Happy Food; Is this News Worth Reporting?
This fresh pea risotto was another delicious dish I enjoyed while visiting family over the weekend. The peas had been freshly picked in the garden and was both pureed and stirred whole into the risotto. This was the first course of our feast on Saturday night. Risotto is definitely happy food in my book.
Is This News Worth Reporting?
Before I write this blog, I usually read a variety of newsletters, blog feeds, and other sources of food news to share with you here. Today, I found nothing inspiring. Yes, there was the depressing news that scientists are beginning to see the effects of the oil spill on the food web in the gulf. But that’s not a big surprise, in my opinion, it was only a matter of time before that happened. There was also the bit about scientists finding that a diet higher in fresh fresh fruits and vegetables, compared with one high in meat, fats and refined foods, reduces the risk of colorectal cancer, again not especially surprising. The fact that high fiber breakfasts enhance fat burning almost as much as working out on an empty stomach was good news for those of us who can’t work out on an empty stomach.
My question to you, readers, is what kind of food news do you find interesting? What types of stories would you like me to report on here? Are these news bits worth reporting in more detail? Or is there other types of food news you’d like me to find and share with you? I especially would like to invite my silent readers to share your thoughts in today’s comments section of this blog, just below. I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

Got something to say?
Risotto takes so much time and attention to cook it obviously must have been a labor of love at your family gathering.
I’m not really interested in reading about food news here because I can and do read about food news elsewhere. I’m interested in “One woman’s search for something good to eat”. I like quests, like the search for the “Holy Grail”. What is the one food that is really good to eat ? What is the journey to find it like? I want the trials and tribulations. I want a glorious feast at the end.
List your top ten meals and go on a quest to replace those top ten meals in a year, if you can.
Hmmm. And here I thought it was just the opposite. We’ll have to see if other readers chime in expressing the same voyeuristic interest, as opposed to seeking news.
As for top 10 meals, no can do. I have very few repeat meals. Maybe past and gravy, but I could NEVER replace that one!
I like investigative reporting. Many food producers are trying to jump on the “healthy, green, good for you” bandwagon, and misrepresent their products as such. I like it when these folks are called on the carpet and their tactics are exposed. I don’t like being played for a fool and I appreciate having the knowledge to avoid buying their products.
