Two kinds of bean cakes were found to be unsuitable for consumption after a spot check on two factories, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Mandalay.

The factories were also temporarily suspended, starting from June 19.

A food survey, and testing by a mobile laboratory van was conducted at Yadanarpon (sa) market in Chan Mya Tharsi township by the FDA on June 12 and two of the four kinds of bean cakes were found to contain formalin after tests.

The bean cake brands which contain formalin were (A), (T), (7) and (Y).

FDA Deputy Director Dr Kyaw Kyaw told The Myanmar Times that formalin is used for dead bodies to prevent decaying. The bean cakes were soaked in formalin as a preservative.

We found two kinds of the bean cake in Yadanapon (sa) market and another two were found during a second spot check.

Dr Kyaw Kyaw said Four out of six collected samples were found to contain formalin. Two brands were produced from the same factory.

The factory produces the bean cakes under various brands. The two factories have been suspended until further notice. One is in Sin village, Patheingyi and the other one in Amarapura. We will continue checking on the bean cakes in markets.

He also said that most of bean cakes in the market are not yet in a position to get FDA endorsement but technical assistance will be provided for production.

Dr Kyaw Kyaw said, Now, they are using wooden molds in production. Technical upgrades for different levels of production will be provided.

According to current findings, bean cakes are being soaked in formalin so that they can last for several days before distribution to other cities.

The two factories, which were temporarily suspended, had pledged not to use the substance. But they changed the brand name and continued using formalin. We will refer the matter to the head office for further action to be taken, said Dr Kyaw Kyaw.

The regional health department, consumer dispute settlement team, township health section and market department of the Mandalay City Development Committee (MCDC) cooperated with the FDA in the excercise.

The food safety project, initiated in Mandalay under the 100-day program of the new government is still continuing and is aimed at ensuring that food in the 44 markets in Mandalay is dye-free and safe to eat.

An official from Market and Abattoir Department said, We cook bean cakes to give vegetarian dishes to monks and the elderly. This type of vegetarian food is causing food poisoning. They should not sell such tainted bean cakes.

FDA officials have urged people to choose natural rather than coloured chilli powder, bamboo shoots, roasted beans and sweet meat.

AHMEDABAD: Sabarmati Ashram will turn 100 on Saturday. On this day a century ago Mahatma Gandhi and other Ashramites shifted to the Satyagraha Ashram at Sabarmati from Kochrab. Interestingly, Bapu was in Motihari on June 17, 1917, where he was right in the midst of recording farmers testimonies in East Champaran. Bapu reached Ahmedabad on June 23, 1917 and wrote an article. "We have Rs 10,000 in cash in Ashram fund. Besides this, I have jewellery and other gifts worth Rs 20,000 given to me before I left for India. A friend again, has promised to buy and donate land and this should mean Rs 10,000. We have thus a total of Rs 40,000." On Saturday, on the occasion of the centenary celebrations, the newly refurbished 'My Life Is My Message' gallery will be re-dedicated to the public by former West Bengal governor and Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi. He will then dedicate a new Charkha Gallery at Magan Niwas. After a brief function, Gopalkrishna Gandhi will release two books, "Letters to Gandhi" and "Pioneers of Satyagraha" after which there will be a recital by Vidya Rao.

Health Roundup: Psychiatric hospital opens in Marysville; yoga, aerobics at Camano Center - Stanwood Camano News

Alicia Silverstone has been an outspoken advocate for veganism for years, even writing a book in 2011 called The Kind Diet that explains why she chose a plant-based way of eating that doesnt include meat, fish, seafood, poultry, dairy or eggs. Now, the Clueless actress is discussing her decision to feed her 6-year-old son, Bear Blu, a vegan diet, too.

Knowing the truth about where our food comes from is just so disturbing to me, she says in a video for the non-profit Farm Sanctuarys Compassionate Meals program, as she and Bear eat veggie burgers and kale salad. Once you see it, theres no way to go back from that for me. Bear is also asked what his favorite thing about being a vegan is. His response: That you dont have to eat yucky meat.

