Foodie Roundup #1905

February has landed and so too has Foodie Roundup #1905.

Gone is dry January. So too is veganuary. You may even be struggling to keep up with your new year’s resolutions. The world, however, keeps on spinning and churning out news stories to beat the band.

Seen as I’m up and about early of a Sunday morning, here’s the early edition of this week’s Foodie Roundup.

Foodie Roundup #1905: To Sunday 3 January 2019

  • Ariel Knobel at Forbes ponders on whether a universal healthy label could help you make better food choices.
  • Pablo Escobar gets name-checked in the Fyre documentary on Netflix. Alistair Mason via the Indo spots that Pablo Escoburgers in Australia introduced a burger with ‘cartel secret sauce’, a rolled up bank note and a fake line of cocaine. Too much?
  • Tomé Morrissy-Swan at the Telegraph loves breakfast – but is it actually the most important meal of the day?
  • Argiland have a piece by Caroline Allen on a new food technology and business degree at Athlone IT.
  • From the food pyramid to what’s on your plate, Marie Clare Digby’s piece in the Irish Times checks in on the ideal diet.
  • Via the Independent, John von Radowitz follows a report suggesting heavy drinking can alter DNA in ways that increase the desire for alcohol.
  • If you like your coffee ‘far out’ – how about beans roasted in space?
  • It happened with Supermacs and McDonald’s, now Cadbury and Nestle are going at it over the colour purple.
  • A white bread sandwich in the belly is better than a vegan curry in the bin, when it comes to a child’s lunch, writes Mary McCarthy in The Journal.
  • If you fancy a trip to the UK this month there’s a new two-day cheese festival in Manchester over Valentine’s weekend.

As always, if you’ve got a story to share, a press release to pass along, get in touch. Email me here or tweet me @kenonfood to start the conversation.
