"content": "\u003cp>The world’s largest beef manufacturer is in trouble. \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-17/brazil-meat-producers-jbs-brf-probed-in-alleged-bribery-scheme\">Reports have emerged\u003c/a> that employees in over a dozen plants knowingly packed rancid meat, covering up the smell with acid, slabs of which were then sold on to schools and Walmart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this happened not in the U.S., though, but in Brazil, headquarters to meatpacking giant JBS. Named for its founder, Jose Batista Sobrinho, the company turns over almost as much as the next three largest U.S. beef producers—Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef—combined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Egypt has already banned Brazilian beef, and U.S. Senator John Tester (D-Montana) recently introduced legislation to prevent Brazilian beef from entering into the country, even as JBS \u003ca href=\"http://agnetwest.com/2017/03/27/jbs-suspends-brazil-product-meat-scandal/\">suspended meat production\u003c/a> at 33 of its 36 Brazilian meatpacking plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But choosing “America First” for your steak misses two far larger points. The Brazilian giant is simply striving \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-09-19/brazilian-meatpacker-jbs-wrangles-the-u-dot-s-dot-beef-industry\">to adopt ideas from, and buy out companies\u003c/a> in, the U.S. meat industry. \u003ca href=\"http://jbssa.com/about/history/\">Pilgrim’s, Cargill’s pork business and Smithfield’s beef operation\u003c/a> have been acquired by what Bloomberg once called \u003ca href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/3086336-jbs-corporation-getting-to-know-one-of-the-largest-food-companies-in-the-world\">the world’s second largest packaged food company\u003c/a> (behind Nestlé).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if you could stop the import of dodgy sausage, you still couldn’t avoid the bigger planetary impact of the beef industry, because it’s airborne. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), meat and dairy production alone now generates \u003ca href=\"http://www.fao.org/Newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html\">more greenhouse gas emissions\u003c/a> than all the world’s transport combined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by industrial livestock occur indirectly, through the production of grains to feed to animals that then get fed to humans. In 2010, about one-third of all cereals on Earth went to animal feed, and the FAO predicts this figure will reach \u003ca href=\"http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/reports/report-10-elaboration-process/en/\">50 percent\u003c/a> by 2050. More feed means more land under cultivation. And feed crops like soybean, maize, and sorghum are usually grown with chemical fertilizers, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v1/n10/pdf/ngeo325.pdf\">themselves another potent source of greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, consumption is soaring, made possible by widespread marketing and producing meat that’s cheap to buy—even if those low prices are made possible through dangerous and poorly paid jobs, lax environmental practices, corporate subsidies, and dreadful living conditions for animals. If current trends continue, the FAO predicts world meat consumption will grow a further 76 percent by 2050. If, on the other hand, people kept their level of meat consumption to the World Health Organization’s recommended guidelines, the world could reduce \u003ca href=\"http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/isee/2016-o-035-3305/\">40 percent\u003c/a> of all current greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, this advice hasn’t been well received by the meat, fertilizer, pesticide, and processing industries. Industrial meat concerns \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/sep/22/food-firms-lobbying-samuel-jutzi\">blasted the FAO\u003c/a> after they put out a report in 2006 on the role of livestock in the climate crisis. “You wouldn’t believe how much we were attacked,” said Samuel Jutzi, director of the animal production and health division this UN agency. The FAO soon buckled under the pressure and agreed to establish a \u003ca href=\"https://bittman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/11/fao-yields-to-meat-industry-pressure-on-climate-change/?_r=0\">partnership\u003c/a> with the meat industry’s main lobby groups and shifted the focus of its work accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canadian academic \u003ca href=\"http://ecologicalhoofprint.org/\">Tony Weis\u003c/a> has a term for what’s happening here: the world’s diet, food system, and food policy are being “meatified.” The corporations doing it are increasingly based in the global South, where most of the world’s future industrial meat eaters live, and those firms are doing roaring business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.grain.org/article/entries/5639-grabbing-the-bull-by-the-horns-it-s-time-to-cut-industrial-meat-and-dairy-to-save-the-climate\">recent report by GRAIN shows\u003c/a> that JBS is also the world’s largest poultry producer. The world’s largest pork producer is the Chinese WH Group, and France’s Lactalis Group is the world’s largest dairy producer. These firms, together with more-established U.S. and European ones, work hard to increase their control over the market: They blunt domestic government attempts to regulate them, they spur demand across the world, and they destroy the livestock practices of small-scale farmers in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Propping Up the Meat Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Germany drafted guidelines to reduce meat consumption, demonstrating that a 50 percent cut by 2030 would be “crucial to climate protection,” the industry lobbied. Hard. By the November 2016 launch date, the country’s climate change plan \u003ca href=\"https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-trimmed-down-climate-action-plan\">had been gutted\u003c/a>, and stripped of any reference at all to greenhouse gases in the agriculture sector. Similar stories can be told of U.S. efforts and those, predictably, in Brazil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite industry opposition to certain kinds of regulation, they’re very happy to suck at the teat of government subsidy. In 2013, OECD countries \u003ca href=\"https://www.chathamhouse.org/publication/livestock-climate-change-forgotten-sector-global-public-opinion-meat-and-dairy\">dished out\u003c/a> $53 billion to livestock producers, with the EU paying $731 million to its cattle industry alone The same year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcrm.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/Who's-Making-Money-from-Overweight-Kids.pdf\">paid more than $500 million to just 62 producers\u003c/a> (starting with Tyson Foods) in order to get meat and dairy on school meal trays, compared to just a fraction of that to fruit and vegetable suppliers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the big guns in the industry’s arsenal are “free trade” agreements.

