Is Starbucks milking the vegan trend?
Posted: at 8:53 am
Move over, soy coconut milk is where its at.
Beginning Feb. 17, Starbucks will be serving the non-soy dairy alternative at branches across the United States, the coffee giant announced Thursday.
Specifically, the company will offer as an ingredient the certified vegan Starbucks Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Milk, made from coconuts grown on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
"Delivering the options our customers want is always the highlight of my day," Christine Barone, Starbucks vice president of category and brand management, said in the companys statement. We are excited to hear back what further customer and partner customization coconut milk inspires.
The new addition is a response to an overwhelming number of requests for an alternative to dairy and soy on MyStarbucksIdea.com, a forum where customers can post suggestions and improvements for new and current products.
It also makes Starbucks the latest of a number of US food establishments such as Mexican fast-casual chain Chipotle and burger joint White Castle that are serving offering a growing number of vegetarian and vegan alternatives.
Is it a passing fad, or a real shift in food culture?
The figures seem to suggest the latter: Meat consumption in the United States has been falling for close to a decade, according to a 2013 report by research firm Packaged Facts. About 12 percent of US adults strongly agree and about 19 percent somewhat agree that they are eating many meatless or vegetarian meals, Packaged Facts publisher David Sprinkle said in the firms statement.
The US Department of Agriculture also reported that daily per capita meat consumption has dropped to 0.36 lbs a day in 2012 from 0.4 lbs in 2004. It may not sound like much, but the USDA recommends only 0.21 lbs of meat per day for the average 2,000-calorie diet which means that even that tiny drop could be significant. Overall dairy consumption has declined as well, with Americans consuming less milk, cream, and ice cream but more butter and cheese.
There is also a growing number of prominent faces who support avoiding animal products: Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres changed her diet to vegan in 2008, and R&B star Usher did the same in 2012. Al Gore, following in the footsteps of former president Bill Clinton, went vegan in 2013, while Bill Gates has said that the future of food is beyond meat.

Find great places to eat on campus as a vegetarian or vegan
Posted: at 8:52 am
Graphic by Chelsea Bellomy/Old Gold & Black
There is an increasing number of people in America who are beginning to opt for vegetarian or vegan-based diets.
The most common reason to do so is to cut down on empty calories and fatty foods and to create a healthier lifestyle. As a vegetarian or as a vegan, it can be challenging to find meal options on campus that are both tasty and healthy or to find any options at all. The campus has definitely recognized the need for more vegetarian and vegan options at primary dining facilities like The Pit and there are more Old Gold options that allow vegetarians and vegans to buy wholesome meals. Check out this list of foods that are bound to please the taste buds of vegetarians and vegans alike!
Zicks Nestled on the ground floor of Poteat, not only does Zicks have a great ambiance for hanging out with friends, but it also has some great options for vegetarians. The Old Gold includes two slices of pizza and a drink. Of the two pizzas that are prepared throughout the day, one tends to be cheese-only, and the other is frequently a veggie-only pizza. Zicks also offers custom-made pizzas that are just as, if not more, delicious than the Old Gold option. As of last semester, mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, garlic knots and delicious curly fries are also on the menu. Needless to say, for the vegetarian who doesnt want every meal to be salad, Zicks offers some scrumptious meal options.
Shortys Restaurant Gone are the days of the famous freschetta burger at Shortys. However, the restaurants menu is full of great vegetarian and vegan options. Vegetarians will love the Chop Shop custom-made veggie burgers, the mozzarella sticks, tomato basil soup, apple walnut salad and the ridiculously succulent triple cheese grilled sandwich (best paired with the soups). Dont forget the Nutella, peanut butter and banana sandwich! Whats more, Shortys includes vegan options like the vegan hummus platter with seasonal vegetables and chips, as well as the Shortys House Salad.
Bistro 34 The brunch menu is heaven for those looking for great vegetarian options. The Bistro provides excellent Belgian waffles, monkey toast, spinach and feta omelette and benedict florentine. Lets not even get started on the dessert menu. For lunch, the lentil veggie burger, hummus platter and vegan sesame Asian salad are excellent choices. For dinner, the vegan grilled portobello mushroom sandwich and falafel platter will take you straight to culinary nirvana.
