FDA Bans First FD&C Dye! Which Will be Next?

Image
The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs. Food Manufacturers Shiver in their Boots Red Dye No. 3 has mostly been used in baked goods, sweets and candies.  It is used by prominent candy manufacturers such as Mars Inc (Skittles) and Just Born Quality Confections (Peeps).  Food Manufacturing giants such as Con Agra, McCormick, Heinz, General Mills and Pepsi Co will all have to find alternatives for ...

Reviewing Gobble: Is it Better than Hello Fresh?

Today, I’m reviewing another pre-prepped meal delivery company called Gobble.  I learned about Gobble from my sister who had a friend that recommended it to her.  Her friend loved the fact that the foods were ethnic and very quick to prepare.  


Gobble is similar to other pre-prepped meal delivery companies such as Hello Fresh and Green Chef. In the pre-prepped world of cooking, recipe ingredients arrive to your door already chopped, portioned or peeled. You’re simply responsible for cooking the chosen meals yourself.  If you are a seasoned chef or cook, then you know that this makes the work revolving around cooking extremely easy since most of your time is centered on prepping the ingredients that are needed.  

 

Gobble offers three different menus: Classic, Vegetarian and Lean and Clean.  Classic offers a variety of meals, which include meat, poultry and fish. The vegetarian menu does not include meat items and the Lean and Clean menu incorporates meals made solely with protein and healthy fats (hmm sounds like keto).  Like Hello Fresh, Gobble offers a two person plan or a four person plan for a minimum of 2, 3 or 4 nights per week.  The plans round out to $11.99 per serving.  So a two-person plan at 3 nights per week would cost approximately $72 and a four-person plan would be $144.  I'd say that Gobble is a bit more pricy than Hello Fresh.  

 

The menu is also very diverse and a typical weekly menu will offer recipes from a variety of regions.  A typical menu might include a Puerto Rican, Indian, Japanese, Greek, Italian or Mexican recipe.  A big kudos to executive chef Thomas Ricci who begins the creation of each recipe with a specific ingredient or world cuisine. This is definitely the right meal delivery program for adventurous eaters, or those who enjoy real variety when cooking or eating.  I appreciate this aspect the most about Gobble—not to mention, the cute sounding name. Cool pick!

 

The meals that I’m reviewing are 

 

“Singapore Street Noodles” and “Thai Noodle Stir Fry”









Recipes come with a recipe card listing all ingredients, needed supplies and the number of calories per serving.  The Singapore Street Noodles deserves 5 out of 5 stars!!!!! A-mmaaaazingly delicious! Whatever is in that korma spice blend…I absolutely need it. The flavorful ingredients meshed so well together (basil, thai sauce, chili garlic sauce and cilantro).  The only step I changed was frying my egg because sunny side up just isn't my thing.



                                            Pre-Prepped ingredients







Recipe cards have a “Did you know” section, which offers a fun fact about the country or an ingredient in the recipe.  From my cards, I learned that the brown color from soy sauce comes from melanoidin and Singapore is famous for food hawker stalls that immigrants from surrounding countries would bring known recipes to adapt them into the local Singaporean cuisine.





 

The Thai Noodle Stir Fry was a delicious meat free recipe that would wow any one who tried it.  The black pepper and chili garlic sauces really gave this meal a flavorful punch and made what some may consider as tasteless (tofu) so astoundingly exciting.  







I'd highly recommend Gobble to every one and I can’t speak more highly of it.  Folks, if you want to take your dinner recipe stash to the next level, try Gobble. You’ll be glad you did! You can try two meals for two for only $18!!!! What???? Yess!  Get this deal and order Gobble now by visiting the link below:

PETA Protester Confronts Pharrell Williams During Film Premiere

Image
A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals! Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outright...

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...

There's a green company in town that is creating something out of nothing.  That something is delightfully rich butter.  This butter is vegan and made from thin air.  Yes--you heard that right.  The butter is made from air; utilizing real fat and without any impact to the environment.  Savor is the company behind this new and revolutionary fat making process.  To make the butter or fat, a carbon source is heated with hydrogen and is later mixed with oxygen from the air.

Their mission is to commercially produce agriculture free, healthy fats in a way that doesn't negatively affect the environment. The fats are produced without dangerous chemicals and toxins.  Butter is the first type of food that Savor has created but company has plans to expand and begin producing these fats for other foods such as ice cream, milk, cheese and meat.  These foods will all be made without...
