Rice has always been fundamental in Korean cooking and Korean life in general since it’s cultivation. The value of rice became so high that it was once used as currency and to pay taxes. Rice was seen as luxury dish and the farmers who produced it couldn’t eat it.

Misleading labels should be banned

Opinion blog post Imagine yourself walking in the supermarket or grocery store. You’ll see aisle after aisle of packaged food with various labels. You can almost feel them shouting nonsense at you. You get attracted to them by the words “all natural” or “low in fat” etc. , but what most people forget is that more than 50% of those labels are misleading. In 2003, there was a study by the Costumers Association. They found some foods branded as “light”, had up to seven times more fat then those who branded as “low fat”.

Opinion blog post: superfoods

The start of a healthier lifestyle? Superfoods! We all know that there are a lot of foods that aren’t all that healthy for us. With that,  I mean a lot more than just fast food and prepared meals you can buy in the supermarket. If you don’t eat healthily, you can develop a higher risk at getting chronic health conditions. I know it is easy to just buy a prepared meal after a long day at work, but cooking fresh vegetables at home really can make a difference. If you aren’t up for that, superfoods –if you ask me- might be the key to a healthier lifestyle. Ansley Hill states they these superfoods, such as kale, berries, nuts and seeds, olive oil and even eggs, are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Superfoods, according to “The health benefits of superfoods”, are considered nutrient powerhouses that provide a lot of antioxidants and certain chemicals that are naturally in plants. Therefore most superfoods are plants or plant based, but like eggs, some dairy and fish al...
