New CEO Shelly Broader personally took me around a store pointing out all the cool new stuff. It was a fun cover story, although after it ran, we heard she hated the “Food Fight” cover line and the allusion to ‘Animal House.’ Oh, well! http://andelman.com/2013/02/food-fight-sweetbay-to-publix-see-if-you-can-guess-what-i-am-now/

]]> Comment on US: The health benefits of a grape rich diet by Rosendo Mathey http://theglobalfruit.com/blog/2012/12/06/us-the-health-benefits-of-a-grape-rich-diet/#comment-48743 Rosendo Mathey Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:44:41 +0000 http://theglobalfruit.com/?p=17225#comment-48743 The nutrient to use for the best prostate health diet is flaxseed oil. Flax seed oil contains more omega-3 than omega-6 and so it makes it a good source of omega-3. The more omega-6 use, from olive oil and other vegetables oils, the more prone you will be to prostate cancer. This is not the case with omega-3 oil and this has been verified through clinical studies.’

]]> Comment on AU: Potato import decision must be based on science by Mason Burrell http://theglobalfruit.com/blog/2013/01/10/au-potato-import-decision-must-be-based-on-science/#comment-38038 Mason Burrell Sat, 12 Jan 2013 10:16:29 +0000 http://theglobalfruit.com/?p=22748#comment-38038 I would have to totally agree with Terry Buckley that the delay to possible potato imports from New Zealand is a good thing. Zebra chip disease is terrible as it can be spread easily by flying insects called psyllids. The end result would be striped potatoes that taste like charcoal. This cannot be good for Australian potato farmers and exporters given that potato industry remains a large contributor for the horticultural sector of Australia’s economy. Australia is known to have very careful examination and tests for their food imports and I do hope this does not stop now.

]]> Comment on Mexican cargo to pass quicker through US ports of entry by Billy http://theglobalfruit.com/blog/2012/12/11/mexican-cargo-to-pass-quicker-through-us-ports-of-entry/#comment-26946 Billy Mon, 17 Dec 2012 20:38:04 +0000 http://theglobalfruit.com/?p=18293#comment-26946 Say there is a three hour line on the Mexican road leading to the port of entry. How would this proposal mean the truck “does not have to stop”? No matter where the cargo is inspected, the lack of inspectors at the ports of entry means there is a backup that no truck can avoid. Does the plan provide special lanes that no other border crossers can use?
