Japanese snack maker Koikeya…collaborated with gold-leaf maker Hakuichi…to create the Koikeya Pride Potato Kanazawa Gold Leaf Salt chips. The chips are crafted with particular care to the ingredients and frying process, using gold leaf pieces in two different sizes to ensure the chips are thoroughly coated.

Le pillage de notre planète est entré dans une nouvelle ère : l’hyperextractivisme. Dans la lutte séculaire pour le profit, les grandes multinationales passent à la vitesse supérieure. Ce qu’il en coûte pour l’humanité et la nature est secondaire pour ceux que Stendhal appelait les happy few.

Ah, ils s’éclatent, les #super-riches. Un aventurier américain a récemment mis à l’eau l’Utopia IV. Après avoir déboursé 53 millions d’euros, il flotte maintenant sur les océans à bord de son super yacht. Plus besoin donc de vivre dans le monde des humains, où les gens dorment dehors ou sous des porches, et urinent dans un coin de la gare. Un autre navire, le Cloudbreak (75 mètres de long) sert à son propriétaire de base flottante pour gagner les pistes de ski ou les spots de surf en hélicoptère. Un équipage de 22 hommes s’affaire sur le Sorcha, un voilier de compétition du type Maxi 72. Un tel bateau coûte facilement 5 à 6 millions d’euros à l’achat, 2 millions annuellement pour l’entretien et encore 1 million par saison de compétition de voile. Quand on ne sait pas quoi faire de son argent, on trouve son inspiration dans How To Spend It, un supplément luxueux au journal économique et financier Financial Times. How To Spend It est très branché sur les joujoux pour ultra-riches. Voitures, robes, bijoux, safaris... ou montres. Le capitaine du Sorcha est aussi aux commandes (capitaine of industry) de la marque de montres Richard Mille qui produit des montres pour qui en a les moyens, leurs prix pouvant atteindre 900.000 euros pièce. Elles sont composées de saphirs et autres pierres précieuses, mais aussi de titane, vanadium, rhodium et autres métaux hi-tech.

Dans How To Spend It, on observe les produits de luxe dévoreurs de métaux rares qui sont proposés à la bourgeoisie transnationale.

Food Politics by Marion Nestle » Diet and cancer risk: the latest research evidence

The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research have published their third compendium of information about diet and cancer risk.

By this time, their research base is so enormous that it takes them 12,000 pages to cover it.  The summary alone is more than 100 pages.

Consequently, they have created an online toolkit with a matrix for dealing with the information.

How much of the food dollar do farmers get? - Marion Nestle (2011 ou 2018 [?])

Breastfeeding policies are a barrier to trade? The U.S. trade office thinks so - by Marion Nestle (Food Politics)
▻http://www.foodpolitics.com/2017/05/breastfeeding-policies-are-a-barrier-to-trade-the-u-s-trade-office-thi

The Trump administration wants to get rid of these “technical trade barriers:”

– Hong Kong draft code designed to “protect breastfeeding and contribute to the provision of safe and adequate nutrition for infants and young children.” This, according to USTR, could reduce sales of food products for infants and young children.
– Indonesia: USTR wants to get rid of a draft regulation to ban advertising or promotion of milk products for children up to two years of age.
– Malaysia: USTR doesn’t like its code restricting corporate marketing practices aimed at toddlers and young children.
– Thailand: USTR wants to eliminate penalties for corporations that violate laws restricting the promotional, and marketing activities for modified milk for infants, follow-up formula for infants and young children, and supplemental foods for infants.

This is about protecting sales of infant formulas and weaning foods heavily marketing to mothers in developing countries as superior to breastfeeding, this despite vast amounts of evidence for the superiority of breastfeeding over any other method for promoting infant health.

Proponents of food biotechnology are still talking about Golden Rice? Sigh | Marion Nestle (Food Politics)
▻http://www.foodpolitics.com/2013/08/proponents-of-food-biotechnology-are-still-talking-about-golden-rice-s

I wrote about the science and politics of Golden Rice extensively a decade ago in my book, Safe Food: The Politics of Food Safety. 

(...) Golden Rice (Chapter 5) is the most prominent example of the benefits of agricultural biotechnology but ten years later its promise was still unfulfilled. (...) Such technological approaches, advocates maintain, are doomed to fail unless they also address underlying social issues.

(...)
Much of the promise of food biotechnology depends on its science, but the realities depend on social as well as scientific factors…The lack of vitamin A is the single most important cause of blindness among children in developing countries and a major contributor to deaths among malnourished children and adults….[but] Golden Rice is unlikely to have much commercial potential in developing countries. Its public relations value, however, is enormous.

BBC News - Who, Why, What: Can foods have negative calories?
▻http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21723312

“In actuality there are no negative-calorie foods,” he says.

Or, as the esteemed nutritionist Marion Nestle put it in a one-line email to the BBC: “Total myth. Nothing else to be said.”

American Beverage Association sponsors conference on obesity in minorities? | Marion Nestle
►http://www.foodpolitics.com/2012/07/american-beverage-association-sponsors-conference-on-obesity-in-minori

the third [sponsor] is the American Beverage Association (ABA), the trade association for Coke, Pepsi, and other sugary drinks linked to poor diets and overweight among children and adults.

This is the group that so opposes Mayor Bloomberg’s proposed bad on soft drinks larger than 16 ounces.

(...) the soft drink industry makes no apologies for targeting minorities and considers it “smart marketing.”

(...) The irony: soft drink companies are sponsoring a conference to solve a health problem that their products helped cause in the first place.

Want to take bets on whether any of the speakers suggests cutting down on sodas or “don’t drink your calories”?

La guerre des #cupcakes !

Welcome to the latest iteration of the “cupcake wars:” Massachusetts v. bake sales — Marion Nestle

School celebrations alone can account for a whopping 20% to 35% of a child’s daily calorie needs. This percentage does not account for additional treats sent home with children, given to them by teachers as rewards, or purchased in school at bake sales.

To expand sales, food companies desperately seek new markets. Last week, The Guardian and the Wall Street Journal described how food corporations are marketing processed foods to the poorest inhabitants of developing countries.

Eat French fries, gain weight? by Marion Nestle - Food Politics
►http://www.foodpolitics.com/2011/06/eat-french-fries-gain-weight

The study, which came out in the New England Journal of Medicine last week, looked at the weight gained by more than 100,000 people who had filled out diet questionnaires in 1986 or later. It correlates what people said they ate with weight gained over periods of 4 years:

The results show that people who said they habitually ate potato chips, potatoes, or fries—as well as the the other foods in the top part of the diagram—were more likely to gain weight.

(...) What fun! The study assigns pounds of weight gained or lost to specific foods.
