Interesting. Nutraingredients Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have recently demonstrated in experimental models that blocking the Sigma-1 receptor, a cellular protein, reduced binge eating and caused binge eaters to eat more slowly! Science Daily It’s not often you find chefs dishing out really simple recipes but this recipe for fried fish is just so simple and so easy that it would be unkind of me not to share it here. Cheftraining California fruit and vegetable growers are looking forward to legislation that will see them able to insure themselves against a future food safety scare, under an evolving Senate farm bill poised for passage late Wednesday or sometime today; way to go senators! ”When a food safety recall occurs consumers stop purchasing the product regardless of what farm the food came from,” Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said. “When this happens, producers suffer major financial losses because of a recall they did not cause.” Fresnobee
