Former Facts & Arguments editor Lori Fazari still chuckles when she reads Bill Bunn’s romp from 2007. It captures the innocence and zaniness of life with small children.

Ohashi started work on the new flavor last September, and she finished it in May. In tests, she would make about 50 pieces of four to five different versions by hand, tempering chocolate on the marble table, and then taste them side by side, looking for the right balance of soybean powder to sugar syrup. The rice was the shingen mochi itself, but it couldn’t play such a big part in the chocolate bar. “There’s no device or machine for putting a rice cake in a Kit Kat,” Ohashi said sadly. She knew, from the start, that it wouldn’t be possible to replicate the texture of fresh mochi — tender, almost slippery in the mouth — in a chocolate bar. She did, to be true to the mochi, end up putting sticky rice in the Kit Kat’s cream filling. Did the sticky rice in the Kit Kat help to mimic the mochi texture? “No,” Ohashi said, bursting into laughter because she had made an uncomfortable kind of peace with what she could and could not do within the boundaries of her form. “Actually not at all.”

Nations have flags and anthems — but they also have their defining treats. Here are some candies that capture the spirit of the countries they come from.

These chocolate-covered caramels get their name from the celebrity trivia on their wrappers — quite literally, fan tales. They were first created in the 1930s to cash in on movie-star mania not long after the ‘‘talkies’’ came to Australia. Today, the candy is owned by Nestlé, and its team of trivia writers digs up factoids on celebrities from Australia and around the world. Here’s a snippet from a wrapper: ‘‘Born in New South Wales in 1939, he held a job as a painter working on the Sydney Harbour Bridge before rising to fame in the early 1970s after he did a comical interview on ‘A Current Affair.’ He later became a worldwide success with his performance in ‘Crocodile Dundee’ (1986), which he co-wrote.’’ Answer: Paul Hogan.

‘Algramo means by the gram’ Moller says. ‘There’s a big problem in Chile with people gambling with these fruit slot machines, so much so that they are actually illegal. But people like that mechanism, so I thought: how can we create that ease of interaction to give poorer areas access to good food at much cheaper prices?’ Some brands won’t supply food to the districts that Algramo services, they’re deemed too dangerous, and much of Algramo’s mission is to give the poorest families in Chile access to good-quality food. A lifetime spent living in Chile and genuine friendships with people across Santiago have helped this mission. ‘The supermarkets think some parts of Chile are too dangerous for them’ Moller said,  ‘but for us it’s different, we have a really good relationship with the communities.’

However, after being pressed further, Ongwae admitted that there were traces of Copper and Lead that could be dangerous for human consumption.

19 Dec 2018 --- Shoppers favor items with a lower carbon footprint as long as they’re given clear information on the label. This is according to new research from the University of Technology Sydney and Duke University, in Australia. As part of the study, researchers presented 120 participants with a choice of soups. They found that when the products had a “carbon label,” participants bought fewer beef soups and more vegetable soups, in comparison to when there was no label provided. The news comes just as FrieslandCampina launches the first ever milk cartons with the “On the way to PlanetProof” labels in the Netherlands.

Yet demand is growing. Nearly all of the U.S. supply of garbanzo beans is now being consumed domestically to feed American consumers' new-found taste for hummus. The 2014 farm bill included provisions to promote the use of peas, lentils and beans in the school lunch program, while more and more high-end "white tablecloth" restaurants are seeking out top quality peas and lentils to serve to their customers.

Positive sales growth was widespread across most industry segments in October. All segments except for family dining achieved positive same-store sales growth.

For years, consumers have been encouraged to “reduce, reuse, recycle”. For zero-waste advocates, however, “refuse” always comes first – the greenest option is to simply reject whatever bag, straw or bottle is being foisted on you.

Nearly all of that territory has now been lost, but what the militants left behind helps answer the troubling question of their longevity: How did a group whose spectacles of violence galvanized the world against it hold onto so much land for so long?

Thornburrow has had to make sacrifices transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle, eschewing plastic-wrapped snacks and buying less clothing and cosmetics than she did when she was younger. “I rarely wear make-up, but I have so much. We’re made to feel we need this stuff, like having 10 different eyeliners. [Zero waste] is about limiting yourself to what you need. Now I buy second-hand or fair-trade clothing, or just limit myself. I spend a lot less on food and clothes now.”
