With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Hobbits and hypotheses | Henry Gee :: All good tales should have a self-consistent back story. If they do, they are amenable to scientific investigation"Why?" If you have a toddler, this is a question that will assail your ears many, many times each day. Why is the sky blue? Why do people get old and die? Why am I here? To a person newly exposed to the world, everything is unfamiliar, and therefore deserving of explanation, even if the encrusted taboos of adulthood are broken in the asking. To a parent, who is old enough to have the luxury of taking everything for granted, it's infuriating. "Scientist" is a name we give to a person who has never really got beyond the toddler stage of inquiry. To a scientist, the world is still full of marvelous phenomena that demand explanation, and in which nothing should ever be taken for gr...

Paper of the Month: U.S. Public Supports Policies to Improve Nutritional Impact of Federal Nutrition Assistance Program :: This month's paper is from Public Health Nutrition and is entitled 'Public support for policies to improve the nutritional impact of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)'. The full paper is published on Cambridge Journals Online will be freely available for a limited time.
The U.S. Congress is currently debating substantial cuts to agriculture and food assistance programs included in the 2012 Farm Bill in order to reduce the country's budget deficit. Due to the ongoing effects of the global recession, a record 46 million people, or one in seven Americans, receive benefits to purchase food every month from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps. The $75 billion of annual federal spending on SNAP provides a both a cr...

Longer Lives, Lower Incomes for Japanese Women :: When Hiroko Taguchi retired this past April, at the age of 64, from her job as an insurance sales agent, she joined the rapidly growing ranks of Japan's aging women who now outnumber their male counterparts.
Taguchi, a divorcee who lives alone, is heavily dependent on her pension to support what will likely be a lengthy retirement, given that women in Japan live, on average, about seven years longer than men. A survey conducted earlier this year by the Health and Welfare Ministry revealed that women account for 87.3 percent of Japan's record number of 50,000 centenarians.
"I am lucky I did not quit my job when I married, as was the norm for women of my age," Taguchi told IPS. Indeed, she is one of a very small number of women in Japan for whom old age is not synonymous with povert...