Named for its founder, Jose Batista Sobrinho, the company turns over almost as much as the next three largest U.S. beef producers—Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef—combined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Egypt has already banned Brazilian beef, and U.S. Senator John Tester (D-Montana) recently introduced legislation to prevent Brazilian beef from entering into the country, even as JBS \u003ca href=\"http://agnetwest.com/2017/03/27/jbs-suspends-brazil-product-meat-scandal/\">suspended meat production\u003c/a> at 33 of its 36 Brazilian meatpacking plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But choosing “America First” for your steak misses two far larger points. The Brazilian giant is simply striving \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-09-19/brazilian-meatpacker-jbs-wrangles-the-u-dot-s-dot-beef-industry\">to adopt ideas from, and buy out companies\u003c/a> in, the U.S. meat industry. \u003ca href=\"http://jbssa.com/about/history/\">Pilgrim’s, Cargill’s pork business and Smithfield’s beef operation\u003c/a> have been acquired by what Bloomberg once called \u003ca href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/3086336-jbs-corporation-getting-to-know-one-of-the-largest-food-companies-in-the-world\">the world’s second largest packaged food company\u003c/a> (behind Nestlé).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if you could stop the import of dodgy sausage, you still couldn’t avoid the bigger planetary impact of the beef industry, because it’s airborne. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), meat and dairy production alone now generates \u003ca href=\"http://www.fao.org/Newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html\">more greenhouse gas emissions\u003c/a> than all the world’s transport combined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 2010, about one-third of all cereals on Earth went to animal feed, and the FAO predicts this figure will reach \u003ca href=\"http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/reports/report-10-elaboration-process/en/\">50 percent\u003c/a> by 2050. More feed means more land under cultivation. And feed crops like soybean, maize, and sorghum are usually grown with chemical fertilizers, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v1/n10/pdf/ngeo325.pdf\">themselves another potent source of greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, consumption is soaring, made possible by widespread marketing and producing meat that’s cheap to buy—even if those low prices are made possible through dangerous and poorly paid jobs, lax environmental practices, corporate subsidies, and dreadful living conditions for animals. If current trends continue, the FAO predicts world meat consumption will grow a further 76 percent by 2050. If, on the other hand, people kept their level of meat consumption to the World Health Organization’s recommended guidelines, the world could reduce \u003ca href=\"http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/isee/2016-o-035-3305/\">40 percent\u003c/a> of all current greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, this advice hasn’t been well received by the meat, fertilizer, pesticide, and processing industries. Industrial meat concerns \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/sep/22/food-firms-lobbying-samuel-jutzi\">blasted the FAO\u003c/a> after they put out a report in 2006 on the role of livestock in the climate crisis. “You wouldn’t believe how much we were attacked,” said Samuel Jutzi, director of the animal production and health division this UN agency. The FAO soon buckled under the pressure and agreed to establish a \u003ca href=\"https://bittman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/11/fao-yields-to-meat-industry-pressure-on-climate-change/?_r=0\">partnership\u003c/a> with the meat industry’s main lobby groups and shifted the focus of its work accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canadian academic \u003ca href=\"http://ecologicalhoofprint.org/\">Tony Weis\u003c/a> has a term for what’s happening here: the world’s diet, food system, and food policy are being “meatified.” The corporations doing it are increasingly based in the global South, where most of the world’s future industrial meat eaters live, and those firms are doing roaring business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.grain.org/article/entries/5639-grabbing-the-bull-by-the-horns-it-s-time-to-cut-industrial-meat-and-dairy-to-save-the-climate\">recent report by GRAIN shows\u003c/a> that JBS is also the world’s largest poultry producer. The world’s largest pork producer is the Chinese WH Group, and France’s Lactalis Group is the world’s largest dairy producer. These firms, together with more-established U.S. and European ones, work hard to increase their control over the market: They blunt domestic government attempts to regulate them, they spur demand across the world, and they destroy the livestock practices of small-scale farmers in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Propping Up the Meat Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Germany drafted guidelines to reduce meat consumption, demonstrating that a 50 percent cut by 2030 would be “crucial to climate protection,” the industry lobbied. Hard. By the November 2016 launch date, the country’s climate change plan \u003ca href=\"https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-trimmed-down-climate-action-plan\">had been gutted\u003c/a>, and stripped of any reference at all to greenhouse gases in the agriculture sector. Similar stories can be told of U.S. efforts and those, predictably, in Brazil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite industry opposition to certain kinds of regulation, they’re very happy to suck at the teat of government subsidy. In 2013, OECD countries \u003ca href=\"https://www.chathamhouse.org/publication/livestock-climate-change-forgotten-sector-global-public-opinion-meat-and-dairy\">dished out\u003c/a> $53 billion to livestock producers, with the EU paying $731 million to its cattle industry alone The same year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcrm.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/Who's-Making-Money-from-Overweight-Kids.pdf\">paid more than $500 million to just 62 producers\u003c/a> (starting with Tyson Foods) in order to get meat and dairy on school meal trays, compared to just a fraction of that to fruit and vegetable suppliers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the big guns in the industry’s arsenal are “free trade” agreements. These trade deals \u003ca href=\"https://www.grain.org/e/5639\">artificially prop up production and consumption\u003c/a> by promoting the dumping of cheap meat and dairy into poor countries’ economies. They include clauses that eliminate protections for local farmers from foreign competitors. They also make it illegal to grant preference to local suppliers or products and they make government regulations subject to investor-state dispute settlement under which a foreign company can sue governments that adopt social or environmental legislation that they think undermines their profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116472\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2.jpg\" alt=\"Contrasting the broader carbon footprint of factory farm animals vs animals from small-scale, mixed farms using a systems lens.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"808\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116472\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-768x517.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-1180x795.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-960x646.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-240x162.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-375x253.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/170329-meat-2-520x350.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Contrasting the broader carbon footprint of factory farm animals vs animals from small-scale, mixed farms using a systems lens.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Not all meat production is the same, of course.

