CHICAGO, Jan. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Three of every four American adults are eating dinner at home, but preparing it from scratch is now the choice of only one-in-three, and restaurant take-out has overtaken sit-down dining. This according to the latest issue of "Food Technology" magazine and its cover story -- "What, When, and Where America Eats," a compilation of the latest trend studies in U.S. food consumption.

And while restaurant take-out climbs in popularity, supermarket take-out is also a force. Forty-two percent of adults are purchasing supermarket take-out each month -- a 12 percent surge in the...
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Even a small interruption of the daily oil supply impacts our nation's economic engine, but a sustained disruption would alter every aspect of our lives -- from food costs and distribution to what or if we eat, to manufacturing goods and services to freedom of movement. A new CNA analysis finds if America reduces its current rate of oil consumption by 30 percent, and diversifies its fuel sources, the U.S. economy would be insulated from the impact of such disruptions- - even in the event of a complete shutdown of a strategic chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz, the international passageway for 33 percent of the world's seaborne oil shipments. Released at U.S. House and Senate briefings today, "Ensuring America's Freedom of Movement: A National S...

Or, it could be suggested, how far we've strayed, and how little we've managed to achieve in pursuit of free (or affordable), nutritious, safe and enjoyable food for the nation's schoolchildren. In Free for All: Fixing School Food in America (University of California Press, 368 pages), author Janet Poppendieck, a professor of sociology at Hunter College, City University of New York, walks readers through the machinations of the National School Lunch and Breakfast Progra...

That's figuring 350 slices per second, America's average pizza consumption, according to the Oracle Foundation's global Thinkquest project and a host of other online sources.

[...] this culinary collective or relationship of plurality in planning, preparing, and presenting meals reinforced the complex nature of food and the ways in which the quotidian language of cooking performs as a crucial mode of communicating identities. According to Durodoye and Coker, this is most likely due to the racial politics in the United States that views people of African descent as a monolithic group.2 Arguing against the myth of homogeneity among and between people of the African diaspora, this article recaptures experiences that took place during the first five to seven years of my relationship with my husband (who today not only cooks for himself but also for our family), in order to consider some of the complexities that inhere in the homes of those living together acros...
