Newsletter, blogs and awards…

05/09/2010 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  1 Comment

For those who might be wondering where their Foods Matter newsletter had gone – it is on its way – but the ISP upgrade we were doing last week has involved changing the newsletter programme as well. So although this weekend’s newsletter has indeed gone out, it has failed to circumvent many of your anti-spam prgrammes as successfully as the old one, so we currently have around 600 ‘returned as spam’ messages in our in box!!

So apologies to those of you who have not yet received a newsletter – you will. And apologies to those of you who already have – you will probably get a second one….. Hopefully all will be sorted by the time of the next newsletter in two weeks time.

Meanwhile,  can I point you in the direction of three excellent blogs – one of which also pops up in the newsletter, the other two belonging to our good friend nutritionist Micki Rose and to nut-allergic Ruth Holroyd whose story and whose excellent ‘allergy action plan’ are both to be found on foodsmatter.com.

Ruth’s blog charts the life of a nut-allergic and is filled with useful experiences, advice, product suggestions and good cheer. And she is keen! She manages to blog very regularly – which is more than can be said of yours truly at the moment… You can also follow Ruth on Twitter – @WhatAllergy

Micki, as all foodsmatter.com visitors will know, is a mine of information and advice on all things nutritional and to do with the skin. A multi-intolerant herself  (see her ‘Diary of a food intolerant’) she runs the Pure Health Clinic in Warwickshire from whence appears an excellent blog on which she posts regularly on all the above topics, plus many more. Alternatively, you can sign up to get all of her blogs as a monthly newsletter. Massively informative – and good fun.  Incidentally, if you do not live anywhere near Warwick, Micki also does consultations by phone, by Skype and by email – very helpful for those who are unable to travel or for whom schlepping to Warwick is impractical.

The last blog has nothing, directly at least, to do with allergy/intolerance – it has to do with Camel Cheese!! Since this could take a while to explain – I shall just point you in the direction of the article – which is graced by one of Cartoonist Christopher’s finer creations!

As a further excuse for my dilatory blogging – I am delighted to be able to announce that, having opened the 2011 FreeFrom Food Awards last week, we have already received our first entries!  We are looking forward to finalising the sponsorship for this year’s awards during September, ready for a big launch next month… Watch this space.

Meanwhile, off to Bristol next weekend of the presentation of the 2010 Organic Food Awards… It’s all go!

    […] thank you to Micki Rose (about whom I have just blogged…) as it was she who threw up her hands in horror when I said we were not going to do the […]

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