Some families are even canceling their food stamps and other government benefits, for fear that receiving them will affect their immigration status or lead to deportation. Many of the concerns appear to be unfounded but have been fueled by the Trump administration's tough stance on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at Manna Food Center in Montgomery County, Md., report that about 20 percent of the 561 families they have helped apply for food stamps, or SNAP benefits, in the past few months have asked that their cases be closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria Chavez, an outreach worker for Manna, says her immigrant clients are scared, especially if they're unauthorized parents getting SNAP benefits for their eligible American children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They say, 'I want to close my food stamp.' And I say, 'Why you want to close it?' They say, 'Well, because I am afraid that something [will] happen to me or they [will] deport me,' \" says Chavez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Wengler, director of benefits access at Hunger Free New York City, says fewer immigrants have also been showing up recently at the 20 sites his group serves around the city. And he says some noncitizens — even those in the country legally — want all of their government benefits canceled, including Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Which is really frightening because these are families that are often working minimum-wage jobs, trying to raise children, trying to do the right thing, and with the help of these benefits are getting by. But without them, [they] will be in a really desperate situation,\" Wengler says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofits around the country say they're seeing similar declines, although there are no hard numbers to back up the claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the concerns seem to be twofold. Unauthorized immigrants, who can't get benefits themselves, are worried about getting deported if they receive benefits for their children. And lawful permanent residents are worried that receiving government aid — which they generally have to wait five years to do — will jeopardize their chances of becoming citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116417\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 812px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM.png\" alt=\"SNAP Recipients In 2015, By Citizenship\" width=\"812\" height=\"411\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116417\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM.png 812w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM-160x81.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM-800x405.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM-768x389.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM-240x121.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM-375x190.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/Screen-shot-2017-03-28-at-4.48.16-PM-520x263.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">SNAP Recipients In 2015, By Citizenship \u003ccite>(Source: \u003ca href=\"https://fns-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/ops/Characteristics2015.pdf\">Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program\u003c/a> (PDF))\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There's no evidence either of these things will happen, but rumors have been flying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's so much misinformation that it's creating a lot of anxiety among all immigrants right now,\" says Matthew Lopas, an attorney with the National Immigration Law Center, which is trying to allay people's fears. \"Nothing in the law has changed as of now, and there's certainly no danger at this point in using programs for which a person is eligible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, President Trump has made clear that he would like to restrict both illegal and legal immigration. In an address to Congress last month, he said that the nation's current immigration system is a drain on American taxpayers and that the country should be more selective about whom it lets in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a basic principle that those seeking to enter a country ought to be able to support themselves financially. Yet, in America we do not enforce this rule, straining the very public resources that our poorest citizens rely upon,\" Trump told Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many economists disagree that's the case, but there are those within the administration who are concerned about immigrants' use of government aid. In January, a draft White House executive order was leaked that proposes new limits on the use of public benefits by those seeking citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order hasn't been signed, and it might never be signed. But Marco Liu, director of advocacy and outreach for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, says the draft order and stepped-up immigration enforcement make it difficult to convince noncitizens that they should continue to apply for the benefits they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the sensitive and tricky part, because honestly, if I were in their shoes, I might be just as apprehensive,\" says Liu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One additional note. We tried repeatedly to find immigrants willing to talk to us for the story, even without using their names. But we were unable to do so, which is highly unusual. Liu says people are so worried, they don't want to take any risks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Unauthorized immigrants, who can't get benefits themselves, are worried about getting deported if they receive benefits for their children.

