A Little Bit of Green

Safety

It will now be easier to find recalled meat products. The USDA has finally agreed to start posting the names of retail stores that received meat products involved in a Class 1 recall. However they will still not list distribution centers, institutions (hospitals, schools, etc) or restaurants. Thank you to Eat Drink Better for the heads up on this.

Health

The Baltimore Sun reports that a recent study by the University of Southampton in England found a link between artificial coloring and preservatives and ADHD in children. Thank you to Healthy Child Healthy World Blog for pointing out the link.

Cooking

Interested in cooking more whole grains? Here’s a great guide on cooking times from Whole Foods. I found it on an equally interesting article on substituting other grains for wheat at The Keeper of the Home.
