More restaurants offering gluten-free menus
Increasing awareness of people with incurable wheat allergies
AP News
NEW YORK - As a longtime chef in four-star restaurants, Joseph Pace had seen appreciative customers before. But nothing prepared him for the day that a well-dressed man walked into his Greenwich Village restaurant, ordered a pizza and a beer, and broke into tears.
That man, Pace recalls, had been diagnosed ten years earlier with celiac disease — an incurable affliction that makes the body unable to take anything containing gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

For those of you who are interested in the inner workings of restaurant kitchens, I will give you a brief description: pressure! But, I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world. Food is my life and the pressures in the kitchen is what keeps most chefs on their toes and so determined to do what they do best! From the creative side of creating menus and specials to the management side of trying to make your cooks work as a team and keep them motivated, cooking is a career that makes people stronger mentally, physically and emotionally. What do you guys think?

Prison blues: States slimming down inmate meals
By SHANNON McCAFFREY
ATLANTA (AP) — The recession is hitting home for inmates, too: Some cash-strapped states are taking aim at prison menus.

Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might kill you").

Health Bulletin - Limit Calories to 2000 per day
NYC Health Department Launches Calorie Education Campaign
To maintain a healthy weight, most adults need no more than 2,000 calories a day
October 6, 2008 – "Read 'em before you eat 'em," the Health Department advises in a new campaign launched today to help New Yorkers make the most of the city's calorie-posting rules. Under the New York City Health Code, chain restaurants are now required to post calorie counts for food items on menus and menu boards. The rule took effect this summer, after a federal court upheld it and an appellate court refused to delay enforcement while the industry tries again to overturn it.