In an address to Congress last month, he said that the nation's current immigration system is a drain on American taxpayers and that the country should be more selective about whom it lets in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a basic principle that those seeking to enter a country ought to be able to support themselves financially. Yet, in America we do not enforce this rule, straining the very public resources that our poorest citizens rely upon,\" Trump told Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many economists disagree that's the case, but there are those within the administration who are concerned about immigrants' use of government aid. In January, a draft White House executive order was leaked that proposes new limits on the use of public benefits by those seeking citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order hasn't been signed, and it might never be signed. But Marco Liu, director of advocacy and outreach for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, says the draft order and stepped-up immigration enforcement make it difficult to convince noncitizens that they should continue to apply for the benefits they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the sensitive and tricky part, because honestly, if I were in their shoes, I might be just as apprehensive,\" says Liu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One additional note. We tried repeatedly to find immigrants willing to talk to us for the story, even without using their names. But we were unable to do so, which is highly unusual. Liu says people are so worried, they don't want to take any risks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It’s not just about people buying most of of their produce from the farmers' market. For the food system to become more equitable as a whole, she said, people have to collaborate with other social justice movements, like Black Lives Matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our food system is reliant on people of color and immigrants,” Rangel-Medina said, adding that any food movement needs to be relevant for everyone, from restaurant workers to the people who pick our food. She mentioned the uncomfortable dichotomy that anyone who’s dined out in the Bay Area has observed. Why are Latino workers consistently working in back of the house positions, while the the bulk of front of house workers--who generally make more money, and serve as the face of the resturaunt--white? Yes, it’s awkward for well-intentioned Bay Area liberals to discuss these kinds of inequities. Yet, it’s vital, Rangel-Medina said. “If we don’t do this hard work we end up with Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116292\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-116292\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256.jpg\" alt=\"Panelist Evelyn Rangel-Medina, from Restaurant Opportunities Centers United.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-160x111.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-800x555.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-768x533.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-1180x819.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-960x666.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-240x167.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-375x260.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-520x361.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panelist Evelyn Rangel-Medina, from Restaurant Opportunities Centers United. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The fear and uncertainty that Trump’s presidency has created isn’t anything new, she added. “People of color have already been living in a Trump-like America.” Rangel-Medina pointed out that California, bastion of progressiveness and leader of the Trump resistance, is also the state that passed \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_187\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 187\u003c/a> in 1994, which denied undocumented Californians access to health care and education. We can’t rest on our laurels, confident that things will sort themselves out, believing that the Bay Area is somehow immune to Trump’s agenda, she said. We have to work hard to create a different future. “If we can create a demand for organic food, we can also demand racial equity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment--in order to create change, people have to get out of their comfort zones--was echoed by the panelists. Moore mentioned her conservative Uncle Tom (yes, his real name) and the need for “Conversations across the aisle. We need to be collaborative.” Carmona-Cruz echoed her sentiments. “We as citizens need to put our bodies on the line for the first time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116288\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-116288\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185.jpg\" alt=\"Panelist Amelia Moore, from the Union of Concerned Scientists.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1382\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-160x115.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-800x576.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-768x553.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-1020x734.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-1180x849.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-960x691.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-240x173.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-375x270.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2185-520x374.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panelist Amelia Moore, from the Union of Concerned Scientists. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Intention is no longer enough,” Satterfield said.

Why are Latino workers consistently working in back of the house positions, while the the bulk of front of house workers--who generally make more money, and serve as the face of the resturaunt--white?

We can’t rest on our laurels, confident that things will sort themselves out, believing that the Bay Area is somehow immune to Trump’s agenda, she said. We have to work hard to create a different future. “If we can create a demand for organic food, we can also demand racial equity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment--in order to create change, people have to get out of their comfort zones--was echoed by the panelists.

"content": "\u003cp>For the last 20 years, Americans have been having a conversation about sustainable seafood that was largely focused on fish purchased at restaurants or fresh seafood counters. Armed with seafood guides, thoughtful customers were encouraged to pose questions about where their fish was caught and what type of gear was used — questions that are far trickier to pose in front of a wall of canned tuna in the middle of a supermarket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While\u003ca href=\"http://www.nrn.com/seafood-trends/poke-sweeps-nation\"> tuna poke\u003c/a> may be winning over American palates today, our consumption of fresh tuna is still dwarfed by our collective appetite for the canned stuff. According to the National Fisheries Institute, Americans ate more than 700 million pounds of canned tuna in 2015. That's 2.2 pounds per person, enough to keep it firmly among the top three seafood items Americans consume, a ranking held for more\u003ca href=\"http://www.aboutseafood.com/about/top-ten-list-for-seafood-consumption/\"> than a decade\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the sustainability conversations we tend to have over farmed vs. wild salmon — or on issues like bycatch, mangrove destruction or human slavery that swirl around shrimp — the hand-wringing over canned tuna has largely been focused on contaminants like mercury, rather than fishing methods or the health of fish stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of retailers are about to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Wednesday Whole Foods Market announced that by January 2018, all canned tuna sold in