By the end of 2018, chicken grown in a bioreactor–from cells, rather than an actual chicken–may be on the menu in some restaurants. A burger is coming by 2021. A new survey suggests that most Americans may be willing to eat it. In a recent survey of nearly 1,200 consumers, most said they hadn’t heard of “clean meat” (also known as cultured meat, in vitro meat, or lab-grown meat), which is grown from animal cells without raising animals, in a process similar to brewing beer.

I was never an enthusiastic carnivore — but Esther the Wonder Pig and her farm pals made me question my own morals

Farmers across the country are waiting for the ants to come. By Han Nguyen.

Last month, news broke that over 100 people in Iowa and Illinois had gotten sick due to a parasite found in McDonald’s salads. A week later, that number jumped to 163 sick individuals in 10 states, with three hospitalizations. Now, the number of people who have reported illness in response to the parasite continues to grow. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported an additional 105 cases -- bringing the total number to 395 affected individuals across 15 states. Sixteen people have been hospitalized. Patients in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Virginia bought their contaminated salads in Illinois while traveling.

Some people could be blaming the wrong element in wheat for their sore stomachs.

The rate of recurrent adenomas was not changed by dietary intervention. Our results are compatible with, at most, an absolute reduction related to the intervention of about 4 percent in the incidence of recurrent adenomas (Table 4). We also found no effect of the dietary intervention on the incidence of large or advanced recurrent lesions.

It's no secret that Facebook employees love their free meals. But this fall when the tech giant moves to its new office complex in Mountain View, California, that perk will no longer exist because of a new city rule. And San Francisco may follow.

Sustained high temperatures and a lack of rainfall have hit German farmers hard, including the country's important potato sector.

Having an early supper or leaving an interval of at least two hours before going to bed are both associated with a lower risk of breast and prostate cancer. Specifically, people who take their evening meal before 9 pm or wait at least two hours before going to sleep have an approximate 20% lower risk of those types of cancer compared to people who have supper after 10pm or those who eat and go to bed very close afterwards, respectively.

A dark day for NYC Instagrammers, indeed.

The regime was harsh, the system absurd but rules made up in Moscow were no match for the individualistic Poles. Magda Romanska’s delightful piece shows us how it was done. Elegantly, of course. (Apr. 22, 2012)

While just 1% of the UK is allergic to the proteins that cause coeliac disease, many others suffer with gluten-related digestive problems. Some researchers believe mass-produced food is to blame

We’re eating alone more often than in any previous generation. But why should a meal on our own be uninspired?

Smooth or hairy, pungent or tasteless, deep-hued or bright: new versions of old fruits could be hitting the produce aisles as plant experts embrace cutting-edge technology, scientists say. While researchers have previously produced plants with specific traits through traditional breeding techniques, experts say new technologies such as the gene-editing tool Crispr-Cas9 could be used to bring about changes far more rapidly and efficiently.

We got an inside look at the Tabasco factory in Avery Island, Louisiana and spoke with McIlhenny Executive Vice President Harold Osborn on how they make 700,000 bottles of the world-famous hot sauce are produced every day.

Sometimes, when you move from one country to another, things look, even taste, different. That was Ilya Kunes's experience when he moved back to the Czech Republic from France. Things definitely tasted different. Even the same famous brand of Italian spaghetti he had bought in France. That seemed odd. He checked. His Czech-bought spaghetti contained a far smaller percentage of expensive Durum wheat than the French variety.

Can the “ice cream of the future” become the cereal of the future?

I have commitment issues -- with my diet. Name the diet, and I've tried it. I'm currently a pescatarian with fish as my main protein source. But I've been a carnivore, vegetarian and vegan, too. Oh, and I dabble in "menu of the future" items such as algae and bugs. In the last month, I've had algae smoothies, algae protein bars and algae chips. It's not because I'm a particularly adventurous eater or that I love the taste. I actually loathe the mossy flavor of algae.

Dr. Robert H. Lustig explains that the real culprit is our high sugar processed food,and this has to change.

Cheese lovers, rejoice. There's new evidence that the saturated fat found in cheese, milk, and other kinds of dairy is not tied to an increased risk of heart problems or death from any cause. The study is the latest in a series of papers that question the idea that eating fat is unhealthy.
