I'm afraid I won't be able to make this week's meeting either, but at least I'm managing to update the blog. Sorry about last week.
So, what's happening in food this week? At Fooducate, information on why food manufacturers still use so much high-fructose corn syrup when people are objecting to it more and more; a two-parter on “Corn Syrup's Secret Labeling Trick” that means a substance that's essentially all sugar need not be listed as part of a food's sugar content; and a set of healthy-eating tips for families with kids (some of which are useful even for those of us without).
Chow.com's “Chow Tips” teaches us all how to carbonate grapes! Personally I like my grapes just fine uncarbonated, but if you care to try carbonating them (or any other fruit) and have a whipping syphon by all means go for it. Also from Chow.com a set of autumnal soup recipes which will no doubt prove invaluable as soon as the temperatures drop below 90°, a smaller collection of chili recipes (“From Chicken to Beef to Vegan”), and Supertaster's taste test of fake bacons (in preparation for the impending baconpocalypse).
Darya Pino, at Summer Tomato, gives “10 Simple Ways to Eat Less Without Noticing”, how to eat healthy even if you haven't access to a farmers' market, and MYO Muesli! Mark Bittman fills us in on Safeway's new skipjack tuna – responsibly caught, without endangering other sea life, and no more expensive than other kinds of tuna. Grist's Umbra explores whether microwaving veggies really does deprive them of nutrients. And from Simply Recipes, a super-fast-super-easy recipe for miso glazed salmon!
