Popcorn, already known to be a good source of fiber, has higher levels of healthy antioxidants than some fruits and vegetables, according to new research.
"Based on fiber, whole grains, and antioxidant levels, popcorn is the king of snack foods," says Joe Vinson, Ph.D., professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton.
But he isn't suggesting that anyone scrap fruits and vegetables in favor of popcorn. It's not yet clear how much of popcorn's healthy antioxidants get absorbed by the body.

Delenda Joseph writes, "With so many decent food options at ballparks, I can't imagine why anyone would want to voluntarily order up a batch of toasted grasshoppers to chow down. Unless of course, they're being triple dog dared, in which case they have to eat it. But other than that, are hot dogs and tacos not enough? Apparently, they aren't for Seattle Mariners fans because those Goosebumps monsters are chowing down all the toasted grasshoppers they can eat. So much so that the Mariners are limiting the amount they sell to prevent a devastating shortage. Imagine that: A toasted grasshopper shortage."

Adam Aron, the chief executive of AMC Theaters, the largest multiplex chain in the world, sat in a hotel suite here last month and sang the praises of a new menu item he called "the Bavarian Beast."
It's a pound-and-a-half salted pretzel the size of a steering wheel. "There's also a new jalapeño-flavored Southwestern dog that's to die for,” he said. But Aron was most effusive about another new AMC offering, a juicy chicken sandwich with waffles as buns.

In the 1930s, Coca-Cola began producing their signature soft drink with a different sugar substitute, sucrose, that made it kosher for Passover. Jews observing Passover cut out chametz, or any grain-based products that are capable of leavening. Some Jews also cut out kitniyot, which includes foods like rice, beans, peanuts, and corn. Regular bottles of Coke contain high-fructose corn syrup which is not kosher for Passover. Today, bottles of Coca-Cola that are kosher for Passover have yellow caps instead of the traditional red ones. In addition to the yellow cap, the bottle has a Passover certification symbol.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 169,000 Unilever employees were jolted by the news earlier this year that Kraft Heinz Co. had turned up in London with a $143 billion offer to buy their employer.
No, no, said executives at the Anglo-Dutch consumer packaged goods giant, politely ushering the would-be buyers out the door. Thanks, but no thanks. Kraft Heinz — backed by funding and strategy from the food giant's majority owners 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway — now may be casting its eyes across the aisles of the world's grocery stores, looking for another tasty business that owns great brands but also has identifiable places to cut costs.

The internet of things is revolutionizing how humans function and operate. This new "smart era" is replete with next-generation cutting-edge technologies that operate on adaptive intelligence. Smart sensors might seem like one minuscule aspect of the internet of things, but they have the potential to change how certain industries work. The use of these intelligent sensors in various applications, including packaging of materials and goods, has earned them a nod of approval by many manufacturers.

Calorie counts on restaurant menus, required in just a few cities until now, will soon be mandatory nationwide.
Starting in May, the government will make nearly all businesses that serve food — from sit-down and take-out restaurants to bowling alleys and movie theaters — to say how many calories are in their menu items.
The idea is simple enough: Make the information available, advocates say, and consumers will eat smarter and be healthier.

 First, it was Uber, which continues to find itself in the news for all the wrong reasons. Then, it was Pepsi nearly breaking the internet and adding a new line in the oil-and-water discussion of race relations and police brutality. Both companies went through situations that left them embarrassed, backpedaling and answering to myriad negative headlines. United Airlines is the latest to have to answer to critics, after a video of a 69-year-old passenger being forcibly removed from a flight went viral.