Silverstone says its easy for her to feed Bear vegan foods, and she regularly makes easy-to-assemble meals like tacos and stir-fries. I can make all those things based on whats in the fridge, she says. You always have a bean, you always have a whole grain. Silverstone says being vegan has turned me into a health nut because you feel so good, you feel so different, adding, being able to do something that is good for the Earth, good for the animals, and good for you all at the same time seems like such a no-brainer. Its like the biggest Duh!'

Although veganism is popular, feeding children a vegan diet is a controversial move.

According to a 2016 Harris Interactive Poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group about 3.7 million American adults identify as vegan. But the decision to put children on a vegan diet frequently comes under fire.

A law proposed in Italy in 2016 would make it illegal for parents to put their children on a vegan diet, which lawmakers referred to as "a diet devoid of elements essential for healthy and balanced growth," per Reuters. The proposed law came after several high-profile cases in the country involving undernourished children on vegan diets. In one case, a 1-year-old on a vegan diet only weighed as much as a 3-month-old and, in another, a father alleged that his 12-year-old sons growth was stunted due to a vegan diet chosen by the boys mother.

Silverstone has faced criticism in the past for feeding Bear a vegan diet, and she told People in 2014 that her son loves the food I give him. Hes not being deprived of anything. For him, having amazing fruit is like candy.

There are mixed messages out there when it comes to kids and vegan diets, and its understandable if youre confused.

Some people claim that children who are raised on a vegan diet wont get enough nutrients they need to grow into strong adults, while others say it simply encourages healthy eating in children.

So, is it a good idea to feed kids a vegan diet? Ashanti Woods, M.D., a pediatrician at Baltimores Mercy Medical Center, tells SELF that it depends. Children who consume a vegan diet are generally as healthy, if not more healthy, than children who have a normal diet, he says. Dr. Woods points out that there are various lay definitions of vegetarianism and veganism, but pediatricians pay special attention to true vegans, i.e., those who swear off all animal products. The more restrictions on a diet, the more pediatricians become concerned because these children are at risk for nutritional deficiencies, he says.

When done properly, vegan diets can be a step up from the standard American diet, Dana Simpler, M.D., a primary care practitioner at Baltimore's Mercy Medical Center, tells SELF. Dr. Simpler says that peopleand childrendont need animal protein in their diet provided that theyre getting all their important minerals and nutrients.

The key is having a diet that is well thought out, Lauren Fiechtner, M.D., M.P.H., Director of Nutrition at MassGeneral Hospital for Children in the Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, tells SELF. If the diet is well-planned and monitored by a registered dietitian, this can be safe for children, she says. Worth noting: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says that well-planned vegetarian and vegan diets are healthy for infants and toddlers.

In the long-term, vegetarian and vegan diets have been linked with lower cholesterol levels, a lower risk of heart disease, a lower risk of high blood pressure, and lower risk of type 2 diabetes, Dr. Fiechtner says. Theyre also a good way to promote eating enough fruits and vegetables. In the United States, most children do not meet their goal intake of five servings of fruits or vegetables per day, and so this could also be a benefit, she says.

There are also other potential benefits. Lauren Blake, an R.D. at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, tells SELF that vegetarian and vegan teens typically eat more fiber, iron, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C than their meat-eating counterparts. They also tend to eat fewer sweets, fast foods, and salty snacks.

Of course, theres a right and wrong way to do a vegan diet.

It can even be hard for adults who are in complete control of their diets and understand potential vegan pitfalls to get all the nutrients they need, much less for kids. But creating a well-rounded vegan diet is especially important when it comes to children, who need certain nutrients to develop as best they can.

This is why Dr. Woods urges parents of his patients who are on a vegan diet to be mindful that their children get enough of nutrients that are particularly easy to miss out on. One is vitamin B12. Low levels of this nutrient can lead to neurologic complications in severe cases, Dr. Woods says. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, parents should make sure vegan children get enough via a supplement or fortified foods like soy beverages, cereals, and meat substitutes.

Another important nutrient to pay attention to on a vegan diet is iron. Getting enough iron is key in warding off anemia, and after 4 to 6 months of age, all vegan infants need an outside source of this nutrient. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends iron-fortified cereals and supplements to meet this need.

Since veganism cuts out milk and dairy foods, children on a vegan diet may also need outside supplementation for calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth as they grow.