The Pit and the Mag Room The Magnolia Room usually provides some vegetarian options from the Pit, but they tend to be varied and delicious definitely worth visiting for lunch between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.The Pit has made advances to cater to vegetarians and vegans. The salad bar has been diversified, the pizza and pasta section improved with healthy meal options and a soupright next to it. To top it off, the Brueggers bagels have been replaced with Bagel Station bagels (YES!). The omelet and sandwich/wrap line has always been a favorite, and the Mongolian grill definitely targets those who have a passionate love for the Genghis Grill chain of restaurants. There is a great amount of flexibility when finding a vegetarian or vegan meal option. Or, you could do what I do and head straight for the dessert section! The new Pit, formally known as the Hilltop Market, also offers a few limited vegetarian options. Apart from the salad line, the deli tends to have vegetarian paninis, pasta salads, hummus and assorted vegan meals from time to time.
Benson Food Court A quick shout-out to Moes: every time any of my friends or I get a hankering for a good vegetarian meal, we rely on either Moes Old Gold vegetarian nachos with liberally added guacamole and queso, or the Old Gold burrito bowl. You can choose tofu as your meat! If you have enough food dollars, it is definitely worth investing in the stacks and quesadillas that, if you pick the right ingredients, can transform your day from dull to fabulous. Furthermore, Boars Head has an excellent make-your-own sandwich/wrap option. Their caprese sandwich, grilled cheese and veggie burger are all excellent, too. Im sure most of us are familiar with Forest Greens Old Gold salad option and their awesome tomato florentine soup, renowned for curing a cold in less than two days (or is that just me?).
A quick 10-minute walk from campus For those who are willing to walk through Reynolda Trails to get to Reynolda Village, the caprese sandwich, Mad Hatter, Parisian Picnic and tiramisu at Silo are definitely worth it. The vegetarian and vegan options at Pane-e-Vino, such as their fish options, and the personal pizzas at Village Tavern are also worth the walk. And if none of these options please your soul, well, theres always Subway and even Dominos is just a phone call or online order away!

Organic food reduces pesticide exposure
Posted: at 8:51 am
While health-conscious individuals understand the benefits of eating fresh fruits and veggies, they may not be aware of the amount of pesticides they could be ingesting along with their vitamin C and fiber. A new study to be published in the Feb. 5 edition of Environmental Health Perspectives is among the first to predict a person's pesticide exposure based on information about their usual diet.
The study was led by Cynthia Curl, an assistant professor in Boise State University's School of Allied Health Sciences. She recently joined Boise State from the University of Washington.
Curl and her colleagues analyzed the dietary exposure of nearly 4,500 people from six U.S. cities to organophosphates (OPs), the most common insecticides used on conventionally grown produce in the United States. OP pesticides are linked to a number of detrimental health effects, particularly among agricultural workers who are regularly exposed to the chemicals.
Results showed that among individuals eating similar amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who reported eating organic produce had significantly lower OP pesticide exposures than those consuming conventionally grown produce. In addition, consuming those conventionally grown foods typically treated with more of these pesticides during production, including apples, nectarines and peaches, was associated with significantly higher levels of exposure.
"For most Americans, diet is the primary source of OP pesticide exposure," said Curl "The study suggests that by eating organically grown versions of those foods highest in pesticide residues, we can make a measurable difference in the levels of pesticides in our bodies."
This study included dietary data collected from participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a large, multi-institutional project funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute that is investigating factors that influence the onset of cardiovascular disease.
The researchers were able to predict each participant's exposure to OP pesticides based on the amount and type of produce each participant typically ate and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's measurements of pesticide residue levels on those foods. The researchers then compared these predictions to pesticide metabolite levels measured in urine samples from a subset of 720 of these people.
While Curl's study is not the first to link organic produce with reduced pesticide exposure, the method she used may have significant implications for future research. By combining self-reported information on typical food consumption with USDA measurements, researchers will be able to conduct research on the relationship between dietary pesticide exposure and health outcomes in bigger populations, without needing to measure urinary metabolites.
"If we can predict pesticide exposure using dietary questionnaire data, then we may be able to understand the potential health effects of dietary exposure to pesticides without having to collect biological samples from people," Curl said. "That will allow research on organic food to be both less expensive and less invasive."
"The next step is to use these exposure predictions to examine the relationship between dietary exposure to pesticides and health outcomes, including neurological and cognitive endpoints. We'll be able to do that in this same population of nearly 4,500 people," she said.
