In a world that just won’t quit, there’s something wonderfully reassuring about knowing there’s a store that’s got your back when health serves up an unexpected curve. The unglamorous medical supplies store may lack the flash of a boutique or the hum of a coffee bar, but it’s where everyday heroes go shopping. Whether it’s a mom grabbing a nebulizer for a wheezing child, a nurse replenishing scrubs and PPE, or a caregiver locating the proper walker for a family member pharmacies are the lifeline individuals didn’t realize they needed until they absolutely did.

That’s the thing about health: it …

Have they not been meeting your deadlines? With ChefMod, you won’t be dealing with such issues as they will have been taken care of.

Taco Bell is ready to go cage-free by 2016, and McDonald’s lags behind with plans for 2025.

Taco Bell’s parent company, Yum! Brands, was the last major company to decide on the switch, but it may become the first to actually implement it: They announced in November that 6,000  Taco Bell locations in U.S. will be switching to eggs produced by cage-free chickens by the the end of 2016.

Finally, a lucky break for those of us who love to eat healthy and organic, but who are too lazy to fry our own chicken.

According to Fox News, the first fast food establishment to serve exclusively USDA-certified organic food opened  two weeks ago in San Francisco. They have a small menu—mostly fried chicken, in either a bowl, a sandwich, or a wrap—and are a bit pricey (8.99 USD for a main course), but this is basically expected considering the relatively small supply of certified organic products compared to their non-organic counterparts. Smaller supply means higher prices.

In Michael Pollan’s Six Rules for Eating Wisely, warned against consuming foods that our great-great-great grandmothers wouldn’t identify. Well, this is easier said than done.

While a 2015 Nielsen survey shows that a large number of Americans want fresh, natural, and modestly processed foods, Azodicarbonamide (yoga mat chemicals) has been discovered in almost 500 food products. Yet, the trend is changing as fast food chains, fast casual restaurants and even multinationals are responding to pressure from consumers, especially from Millennial demanding food made without artificial ingredients.…

According to a recent study made on organic and non-organic foods in Germany, it was revealed that consumers are more interested in knowing whether foods are locally sourced or not than knowing whether foods have organic source or not.

The study, published in Appetite, explained the differences in consumers’ behavior and willingness-to-pay (WTP) values between consumers who prefer organic production of food to locally processed foods and those who consider it the other way round. The research further exposed that organic-minded consumers have a stronger preference and estimated WTP for both local and organic processed foods.…

78% of all the organic food sales come from just 10 U.S. states, so if you want to significantly reduce the amount of time and distance it takes for your food to go from the farm to your fork, consider moving to one of these states.

California takes the cake and has 41% of the total organic sales nationwide, coming in at $2.2 billion in sales last year. Washington State came in the second position with just $515 million in sales. Then comes Pennsylvania, Oregon, Wisconsin, Texas, New York, Colorado, Michigan, and Iowa.…
