Women's Health November 2010

Women’s Health Magazine has chosen Eden Organic 100% Whole Grain Udon Pasta as one of the 125 best foods for women, named in the magazine’s November 2010 issue.

The noodles were a top pick in the category of “Pasta and Rice” in the annual feature.

Eden Organic 100% Whole Grain Udon Noodles

Women’s Health wrote, “With 15 percent of your daily dose of iron, zinc, and niacin, plus 20 percent of your day’s thiamin, phosphorus, and magnesium, Eden’s Japanese noodle puts others to shame,” adding that there was “no need to fear these carbs.”

As part of her Let’s Move! initiative, First Lady Michelle Obama is expected to make an announcement on Monday about a program that will put 5,000 salad bars in schools across the U.S.

The campaign is not expected to move without opposition, though, primarily because of the USDA nutrition tracking rules and local health inspectors, reports Grist.org.

As Jamie Oliver learned when he tried to transform a Virginia town’s diet, the USDA has some strict rules about what qualifies for nutritious food (French fries are definitely okay) and schools won’t be open to the plan if they cannot get proper reimbursement.

A few school districts, Philadelphia, Austin, Tex., and Montgomery County, Md, have already decided they will not welcome the bars once the initiative starts.

There is also the question of sanitation.

In case you missed the recent episode of “Running Russell Simmons,” here’s the clip that was shown where Simmons’ assistant, Simone Reyes, participated in a PETA demonstration against meat earlier this summer.

Reyes, a vegan and animal rights activist, got doused in red body paint and wrapped in Saran Wrap to give a shocking view that meat in grocery stores isn’t that different from human flesh.

Tune in on Tuesdays at 9/8 C on the Oxygen Channel to see more of Reyes.

Olivia Munn‘s reporting on the passing Proposition B, a new law in Missouri which passed with 52% of the “yes” vote that sets down stricter rules for puppy breeders, finds her interviewing one opponent to the new measure who compares it to Obamacare and cites humans are treated the same way as puppies in mills are all the time.

When Munn asks how, the opponent replies that humans are housed in apartments that are stacked just like crates in mills.

But, as Munn insists, most apartments don’t allow your neighbor to sh*t on your head just because he’s housed above you, something puppy mills have failed to accommodate for.

Another hilarious satire from The Daily Show.