its stores or used in its prepared foods departments will be sourced from fisheries that use only pole-and-line, troll or handline catch methods that eliminate bycatch (accidental harvest of other fish, birds or mammals) because fishermen are catching tuna one at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new Whole Foods' policy also requires canned tuna products to come from fisheries that are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or are sourced from fisheries rated green (best choice) or yellow (good alternative) by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and The Safina Center. And Whole Foods has included a traceability requirement as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a lot of points in the supply chain where tuna changes hands. We want to map it from catch to can. That's critical,\" says Carrie Brownstein, global seafood quality standards coordinator for Whole Foods Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new requirements coincide with many of the new compliance rules designed to improve traceability of imported seafood in NOAA's\u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/09/2016-29324/magnuson-stevens-fishery-conservation-and-management-act-seafood-import-monitoring-program\"> Seafood Import Monitoring Program\u003c/a>, which also goes into effect in January 2018. Like the vast majority of seafood in the U.S., much of the canned tuna we eat\u003ca href=\"https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/Assets/commercial/fus/fus15/documents/FUS2015.pdf\"> is imported\u003c/a> from overseas, with Thailand, Ecuador, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia topping the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brands like American Tuna, Wild Planet, Pole and Line, Henry and Lisa's and the in-house 365 Everyday Value brand are already sold by Whole Foods, and should fare well under the store's new rules, but they aren't found in every supermarket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also rethinking the tuna aisle is Hy-Vee, a 240-store grocery chain found in the Midwest. Once the chain met its sustainable seafood goals for its fresh and frozen seafood departments, Brett Bremser, executive vice president of perishables, says the company was ready to get its private canned tuna label up to spec as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late January, Hy-Vee announced its\u003ca href=\"https://www.hy-vee.com/company/press-room/press-releases/hy-vee-paves-way-in-sustainable-seafood-with-new-shelf-stable-tuna-policy.aspx\"> new canned tuna policy\u003c/a>, citing concerns over high levels of bycatch in fisheries that use fish-aggregating devices, also known as FADs, used by some of the larger canned tuna companies\u003ca href=\"http://www.bumblebee.com/tracemycatch/results#method\"> like Bumble Bee Foods\u003c/a> to catch skipjack tuna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a huge issue of bycatch with those,\" says Ryan Bigelow, program engagement manager with Seafood Watch. \"FADs can be anything from a bamboo raft in the ocean to a large platform. You wait for the little fish to congregate under it, and then other fish come, and soon, you have all sorts of animals swarming around the platform. A purse seine is used to surround it, and it all goes into the net\" — including animals like dolphins, sea birds, rays, juvenile tuna and other non-targeted fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Whole Foods, Hy-Vee will be sourcing canned tuna that is certified by the MSC, or is harvested from fisheries that are rated green or yellow by the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program. However, Hy-Vee is not yet incorporating these standards into its prepared foods department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle\u003ca href=\"http://www.csnews.com/node/88244?nopaging=1\"> announced\u003c/a> its own \"ethical canned tuna policy\" — pledging to source tuna from well-managed stocks for its store brand — last year. And back in 2012, Safeway led the way, committing to source its\u003ca href=\"https://www.sustainablefoodnews.com/printstory.php?news_id=15260\"> private label skipjack\u003c/a> canned tuna from FAD-free fisheries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Mullen-Ley, a project director with\u003ca href=\"https://www.fishwise.org/\"> FishWise\u003c/a>, a nonprofit sustainable seafood consultancy that helped Hy-Vee develop its canned tuna policy, says she expects more retailers to follow suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the past, the canned fish aisle was not associated with a retailer's brand in nearly the same way as fresh and frozen seafood,\" she says in an email to NPR. \"It's not intuitive for people to associate a small gray can of tuna back with the ocean.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most canned tuna products sold by retailers don't have their name on it. Brands like Chicken of the Sea, Starkist and Bumble Bee dominate the market, so there was less incentive for retailers to focus their attention here, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hy-Vee's Bremser says the segment is ripe for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The manufacturers have to understand it's important to us and to our customers. As more stores like Hy-Vee, Whole Foods and Giant Eagle take strong positions on canned tuna, the major label suppliers will have to step up as well,\" says Bremser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry does seem to be moving in that direction. In 2015, Bumble Bee launched its\u003ca href=\"http://www.bumblebee.com/tracemycatch/\"> Trace My Catch\u003c/a> program, where consumers can type in a code found on their can of tuna to get more information on the species and gear used. But David Pinsky, senior oceans campaigner for Greenpeace, which developed its own\u003ca href=\"http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/oceans/tuna-guide/\"> tuna shopping guide\u003c/a>, says it doesn't go far enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It gives the consumer the impression that Bumble Bee is sourcing sustainable seafood, but it lacks information on the impacts on species. FADS and long lines have significant impacts on juvenile tuna, sharks, rays and seabirds. That's not mentioned in the traceability,\" he says. \"And there's no mention of human rights concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bigelow of Seafood Watch says what's important to understand is that just because canned tuna looks the same, doesn't mean it is. And he says there are a few key phrases consumers should look for on can labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dolphin-safe isn't enough anymore,\" he says. \"Look for pole and line caught, labels that say FAD free, and some kind of certification is usually a helpful guide. Those are the big ones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.leschin-hoar.com/\">Clare Leschin-Hoar\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a journalist based in San Diego who covers food policy and sustainability issues.