Does anyone know anything about the new Union Fare?
Union Fare
I walked in to check it out, and only the coffee shop was open. The barista said they are opening a restaurant, oyster bar, and artisanal marketplace next door. Have any artisans been approached ab...

Zesty_Z I stopped by there and got more details. Looks like it'll be more like Chelsea market style hot/prepared foods than packaged items
Did you know??
That 40% of our corn crop winds up in gas tanks as ethanol and about 8 bushels of corn is only 22 gallons of fuel BUT is also enough to feed a person for a year. Not a huge proponent of an all-corn...

DietID_TeamDietitians This is heartbreaking. We're using so much of our land for fuel for cars instead of fuel for our bodies

Why the new nutrition labels won't work <- I disagree with this. Do you?
politico.com
This article kind of boils my blood. It doesn't take into account that nutrition labels were paired with advice to reduce fat and no info about sugar. So in that case, i imagine people followed the...

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!! Totally agree! The many faces of sugar are highly problematic. I hope we can get simplified labels soon. And yes - great idea - we should get the movie teams on this issue!

There's some debate on how to clean and store freshly laid eggs. Also, do they taste different? How long do they last? 🐔🐔

Udi I heard that eggs in the US get cleaned in such a way that the protective coating on the outside gets stripped off and that's why we have to refrigerate them. But, freshly laid ones, I think you...

MargaretG My brother, who is a farmer, keeps his eggs unrefrigerated and unwashed up to 2 week but that makes me nervous. I usually refrigerated them even unwashed as soon as I get them from the hen. More:...

Can you explain the lifecycle of an onion?
Looking for some #kitchentips! I've just learned that onions don't last forever (I knew that, but this is still surprising). I was away from home for ~10 days, so my onions weren't given the usual ...

Radioactive neon yellow egg insides?
I just cracked an egg into my frying pan and the contents was an extremely bright neon yellow color. Freaked me out a bit, so I didn't eat it. Other eggs from the same carton were totally normal....
