Food & Drink - 16 November 2007

I found this out a couple of years ago and have NEVER had a Fig Newton since.

If you made Fig Newtons for a living and you wanted to know how many insects could get into your Newtons without your getting into hot water with the FDA, you could look it up on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Defect Action Levels Web site. Here you would learn that fig paste is allowed to have up to 13 insect heads per 100 grams.

just this week, I paid $ 4.25 for a gallon of MILK! When I was a kid on my grandparents farm, one cow produced more milk than a family of 8 could consume. My grandmother made cheese, butter, and then she GAVE milk away!

$ 4.25 a gallon for milk--is anyone else outraged?

Aren't aspartame, saccharine, sucrulose and sorbital all sugar substitutes? Why would it be necessary to put both sugar and a sugar substitute in something? Am I the only person who thinks that’s pointless? If there is a good reason for it, please tell me what that reason is.

Does any one from Chicago or Kankakee, Illinois know where I can buy cream of tartar at a cheap price. Less than $4. I also need to know the recipe for Baked Alaska. Its delicious and I want to make some for Thanksgiving but I can;t find that ingredient or recipe.

a WHOLE day just to put dinner on the table?

Here in L.A. Calif, milk is $6, bread is $5, Bacon $6, and cereal $5, eggs$4. So if you make $6 an hour at 8 hours, you are paying $26 for just breakfast, not to mention butter, heat, the pan, and your energy. So you have to work nearly 5 hours FOR BREAKFAST ON THE TABLE. Now, dinner, let's say chicken dinner with potatoes-- a whole chicken is $8 and potatoes $3= $11. Total for day is $36 meaning you work 6 hours just for breakfast and dinner.
Years from now it's going to get worse. I live in Los Angeles, the prices are high. Give your state and price on things.