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Armed with seafood guides, thoughtful customers were encouraged to pose questions about where their fish was caught and what type of gear was used — questions that are far trickier to pose in front of a wall of canned tuna in the middle of a supermarket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While\u003ca href=\"http://www.nrn.com/seafood-trends/poke-sweeps-nation\"> tuna poke\u003c/a> may be winning over American palates today, our consumption of fresh tuna is still dwarfed by our collective appetite for the canned stuff. According to the National Fisheries Institute, Americans ate more than 700 million pounds of canned tuna in 2015. That's 2.2 pounds per person, enough to keep it firmly among the top three seafood items Americans consume, a ranking held for more\u003ca href=\"http://www.aboutseafood.com/about/top-ten-list-for-seafood-consumption/\"> than a decade\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the sustainability conversations we tend to have over farmed vs. wild salmon — or on issues like bycatch, mangrove destruction or human slavery that swirl around shrimp — the hand-wringing over canned tuna has largely been focused on contaminants like mercury, rather than fishing methods or the health of fish stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of retailers are about to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Wednesday Whole Foods Market announced that by January 2018, all canned tuna sold in its stores or used in its prepared foods departments will be sourced from fisheries that use only pole-and-line, troll or handline catch methods that eliminate bycatch (accidental harvest of other fish, birds or mammals) because fishermen are catching tuna one at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And Whole Foods has included a traceability requirement as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a lot of points in the supply chain where tuna changes hands. We want to map it from catch to can. That's critical,\" says Carrie Brownstein, global seafood quality standards coordinator for Whole Foods Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new requirements coincide with many of the new compliance rules designed to improve traceability of imported seafood in NOAA's\u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/09/2016-29324/magnuson-stevens-fishery-conservation-and-management-act-seafood-import-monitoring-program\"> Seafood Import Monitoring Program\u003c/a>, which also goes into effect in January 2018. Like the vast majority of seafood in the U.S., much of the canned tuna we eat\u003ca href=\"https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/Assets/commercial/fus/fus15/documents/FUS2015.pdf\"> is imported\u003c/a> from overseas, with Thailand, Ecuador, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia topping the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brands like American Tuna, Wild Planet, Pole and Line, Henry and Lisa's and the in-house 365 Everyday Value brand are already sold by Whole Foods, and should fare well under the store's new rules, but they aren't found in every supermarket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also rethinking the tuna aisle is Hy-Vee, a 240-store grocery chain found in the Midwest. Once the chain met its sustainable seafood goals for its fresh and frozen seafood departments, Brett Bremser, executive vice president of perishables, says the company was ready to get its private canned tuna label up to spec as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late January, Hy-Vee announced its\u003ca href=\"https://www.hy-vee.com/company/press-room/press-releases/hy-vee-paves-way-in-sustainable-seafood-with-new-shelf-stable-tuna-policy.aspx\"> new canned tuna policy\u003c/a>, citing concerns over high levels of bycatch in fisheries that use fish-aggregating devices, also known as FADs, used by some of the larger canned tuna companies\u003ca href=\"http://www.bumblebee.com/tracemycatch/results#method\"> like Bumble Bee Foods\u003c/a> to catch skipjack tuna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a huge issue of bycatch with those,\" says Ryan Bigelow, program engagement manager with Seafood Watch. \"FADs can be anything from a bamboo raft in the ocean to a large platform. You wait for the little fish to congregate under it, and then other fish come, and soon, you have all sorts of animals swarming around the platform. A purse seine is used to surround it, and it all goes into the net\" — including animals like dolphins, sea birds, rays, juvenile tuna and other non-targeted fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Whole Foods, Hy-Vee will be sourcing canned tuna that is certified by the MSC, or is harvested from fisheries that are rated green or yellow by the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program. However, Hy-Vee is not yet incorporating these standards into its prepared foods department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle\u003ca href=\"http://www.csnews.com/node/88244?nopaging=1\"> announced\u003c/a> its own \"ethical canned tuna policy\" — pledging to source tuna from well-managed stocks for its store brand — last year. And back in 2012, Safeway led the way, committing to source its\u003ca href=\"https://www.sustainablefoodnews.com/printstory.php?news_id=15260\"> private label skipjack\u003c/a> canned tuna from FAD-free fisheries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Mullen-Ley, a project director with\u003ca href=\"https://www.fishwise.org/\"> FishWise\u003c/a>, a nonprofit sustainable seafood consultancy that helped Hy-Vee develop its canned tuna policy, says she expects more retailers to follow suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the past, the canned fish aisle was not associated with a retailer's brand in nearly the same way as fresh and frozen seafood,\" she says in an email to NPR. \"It's not intuitive for people to associate a small gray can of tuna back with the ocean.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most canned tuna products sold by retailers don't have their name on it. Brands like Chicken of the Sea, Starkist and Bumble Bee dominate the market, so there was less incentive for retailers to focus their attention here, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hy-Vee's Bremser says the segment is ripe for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The manufacturers have to understand it's important to us and to our customers. As more stores like Hy-Vee, Whole Foods and Giant Eagle take strong positions on canned tuna, the major label suppliers will have to step up as well,\" says Bremser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry does seem to be moving in that direction. In 2015, Bumble Bee launched its\u003ca href=\"http://www.bumblebee.com/tracemycatch/\"> Trace My Catch\u003c/a> program, where consumers can type in a code found on their can of tuna to get more information on the species and gear used. But David Pinsky, senior oceans campaigner for Greenpeace, which developed its own\u003ca href=\"http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/oceans/tuna-guide/\"> tuna shopping guide\u003c/a>, says it doesn't go far enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It gives the consumer the impression that Bumble Bee is sourcing sustainable seafood, but it lacks information on the impacts on species. FADS and long lines have significant impacts on juvenile tuna, sharks, rays and seabirds. That's not mentioned in the traceability,\" he says. \"And there's no mention of human rights concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bigelow of Seafood Watch says what's important to understand is that just because canned tuna looks the same, doesn't mean it is. And he says there are a few key phrases consumers should look for on can labels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dolphin-safe isn't enough anymore,\" he says. \"Look for pole and line caught, labels that say FAD free, and some kind of certification is usually a helpful guide. Those are the big ones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.leschin-hoar.com/\">Clare Leschin-Hoar\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a journalist based in San Diego who covers food policy and sustainability issues.