He preferred his dad’s. “Moroccans tend to make a lot of salads with vegetables based on the season, and the base is always olive oil, some… Read More

No mow ‘junk food’ for bees
Canadian conservationists are trying to change the message behind No Mow May, a campaign to support pollinators such as bees, because it doesn’t apply well here. No Mow May was conceived by the botanical charity Plantlife in Europe in 2019, and it hasn’t traveled well across the ocean, said PEI biologist Kate MacQuarrie. “I’m not a huge fan of the reason it’s being promoted, which is primarily for promoting dandelions,” said MacQuarrie. “Dandelions [are] really junk food for bees. It’s abundant but not very nutritious.” The problem is dandelions are not native plants, she said. They are native to Europe,… Read More

New World ag on its way: FDA gives initial thumbs up to pork from gene-edited pigs
As the popular children’s poem goes: “This little piggy went to market.” Now that the Food and Drug Administration has authorized letting gene-edited pigs enter the human food chain, that may be the case for a vastly different sort of pig than the one in the Mother Goose poem. As a starter, German-style sausages, made from five 2-year-old genetically edited pigs, which were cooked up earlier this month at Washington State University, were a test case. Jon Oatley, a professor in the college’s School of Molecular Biosciences, said he went through the FDA food-use authorization process for the pigs to… Read More
