The Safe Food Handbook: How to Make Smart Choices About Risky Food

Manufacturer: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

This guide includes gluten-free menu items from more than 90 of the nation's top chain restaurants. Whether you're a business traveler or just love vacationing, it can be difficult to manage a gluten-free diet when you are away from home. Our hope is that this guidebook will help you find something to eat no matter where you are. We researched the nation's top restaurants and chains to compile this list of gluten-free menus. You will recognize names like Wendy's, Arby's, Olive Garden, and Applebee's. And you may find a few new restaurants as well. And the good news is - no matter where you are - you are probably not that far from at least a handful of these establishments. Thankfully, more and more restaurants are posting allergen statements and gluten-free choices on their websites. Whenever you are out (even if you have your Gluten Free Road Food book with you), ask your server to see the gluten-free menu. If they have one, you can let out a friendly "Yahoo- thank you!" and if they don't, you probably won't be the first person who has asked about gluten-free food choices. Hopefully they will get the message: we are out there, and we are hungry! Please note that we do not guarantee, nor do these restaurants guarantee that any food you order from this list will be completely gluten-free, but we have used this guide successfully to eat gluten-free while on the road and hope you can too!

The evidence is clear and overwhelming: genetically engineered food is big business, a profitable product on the global market, and as a $6.15 billion industry in 2006, its growth and corporate power are undeniable. Despite the United States government and biotechnology industry's assertion that genetically engineered food is harmless, Americans must question its safety. The truth is that genetically engineered food has never been tested for human consumption. When genetically engineered food was introduced in America more than a decade ago, it was promoted as a solution to some of the world's food problems; however, the promised advantages have never been realized. Beth H. Harrison, PhD, explores why these crops do not benefit consumers, do not feed the world, do not help the environment, and are not rigorously regulated. Yet the government and the biotechnology industry expend questionable efforts to "educate" consumers, the media, and politicians with propaganda championing genetically engineered food as safe and necessary. Meanwhile, an unsuspecting public continues to be force-fed untested, unlabeled food that carries potential adverse health effects. Harrison provides a convincing argument as to why American consumers must question the collusion between their government and the biotechnology industry: their health-and yours-depends on it.

Stormy debates about genetically engineered (GE) food have raged throughout the world in recent years, and the issue is now more potent than ever. Seventy to eighty percent of processed foods now sold in supermarkets contain genetically engineered ingredients, and the trend is growing at a startling rate. This second, completely revised edition of Genetically Engineered Food is an all-in-one guide written specifically to help consumers educate themselves about the risks posed by GE foods. Ronnie Cummins and Ben Lilliston, both leading consumer advocates, provide comprehensive, up-to-the-minute, action-inspiring information, including how to identify GE foods, products to avoid, brands that are GE-free, and how to shop and act with a purpose. They discuss all of the ethical, environmental, and health arguments against GE food, how these foods are being regulated in the United States and abroad, and why consumers are right to oppose them. Genetically Engineered Foods is the first and still one of the few consumer-oriented guides addressing this important subject.
