from the editor
Organic food production is a self-regulated
industry with government oversight in some
countries, distinct from private gardening.
Currently, the European Union, the United States,
Canada, Japan, and many other countries require
producers to obtain special certification based on
government-defined standards in order to market
food as organic within their borders.
foodstuffs are not richer in vitamins and minerals
than conventionally produced foodstuffs.
With respect to chemical differences in the
composition of organically grown food compared
with conventionally grown food, studies have
examined differences in nutrients, antinutrients,
and pesticide residues.
In the context of these regulations, foods
marketed as organic are produced in a way that
complies with organic standards set by national
governments and international organic industry
trade organizations.
Many people believe that organic foods have
higher content of nutrients and thus are healthier
than conventionally produced foods. However,
scientists have not been equally convinced that
this is the case as the research conducted in the
field has not shown consistent results. A 2009
systematic review in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition found that organically produced
These studies generally suffer from confounding
variables, and are difficult to generalize due to
differences in the tests that were done, the
methods of testing, and because the vagaries of
agriculture affect the chemical composition of
food; these variables include variations in weather.

THE ITALIAN PASTA | 20 RESTAURANTS TO TRY | THE BEST SANDWICHES

The Italian Pasta
B Y S E R E N A A D A M S
According to Wikipedia, is a staple food of traditional
Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily.
It is also commonly used to refer to the variety of pasta
dishes. Typically, pasta is a noodle made from an unleavened
dough of a durum wheat flour mixed with water or eggs and
formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked by boiling
or baking. It can also be made with flour from other cereals
or grains. Pastas may be divided into two broad categories,
dried (pasta secca) and fresh (pasta fresca).
Most dried pasta is commercially produced via an
extrusion process. Fresh pasta was traditionally produced by
hand, sometimes with the aid of simple machines, but today
many varieties of fresh pasta are also commercially produced
by large-scale machines, and the products are widely
available in supermarkets.

We All Scream for
Ice Cream!
An ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It is usually
made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other
ingredients and flavours. It is typically sweetened with sugar or sugar substitutes.

Preparing the
Best Sandwiches
for School
B Y L A V E N D E R H A N S E N
A sandwich is a food item consisting of one or
more types of food, such as vegetables, sliced
cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of
bread, or more generally any dish wherein two or
more pieces of bread serve as a container or
wrapper for some other food. The sandwich was
originally a portable food item or finger food
which began to be popular in the Western World.
Today sandwiches in various versions are found
worldwide.
Sandwiches are a popular type of lunch food,
taken to work, school, or picnics to be eaten as
part of a packed lunch. The bread can be used
plain, or it can be coated with one or more
condiments such as mayonnaise or mustard to
enhance the flavours and texture.

The Secret Ingredient to a
Delicious Cuisine
B Y A R T H U R W I L L I A M S
According to Wikipedia, many plants and plant
parts are eaten as food and around 2,000 plant
species are cultivated for food. Many of these plant
species have several distinct cultivars.
Seeds of plants are a good source of food for
animals, including humans, because they contain
the nutrients necessary for the plant's initial
growth, including many healthful fats, such as
Omega fats. In fact, the majority of food consumed
by human beings are seed-based foods. Edible
seeds include cereals (corn, wheat, rice, et cetera),
legumes (beans, peas, lentils, et cetera), and nuts.
Oilseeds are often pressed to produce rich oils -
sunflower, flaxseed, rapeseed (including canola
oil), sesame, et cetera.
Seeds are typically high in unsaturated fats and,
in moderation, are considered a health food,
although not all seeds are edible.
Large seeds, such as those from a lemon, pose a
choking hazard, while seeds from cherries and
apples contain cyanide which could be poisonous
only if consumed in large volumes.
Fruits are the ripened ovaries of plants,
including the seeds within. Many plants and
animals have coevolved such that the fruits of the
former are an attractive food source to the latter,
because animals that eat the fruits may excrete the
seeds some distance away. Fruits, therefore, make
up a significant part of the diets of most cultures.
Some botanical fruits, such as tomatoes,
pumpkins, and eggplants, are eaten as vegetables.
Vegetables are a second type of plant matter
that is commonly eaten as food. These include root
vegetables (potatoes and carrots), bulbs (onion
family), leaf vegetables (spinach and lettuce), stem
vegetables (bamboo shoots and asparagus).
