If you had to give up one of the above to save the earth, which would it be? More than meats the eye in fight against global warming Many of us here are both car lovers and foodies, so this is a really tough choice. If push comes to shove, I guess I could still find some enjoyment in cycling and bicycles. So I’ll keep my steaks 😁

http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews...324-269935.html The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) today announced that it will extend its suspension on the import of all fruits and vegetables to include Chiba and Ehime with immediate effect. Four samples of vegetables tested were found to contain radioactive contaminants. These were imported from the affected prefectures of Tochigi and Ibaraki, as well as Chiba and Ehime which are outside the affected areas. 161 samples of fresh produce such as seafood, fruits, vegetables and meat have been tested to date. From the shipment imported yesterday, the following were found to be contaminated: Mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley), Nanohana (Rape seed plant), Mizuna (Japanese mustard), and Perilla Leaf. All the affected shipment have been detained and will be disposed of. There is no cause for alarm, however, as an adult would need to consume 3.5 kg of these vegetables to receive a similar level of radiation exposure from one x-ray. According to the Ministry of Health, the short-term consumption of food at these detected levels of radioactive contamination does not pose a health hazard. AVA will continue to closely monitor and test food imports from Japan, and has extended the testing of food products from Japan to include high risk processed food such as infant formula and fresh dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cream.

Hi all, Do you believe in anticancer and antioxidants traits in vegetables, particularly Broccoli, Asparagus, carrots and Tomato? What are the vegetables that you consumed that have such properties? Do you only buy certain type of vegetables for domestic consumption? For me, we usually have broocoli and carrots at home daily. Please share. Thank you very much. Regards,

Vegetables not only give you vitamin & minerals but also can be an art pieces........ "In this forest, trees are made of brocolis, with peas hanged up and the highways are paved with cumin. The grass is made of herbs and the mountains, of bread. Clouds made of cauliflower, decorate the sky" enjoy your viewing........