Dr. Fiechtner points out that vegan diets are also low in omega-3 fatty acids, which are commonly found in fish or eggs. Failure to have enough of these fatty acids has been linked to poor cardiovascular health, as well as issues with eye and brain developmentagain, very important factors for children's healthy growth and development. To meet the potential gaps in a vegan childs diet, Dr. Simpler recommends vitamin supplementation.

Children on a vegan diet are also at risk of not taking in enough daily calories, which is why Dr. Woods recommends that vegan children eat three snacks a day in addition to three meals a day.

Overall, experts say its fine to raise children on a vegan diet, provided youre mindful that theyre getting everything they need and talk with an expert to make sure the diet is well-rounded. Without this important guidance, it's all too easy to feed children a vegan diet that skimps on important nutrients they need. It just takes an effort, Dr. Woods says. If you have questions about putting your child on a vegan diet, get in touch with their pediatrician or a registered dietitian who can help steer you in the right direction.

Alicia Silverstone feeds her son a vegan diet - Fox News

If you thought the weirdness of Portland topped out atVoodoo Donuts or the Freakybuttrue Peculiarium, meet Casa Diablo, the citys vegan strip club. The erotic eatery is best summarized by its motto: Vixens not veal. Sizzle not steak. We put the meat on the pole, not on the plate.

Nicknamed the Famous Vegan House of Sin, Casa Diablo showcases nude dancers with a side of soy stroganoff, hummus veggie wraps, and vegan Sloppy Joes.

Casa Diablo was originally a vegan family restaurant named Pirates Tavern, but had little appeal to workers in northwest Portland, who preferred some action with their arugula. So Johnny Diablo, the restaurants owner, decided to give it a spicy twist, rebranding Pirates Tavern as a joint that is both hot and herbivorous.

Aside from serving vegan food, the club prohibits its dancers from wearing fur, feathers, leather, or wool while performing. Unfortunately the establishment has been criticized and even sued by people claiming it trades the exploitation of animals for the exploitation of women. It seems theres still quite a lot of beef.

Longtime animal rights activist Pamela Anderson is taking her dedication to vegan living one step further by opening a restaurant in France, her new home, that will not serve any meat or daily products. The announcement is buried in a tribute to her boyfriend, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is trapped inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Anderson wants to convince political leaders around the world to help Assange become a free citizen once again. The Barbed Wire actress writes:

I am reaching out to Emmanuel Macron, and to his wife Brigitte Trogneux. As a resident of France, my adopted home, I would like to meet with you and discuss Julian's situation. I am opening a new vegan restaurant in France in July, and I would like to extend my invitation to the new President and his First Lady. Join me on the day I open the doors, and we will sit and eat good food and discuss what can be done for Julian. France could display its strength, and so could you, if you give Julian asylum.

And in a new update on her homepage, the former Baywatch star explains that shes partnering with chef Christophe Leroy on this new temporary restaurant in the southwestern commune of Ramatuelle. The restaurant, dubbed La Table du March, is part of the country inn called Les Moulins de Ramatuelle, which is owned and operated by Leroy. According to Pams website, La Table du March will open on July 4 for 50 nights only. The announcement is accompanied by a series of photos of Anderson posing in the French countryside with a golden retriever.

No word yet on whether the President of France and his wife will take Pam Anderson up on the offer to dine at her seasonal vegan restaurant and wine bar in the south of France, but hed be a fool not to at least seriously consider this invitation.

West Village eatery Detroit Vegan Soul will open the doors at its second location in Grandmont Rosedale next month. Owners Kirsten Ussery and chef Erika Boyd tell the Detroit News that the restaurant is poised for a July 22 launch at 19614 Grand River Avenue on Detroits northwest side.

Ussery and Boyd purchased the former Blue Moon Ice Cream shop building near Pages Bookshop a little over a year ago and have been slowly working on renovations. At roughly 1,200-square-feet the second Detroit Vegan Soul outpost will feature roughly the same sized footprint as the original with seats for 36 patrons. The new location also has a dedicated parking lot and a larger kitchen.

The menu is also expected to be mostly identical to its predecessor with items like catfish tofu and seitan pepper steak. Ussery told Eater in January that the dessert offerings would be slightly different at each restaurant. At the time Ussery also hinted at another possible expansion opportunity in the works. Stay tuned for more updates.
