What are your thoughts on CSAs?
As a farmer I both love running a CSA program and also stress out about it at times. Joining a CSA is a wonderful way to eat local, seasonal and at times unique vegetables. It also really helps a f...
Food Policy Action | Tell Congress: Reject electronic GMO labeling & demand mandatory, clear, on-package labels

Proposed solution for labeling GMO food: QR codes? I mean no matter your feelings about GMO food, QR codes as a solution for anything, ever... Sorry. I'm biasing the discussion. Would you scan a QR...

sugardetoxme I have used a QR code once. So I'm with you. I'm curious what other folks on the farming, journalism and policy front think would be great solutions @SaraGassman @olivettefarm @Emmatellsfoodstories...

olivettefarm I've never used a QR code and I doubt most people would for their food. I think clear on package labeling is the very best option, but that will be a huge fight. In the mean time I think educating...

annefood So smartphone = no access to the information. People should not need fancy technology to be able to know what they're eating. And I guarantee a busy mother with a job and three kids does not have...
What do you think are the biggest issues in food today?
Is it in food production? Distribution? Access? Waste? Consumer education? Legislation? Something else entirely? Would love to hear what you guys think.

katewilson I'm voting food waste but I'm thrilled to see how much efforts are being put behind it now
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter I still feel the dietary guidelines are inadequate. If the USDA could consider the public over corporations, we'd have better direction.
-
sugardetoxme It's two parts for me. Food waste is obviously huge. If good food was about actually feeding people then we wouldn't have hunger, but food has become a business. But let's also talk about the big...
We're launching a Food Book & Film Club. Suggestions?
Foodstand will be launching a Food Book & Film Club come April so that we can have food-worthy discussions both on and off the app. Any favorite or thought-provoking food books or films you'd like ...

Simran This is great, I'd love to chat about the Netflix series Cooked which starts streaming tomorrow
-
sugardetoxme Perfect @Simran ... It's on our list too!
-
katewilson I know this is probably a given but Third Plate by Dan Barber and anything Michael Pollan.
Food traditions around the world!
San Pedro La Laguna, Sololá.
It's inspiring to travel and see local food culture and customs, what's your favorite place to explore and experience food traditions?!
What's for dinner tonight? I have this curried chicken sweet potato skillet cookin'!
-
sugardetoxme Is that spinach or chard in there?
-
marynfulton2 It's actually a mix of both with baby bok choy as well
Love Inday. Love Chinese and Thai food as well. Anyone know of any healthy spots in NY?
INDAY
Inday is full of flavor and caters to all diets. So Delicious.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter I've always wanted to go there! Looks amazing. Hu serves paleo food which I like to eat when I don't want any grains. It's on 5th Ave between 13th and 14th St.
-
SimplySeema @darkchocolatepeanutbutter yes, love Hu. Thank you. If you discover any Chinese or Thai spots that you recommend, do let me know. :)

lauren Wow need to check it out!
First time in to a shakeshack. Question: anyone know if Danny Meyer has committed to using non GMO soy oil to fry his fries? I didn't try the fries as the server could not give an answer!
Shake Shack
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Good question! I know they committed to #non-GMO buns, but don't know about the oil. @KyleMcCullers should know
Love hard boiled eggs, but have a hard time taking the shell off. Any good tricks to share with me?
-
sugardetoxme Don't use fresh ones (unfortunately) and shock with cold water right after boiling.
-
sugardetoxme Also putting eggs in a closed Tupperware and shaking vigorously to shatter the shell works
-
lauren I was told salt will do the trick!
What is your favorite bitter green and how do you prepare it?
Sweet beets with ricotta salata and rich toasty hazelnuts are a great foil for these bitter dandelion greens!
-
JenniferEmilson I still like chard, chicory or even radicchio (even though it's not green!!)

I loved when I was a CSA member! The farm where I got my produce used to send out a newsletter with each basket, with a recipe and tips for using some of the not so well-known fruits and veggies,...

I loved the csa when I was a part of it because it actually simplified food shopping and ensured I tried new things. But I did miss going to the farmers markets.
