"At the Food and Drug Administration, which is responsible for inspecting the bulk of food that Americans eat, the agency has gone from a goal of inspecting about 200 plants per week to none and has reduced inspections of imported food. At the Agriculture Department, a meat and poultry hot line that consumers can call for information about food safety or to report problems is closed. At the C.D.C., about 68 percent of staff members were furloughed, including several epidemiologists and dozens of other workers who oversee a database that tracks food-borne illness."

"McDonald's happy image and its golden arches aren't the gateway to bliss in Bolivia. This South American country isn't falling for the barrage of advertising and fast food cooking methods that so easily engulf countries like the United States. Bolivians simply don't trust food prepared in such little time. The quick and easy, mass production method of fast food actually turns Bolivians off altogether. Sixty percent of Bolivians are an indigenous population who generally don't find it worth their health or money to step foot in a McDonald's. Despite its economically friendly fast food prices, McDonald's couldn't coax enough of the indigenous population of Bolivia to eat their BigMacs, McNuggets or McRibs.

Understand Egg Carton Dates
Understand Egg Carton Dates: "
If you're confused about the dates you see on egg cartons, it's not surprising. Food product dating is hard to understand. One of the more puzzling facts is that none of the dates on food packages -- not even "use by" dates -- are an indication of food safety. Instead, package dates refer to product quality. "
{Basically, make sure that you know the current Julian date whenever you go grocery shopping.
the Julian date is used to convey the three-digit "packing" date, just as useful as the "sell by" date.}

" If there is a product in Castilla La Mancha that distinguishes the regional gastronomy it is without doubt Manchego cheese. Manchego Cheese has become a Heritage of World Culture and is representative of the customs of the region that it comes from.
The History of Manchego Cheese is as old as the tradition of raising sheep in the region and time has not changed the essential creation of the product. This cheese has always had its cylindrical shape, its creamy consistency, ivory yellow colour, irregular holes and its external appearance with the “flower” printed on its flat sides and the “pleita “ printed on its rounded sides.
