Do You Ever Wonder What this means???

More talk on ingredients.

What substances or ingredients can be listed as "natural flavor," "flavor," or "flavorings" rather than by a specific common or usual name?

Ingredients such as ginger, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, celery powder, and garlic oil may be listed as one of the three categories mentioned above. They may be designated as "natural flavors" because they are substances used chiefly for flavor. They do not make a nutritional contribution, are not derived from an animal species, and there are no health concerns linked to them.

i thought this was an interesting tid-bit.

Todays Tip
Lunch

I am going to focus on "brown bag" lunches. If you do have the option to stay at home and make something, you can still use these ideas. The easiest things to make are sandwiches. All you need is bread, lettuce (tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouts, and all the other vegetable fixings you like), mustard or low-fat salad dressing, and sandwich meat, if you like. Sandwich meat today is pretty low-fat, especially the turkey sold in prepackaged boxes. Tuna is also another ingredient for yummy sandwiches. So slap those ingredients and you will end up with a nice thick sandwich. You might also think about bringing a thermos of homemade chili, stew, or soup. As for drinks, try non-fat milk, fruit juice, or water. How about some fresh fruit or yogurt for dessert?
As you can tell by the short description, I do not think there's much to say about it besides what you can bring from home. I think it might be common for people to go out for lunch, later there will be tips for eating out. Plus another advantage of brown bagging it, less expensive, no lines, no traffic, and you can have exactly what you want!!
