Did you ever experience portion distortion? Like when you munch on an order of fries that could feed your whole family? Next time, halt portion distortion by splitting those fries with a friend or getting the smaller size. Instead of a mega-size candy bar, see whether the smaller size hits the spot just as well.

The grill is a common method used for cooking food. The usual foods that are associated with grilling are meats, but vegetables are very good grilled. Grilling vegetables is not a hard task.

Summer grilling season is a great excuse to give the pizza delivery guy a break. Grilling infuses pizza with a wonderful smoky flavor and a crisp, chewy crust. But you need to know a few basics. First, your toppings need to be precooked because the pizza won’t be on the grill long enough to cook them there. Second, it’s important to start with clean, well-oiled grates. The dough will stick to any charred bits of food left on the grates.

Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.It is estimated that more than a billion people, one in every six human beings, may be suffering from under-nourishment.The rise in food prices in 2007-08, followed by the financial and economic crisis in 2009, has heightened awareness on poverty and hunger issues around the world.

The FAO Food Price Index is a measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities. It consists of the average of five commodity group price indices (representing 55 quotations), weighted with the average export shares of each of the groups for 2002-2004. In February, FAO revised the composition of the Meat Price Index. This resulted in adjustments to the historical values of the FFPI. For more information please visit this site.

Rioja wines are pure genius. They're an exceptional value, especially important in tough economic times when both quality, and value really matter. To save you the time and cost of storage, they're not released until ready to drink. In fact, some of our new releases are already seven years old. Often considered the best food wines on earth, there are more than a thousand Rioja wines with choices for every style, occasion and price point.

Covering wine-related topics of interest, controversy, and debate. My focus on Washington wines, Oregon wines, and the wineries of the entire Pacific Northwest is where the conversation begins. I hope you'll make this a regular feature of your own wine blog reading.

In 1981, as a young winemaker, I took a job in Virginia. The vision of unlimited possibilities and a few good wines eventually lured me to set my roots on an abandoned hardscrabble farm on the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Much has changed since those early pioneer days, but the excitement of winegrowing in an evolving region stays just as strong. Over the years I have joined in partnership with other like minded winegrowers. Our job is to express the forces of earth, weather and vine in the bottle. All the grapes used to make Linden wines are grown in the mountains and valleys surrounding the winery. As winegrowers we are primarily interested in how each vineyard site is expressed in the glass. Place is more important than grape variety. Our white wines have subtle minerality, verve and vibrant acidity. Our red wines show earth, depth and structure. Our wines age quite well and we often release them many years past vintage.

Food is an intensely personal choice. It’s also become a topic of great debate flamed by fitness “experts”, fads and activists. Michele Payn-Knoper doesn’t believe in telling people how to eat – just as she doesn’t believe in telling people how to farm. It’s all about choice. We encourage food choices based upon science and insight from those in agriculture who have firsthand experience. This list does not represent every food blogger, but rather people who work professionally in nutrition, food science and related arenas.