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Of all the Afghan traditions that her family has maintained, for her, Nowruz is the most poignant, in part because it had been banned. It also reminds her of her childhood in a cosmopolitan Kabul that no longer exists. \"My first English word was 'hippie,' \" she says as an example, referring to the so-called Hippie Trail on which Afghanistan was a popular stop in the '60s and '70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, her family comes together at her aunt's home in Manhattan to celebrate, cooking traditional Afghan meals such as the popular \u003cem>qabuli pilau,\u003c/em> a rice dish mixed with caramelized raisins and carrots, and \u003cem>haft-mewa\u003c/em>, the sweet Nowruz dessert made with seven symbolic dried fruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Northern Virginia, a large Nowruz celebration took place this weekend in Manassas, with nearly 80 families in attendance. Just as it would be back home, the hall was split — with one side for men and another for women — with a catered buffet of traditional Afghan foods and a band playing Afghan music. In the weeks to come, neighbors and new friends will pay each other visits at home, in lieu of the extended family visits that they would make back in Afghanistan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mohammad Shafiq, a former senior media adviser to NATO who arrived in the U.S. three years ago under the Special Immigrant Visa program (a special program for Afghans and Iraqis who worked closely with the American government or military), Nowruz is ultimately about community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For Nowruz, we cook more food than usual ... so that if someone comes, we should always be prepared,\" Shafiq says. And considering that his apartment building alone is home to 24 Afghan families, there will be many such visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago also hosted the first part of its Nowruz celebrations this weekend in a local hotel; the second will take place, as per Nowruz tradition, approximately 13 days later at an outdoor picnic. In the warmer months in Afghanistan, picnics are the social events of the season, with the Nowruz picnic serving as the unofficial kickoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Samiye Rajabi, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee, was one of the attendees in Chicago. She arrived in the Windy City by herself in January 2016, as the rest of her family members awaited the finalization of their refugee processing in Turkey, where they had already spent eight years in limbo. While she appreciated Chicago's Afghan community coming together, she had looked forward to a reunion, and a homier celebration, with her family this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was especially homesick for \u003cem>samanak,\u003c/em> a special Nowruz sweet paste made of wheat flour; she remembered her mother and aunts spending all night preparing it in the lead-up to Nowruz. Since it was a difficult task requiring a lot of strength, she had never taken part. This year, she thought she might.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that was before President Trump put a 120-day moratorium on the processing of all refugees. Rajabi believes that her family was at the very end of its processing, but now, she has four more months to go before a possible reunion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preserving the food traditions of the Persian New Year takes on an even deeper significance for those who do not have extended Afghan communities to celebrate with. Sabira Ebaady, who refers to herself as \"one of two Afghans in the state of Louisiana\" (the other is her younger sister), spent many of her 10 Nowruzes in the United States alone before her sister joined her in New Orleans last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their planning for Nowruz began weeks ago, when they let lentils take sprout, a tradition that serves as a physical representation of the process of rebirth. Her lentil sprouts will be the centerpiece of her \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/20/471174857/nowruz-persian-new-years-table-celebrates-spring-deliciously\">Nowruz table, or haftseen\u003c/a>, one of seven items meant to symbolize renewal. The day before the big feast, she will cook many dishes, including \u003cem>sebzah,\u003c/em> a rice dish with green vegetables, which symbolize wealth and health, and the \u003cem>haft mewa\u003c/em> (seven fruits) dessert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, she will head outdoors to enjoy an Afghan-style picnic. It'll be less elaborate than the ones that she remembers from her childhood in Ghazni and among the refugee community in Pakistan. And rather than celebrating atop a scenic hillside, she'll instead head to a plantation outside New Orleans for the requisite picnic.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Eileen Guo is a journalist based in New York City who writes about food, culture and identity.

Just as it would be back home, the hall was split — with one side for men and another for women — with a catered buffet of traditional Afghan foods and a band playing Afghan music. In the weeks to come, neighbors and new friends will pay each other visits at home, in lieu of the extended family visits that they would make back in Afghanistan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mohammad Shafiq, a former senior media adviser to NATO who arrived in the U.S. three years ago under the Special Immigrant Visa program (a special program for Afghans and Iraqis who worked closely with the American government or military), Nowruz is ultimately about community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For Nowruz, we cook more food than usual ... so that if someone comes, we should always be prepared,\" Shafiq says. And considering that his apartment building alone is home to 24 Afghan families, there will be many such visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago also hosted the first part of its Nowruz celebrations this weekend in a local hotel; the second will take place, as per Nowruz tradition, approximately 13 days later at an outdoor picnic. In the warmer months in Afghanistan, picnics are the social events of the season, with the Nowruz picnic serving as the unofficial kickoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Samiye Rajabi, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee, was one of the attendees in Chicago. She arrived in the Windy City by herself in January 2016, as the rest of her family members awaited the finalization of their refugee processing in Turkey, where they had already spent eight years in limbo. While she appreciated Chicago's Afghan community coming together, she had looked forward to a reunion, and a homier celebration, with her family this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was especially homesick for \u003cem>samanak,\u003c/em> a special Nowruz sweet paste made of wheat flour; she remembered her mother and aunts spending all night preparing it in the lead-up to Nowruz. Since it was a difficult task requiring a lot of strength, she had never taken part. This year, she thought she might.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that was before President Trump put a 120-day moratorium on the processing of all refugees. Rajabi believes that her family was at the very end of its processing, but now, she has four more months to go before a possible reunion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preserving the food traditions of the Persian New Year takes on an even deeper significance for those who do not have extended Afghan communities to celebrate with. Sabira Ebaady, who refers to herself as \"one of two Afghans in the state of Louisiana\" (the other is her younger sister), spent many of her 10 Nowruzes in the United States alone before her sister joined her in New Orleans last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their planning for Nowruz began weeks ago, when they let lentils take sprout, a tradition that serves as a physical representation of the process of rebirth. Her lentil sprouts will be the centerpiece of her \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/20/471174857/nowruz-persian-new-years-table-celebrates-spring-deliciously\">Nowruz table, or haftseen\u003c/a>, one of seven items meant to symbolize renewal. The day before the big feast, she will cook many dishes, including \u003cem>sebzah,\u003c/em> a rice dish with green vegetables, which symbolize wealth and health, and the \u003cem>haft mewa\u003c/em> (seven fruits) dessert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, she will head outdoors to enjoy an Afghan-style picnic. It'll be less elaborate than the ones that she remembers from her childhood in Ghazni and among the refugee community in Pakistan. And rather than celebrating atop a scenic hillside, she'll instead head to a plantation outside New Orleans for the requisite picnic.