      Dunkin Donuts Pulls Hot Chocolate, Dunkaccinos Over Salmonella Scare

      Dunkin Donuts is stopping sales of its hot chocolate and Dunkaccino products because one of its milk supplier, Plainview Milk Products Cooperative, found salmonella on some of its equipment. DD says they haven't found any contamination in any of their products but wanted to be safe. We're glad to see a company being proactive about food safety and we're glad to see testing uncover contamination before any illnesses were reported, but still, pathogens in cookie dough and hot chocolate is just mean.

      Former FDA Head Says Food Manufacturers Use Sugar, Salt, And Fat To Short Circuit The Brain's Reward System

      Do you have trouble resisting the urge to scarf down that cookie/candy bar/entree? Maybe it's because somewhere upstream, experts spent lots of time and money manipulating the ingredients to deliver the consumer to a "bliss point," suggests former FDA head Dr. David A. Kessler. His book "The End of Overeating" looks at how modern food has been designed to be as irresistible and satisfying as possible. More »

      Don't Put Too Much Faith In Fortified Foods

      The Wall Street Journal points out that fortified foods—yogurt with probiotics, pasta with calcium, orange juice with omega-3 fatty acid—have exploded into a $30+ billion a year industry, but
      that doesn't mean they're good replacements for unprocessed foods.

      "Processing destroys nutrients, and the more processing there is, the more destruction you get," says Marion Nestle, author and professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University. "Fortification adds back some nutrients, so overall you're better off with a processed fortified food than a processed unfortified one. But a whole food is always going to be superior."

      White Castle Refuses To Serve Electric Scooter Rider Via Drive-Through

      A White Castle in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a 24-hour establishment, but it locks its dining room doors at 11 pm. Unfortunately, its drive-through service is restricted to customers in cars, so the employees refused to serve a 37-year-old woman who pulled up on an electric mobility scooter. Now she says she's madder than fish grease, which is pretty mad, and she wants to sue them for discriminating against customers who can't drive. More »
