- What could be worse than the Double Down? You may have read about the kerfuffle over KFC’s new sandwich – the Double Down. It’s a nutritional horror, but as Yoni Freehoff points out there are several fast food sandwiches which are worse.
- The rise of ingredientism: Interesting piece from NPR on restaurant menus where the Adjectives Overpower the Entrees. They call it the “tyranny of the ingredient” and chart the history of ingredientism.
- Should we be talking up the speed of cooking? A thoughtful article from Michael Ruhlman on whether people are really too busy to cook.
- The GI of wholegrains: I’ll be posting a piece about wholegrains next week. In the meantime the GI group answers the question why some wholegrains have a low GI and others don’t?
- The best multigrain breads: More on wholegrains, this time a review by Choice of wholegrain breads. They do a taste test and compare nutritionals. Not all wholegrain breads are created equal.
- Supermarket tricks: Another one from Choice, this time they’re uncovering some of the techniques supermarkets use to encourage you to buy more.

Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for more GI and wholegrain related links (love these). I hadn’t really considered the salt content in breads… though it’s good to see my favourite bread came in at #2 on the tester’s chart.
I also hadn’t realised Choice had such a great website – thanks for those links also.
Thanks for more great links – I find myself at my desk nodding my head and feeling glad someone finally says it when I read about ingredientism and micahel ruhlman’s article – lovely to see him talking about enjoying food rather than timing how long it takes us
Jen, Choice have revamped their website in (about) the last 12 months, so it’s a bit more funky than it used to be, and there’s a huge amount of good information on there. Glad you find the links useful, I’ll be posting a piece on wholegrains next week as well.
Johanna, I think Michael Ruhlman’s article is a great reality check on the quick, fast, instant food culture which is developing.