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Eileen Guo is a journalist based in New York City who writes about food, culture and identity. She enjoyed two Nowruzes and numerous picnics as a digital media entrepreneur in Afghanistan. \u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Diet was linked to nearly 319,000 of these deaths. \"This is a remarkable burden, nearly 1,000 deaths each day\" linked to dietary habits, says senior study author \u003ca href=\"http://nutrition.tufts.edu/profile/faculty/dariush-mozaffarian\">Dariush Mozaffarian\u003c/a>, dean of the Friedman School at Tufts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, changing Americans dietary habits could have a significant impact, the authors argue. \"Our research suggests that nearly half of the risk can be reduced [by] eating a healthy diet,\" Mozaffarian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new analysis is based on data from the federal survey known as NHANES, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Researchers asked some 8,500 participants about their eating habits. In addition, Mozaffarian and his colleagues estimated associations of diet and disease from prior studies and clinical trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the task of estimating death or disease linked to diet is tricky. Scientists use statistical methods to try to tease apart the impact of diet as part of people's overall lifestyle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One challenge: People who have healthy diets often have other healthy habits, too — such as getting regular exercise. Dietary habits also track with socio-economic status. So, people with lower incomes are more likely to have poorer diets compared with wealthier people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tufts researchers used studies that had controlled for these lifestyle factors, but it's not a perfect science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Relying on evidence from observational studies...carries the potential limitation of confounding bias,\" states an editorial that was \u003ca href=\"http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2608201\">published\u003c/a> alongside the study. The editorial raises the possibility that the effect of confounding factors such as socioeconomic status and physical activity could be substantial. \"For instance, it's possible that processed meat consumption merely reflects a Westernized dietary pattern.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mozaffarian acknowledges the limitations. \"At the end of the day, our findings might modestly over - or under-estimate the health burdens, he told us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the bigger point is this: \"Whether poor diet is causing 1,000 cardiovascular and diabetes deaths per day, or 500, it remains among the leading causes of preventable suffering.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poor diets are also linked to billions of dollars in healthcare spending. For instance, diabetes \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/statsreport14/national-diabetes-report-web.pdf\">costs\u003c/a> the U.S. $245 billion a year. In the U.S., a women with diabetes\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14675789.\"> incurs\u003c/a>, on average, about $283,000 in lifetime health care costs. (Many cost studies don't separate Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you love foods that are associated with cardiovascular risks, you don't have to give them up entirely. As most nutrition studies show, it's excessive consumption that drives up the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, dietary guidelines recommend limiting sugar consumption to no more than 10 percent of daily calories. This means that a single 200-calorie sugary drink may be OK for a person who typically consumes a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem: Most Americans \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/02/03/271130613/sweet-tooth-gone-bad-why-22-teaspoons-of-sugar-per-day-is-deadly\">consume much more.\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Diet was linked to nearly 319,000 of these deaths. \"This is a remarkable burden, nearly 1,000 deaths each day\" linked to dietary habits, says senior study author \u003ca href=\"http://nutrition.tufts.edu/profile/faculty/dariush-mozaffarian\">Dariush Mozaffarian\u003c/a>, dean of the Friedman School at Tufts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, changing Americans dietary habits could have a significant impact, the authors argue. \"Our research suggests that nearly half of the risk can be reduced [by] eating a healthy diet,\" Mozaffarian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new analysis is based on data from the federal survey known as NHANES, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Researchers asked some 8,500 participants about their eating habits. In addition, Mozaffarian and his colleagues estimated associations of diet and disease from prior studies and clinical trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the task of estimating death or disease linked to diet is tricky. Scientists use statistical methods to try to tease apart the impact of diet as part of people's overall lifestyle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One challenge: People who have healthy diets often have other healthy habits, too — such as getting regular exercise. Dietary habits also track with socio-economic status. So, people with lower incomes are more likely to have poorer diets compared with wealthier people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tufts researchers used studies that had controlled for these lifestyle factors, but it's not a perfect science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Relying on evidence from observational studies...carries the potential limitation of confounding bias,\" states an editorial that was \u003ca href=\"http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2608201\">published\u003c/a> alongside the study. The editorial raises the possibility that the effect of confounding factors such as socioeconomic status and physical activity could be substantial. \"For instance, it's possible that processed meat consumption merely reflects a Westernized dietary pattern.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mozaffarian acknowledges the limitations. \"At the end of the day, our findings might modestly over - or under-estimate the health burdens, he told us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the bigger point is this: \"Whether poor diet is causing 1,000 cardiovascular and diabetes deaths per day, or 500, it remains among the leading causes of preventable suffering.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poor diets are also linked to billions of dollars in healthcare spending. For instance, diabetes \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/statsreport14/national-diabetes-report-web.pdf\">costs\u003c/a> the U.S. $245 billion a year. In the U.S., a women with diabetes\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14675789.\"> incurs\u003c/a>, on average, about $283,000 in lifetime health care costs. (Many cost studies don't separate Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you love foods that are associated with cardiovascular risks, you don't have to give them up entirely. As most nutrition studies show, it's excessive consumption that drives up the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, dietary guidelines recommend limiting sugar consumption to no more than 10 percent of daily calories. This means that a single 200-calorie sugary drink may be OK for a person who typically consumes a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem: Most Americans \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/02/03/271130613/sweet-tooth-gone-bad-why-22-teaspoons-of-sugar-per-day-is-deadly\">consume much more.\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
