Beating inflation doesn’t have to mean sacrificing good nutrition, says expert.
Inflation is biting into the average shopper’s food budget, but there are ways to still keep good nutrition on the table, says a University of Alberta expert.
Basic cooking skills, combined with a dash of careful planning, can help ease the price Canadians are going to pay in 2023 for groceries, says registered dietitian Heidi Bates.
“We have the ability to be savvy shoppers, to plan differently and to do more food preparation ourselves to offset inflation and still eat really well,” said Bates.
Despite sky-high prices, fruit, vegetables,…

MANILA – About 700 exhibitors participated in the International Food Exhibition held Friday in Pasay City, with local products and delicacies showing Filipino taste and culture.
The Center for International Trade and Expositions and Missions is aiming to boost the country’s export sales after posting a negative growth for the first quarter of 2023.
“We go where the buyers are. There’s this difficulty of SMEs to go individually, we ask the market to come. We still have programs participating abroad. We had one in Feb, Dubai, another one will be in China. While we have locally-held international shows, we also…
In today’s world, our diets are often packed with fats and sugars. Our ancient instinct to crave calorie-rich foods, which once helped us survive, now leads to harmful health side-effects.
To counteract this, food content creators on social media have been trying to encourage healthy eating and healthy eating content.
But here’s the kicker — this content doesn’t get much engagement. Instead, posts that show unhealthy, high-calorie foods get more likes, shares and comments. This popularity of junk food online may tempt content creators and algorithms to show more of the same, tilting our view of “normal” eating habits towards…
As a teen and young adult, I drank a lot of full-sugar sodas—Mountain Dew, mostly. One day I decided that I would swap them all out for their diet equivalents, and the resulting loss of calories would mean I’d drop an easy five, maybe ten pounds by the end of the year. I stuck to my promise, and you know how many pounds I lost, changing nothing else about my diet? Zeros.

A Government minister has recommended that healthy foods attract lower taxes than unhealthy options to make nutritious food more affordable for Barbadians.Minister of Energy and Business Senator Lisa Cummins offered the suggestion on Wednesday as she argued that as the country continues to grapple with a non-communicable disease (NCD) crisis and healthy foods remain more expensive to purchase, it was time to switch up the taxes .“[We must] look at the tariff structure around healthy foods to ensure that you transfer the tariffs on healthy foods onto unhealthy foods, making healthier foods more for people and, therefore, reducing the cost…
