workshops for schoolchildren to mindfully dealing with food together with rescued food which is food that's fostered 6 but is still good to be useful and learn about how food waste can be avoided at home. the students at this brylin elementary school are going to be cooking today the unusual thing about this school lunch workshop. is the ingredients which nearly ended up at the dump. that this is all produce that we rescued yesterday from a local supermarket that sells organic food we go there once or twice a week and find great stuff here's some carrots in various colors they were rejected as they're slightly soft on the bit wrinkled but they're still fine to eat today. and they founded an association 4 years ago that makes use of leftover food she and her team go into schools to teach the children that fruit and vegetables that don't look perfect are still great to eat the students learn to appreciate the value of food in a playful way some are already quite well informed. yeah you hear when we buy food in the supermarket here there's always enough and food costs money to be produc

food wastage around the world. there are various studies some studies put it at around 20 percent but some studies cause as high as 40 percent so it's difficult to support exact figure on how much is wasted but the fact remains that whether it is a developed country or developing country still food is wasted the numbers are different but it is the active of the numbers good amount of food is vested the only difference is that there is a difference between the nature of wasted natural food or dismissed it we do in developing and developed countries most of the time in developing countries food wastage takes place between farm to veto whereas in developed countries it's between the consumer. according to the u.n. food and agriculture organization india waste. 13000000000 euros. the country produces enough food to feed its population in theory the challenge law is in preventing it from going to waste. agricultural economist walking one brown was the director general of the international food policy research institute

food fraud is widespread and highly profitable. to me that the trade in fake food products is even more profitable than the drug trade. worldwide 10 percent tested fake even oregon and sometimes adulterated with chopped pain leaves other bulking agents. in general food fraud is a form of fraud committed on the consumer's pocket book the consumer is paying for a quality product but getting something inferior. often involves expensive products like stuff from for instance that's why the spice is regularly examined by chemists at the food safety authority in this loving. about $500.00 samples of food from supermarkets online shops every day and often make astonishing discoveries. this doesn't even look like saffron it looks like some sort of cellulose material paper that's probably just been dyed red. rose shredded paper it's not dangerous but it's brazen fraud. at about 18 euro's a grand it's not surprisingly try this especially because as you've seen you can't detect the fake just by looking at it with other spices the fakes pay off

red points were fish and dairy , and blue for canned foods and bottled foods. the point system was deemed the best way to restrict consumer purchases while still allowing for some consumer flexibility. for example, if you had 10 blue points left, you may choose a can of vegetables that is worth 10 points, or you can choose to cans of 5-point fruit. the number of points necessary to obtain an item fluctuated with supply. so, stores and newspapers would regularly publish the government's updated point values for foodstuffs to help consumers plan meals around their available points. another way to ensure enough to eat, and support the war effort, was to grow your own food. during the war, almost 20 million victory gardens were planted to allow commercially -grown produce to be used for soldiers abroad, which also protected the american against food shortages here at home. at its height, 40% of the grown was grown in a victory garden. victory gardens ranged from every small rooftop gardens, although a from people turning their entire backyards into a garden to part

fingerprint detecting adulterated food can take just a few seconds. that's our goal we want to implement a system across europe and the stablish a large database with many authentic food samples and genetic fingerprints that will make it easier to detect food fraud on the global market. until now the food counterfeiters have always been a step ahead but thanks to the new databases that could soon change. a d.n.a. database for food starts to uncover fraud committed on a massive scale it's a pressing topic because food adulteration has now apparently grown common all over the world as we heard from you on facebook. from chile writes that richard says they're now contain plenty of chemicals but practically no fruit. in kenya kenneth complains that honey is mixed with mashed right bananas to increase profits. while who need it from costa rica says that lots of what sold is natural brown sugar has actually been dyed. in peru hunted has noticed a similar problem even though great chocolate is exported from the country he comments that people there mostly ha

well looking now while locusts have become a source of food in yemen this is the world's largest food crisis that's what the world food program is calling it in its latest report on the country more than 20000000 people or 70 percent of yemen's population would be facing life threatening shortages of food if it wasn't for international assistance the main reason is the war which is limiting people's ability to get food 65 percent of those facing catastrophic shortages live in areas that have experienced the worst fighting i mean other is the regional communications officer at the world food programme she joins us now via skype from cairo thanks very much for being with us so talk to us a little bit more about this report and how are things going so bad that people are having to actually eat locusts now. well it is true that yemen is the west unitarian crisis in the world and continues to be the world food program is providing full distance to 11000000 people and aiming to reach 12000000 people every month. in terms of the locust infestation this is not something new to yemen or this a

food would win the war, became hoover's slogan. by the autumn of 1918, the usa had become a cornucopia, beyond which, british, french and italians could draw with increasing confidence. five days after the armistice in 1918, president wilson dispatched hoover to europe to take charge of food distribution to a continent careening towards disaster. by now, not only belgium was the nation at risk. at the end of world war i, famine, disease and revolution swept across most of europe. it threatened to sunder a civilization already traumatized by the war to end all wars. while wilson and other allied leaders struggled to draft a peace treaty in paris, hoover, as the director of relief and chairman of a new government agency called the american relief administration, organized the dispersement of food to hungry people, and helped, thereby, to quell the danger of communist revolution in central europe. in many places, conditions were appalling. in defeated germany, for instance, as 1919 began come out large numbers of children and other ci

one thing is for certain, we an't be happy without food because we can't live without food. there is no greater meaning for the implementation of thomas jefferson's words, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. that remains true. ms. plaskett: thank you you, mr. scott. as you can see, i'm here along side my colleagues of the congressional black caucus in opposition to the administration's proposal. this rule would kick millions of people struggling with hunger supplemental nutrition program as well as approximately 250,000 children from pre-school meals. 250,000 children who rely on this program to provide them with lunch, breakfast, allowing them to be able to utilize their skills in schools and allow them to learn. many of these children without this program are unable to eat, unable to be able to stay awake in school bus of the hunger that is within them. and so we are fighting to make sure that the children are not removed and millions of americans are not removed. and not provide nutrition been futs to supplement the food budget for needy families and move towards

i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back t

we do all-natural food, no byproducts, corn, wheat, or soy in our foods.onis: is it dangerous for the animals? lisa: yeah, a lot of them are getting sick. lemonis: the basic premise is we want safety for dogs. -giovanni: correct. -lemonis: and, so, total revenue of this location is approximately? -giovanni: $1.3 million. -lemonis: and of that $1.3 million, how is that broken out? giovanni: 60% of it is probably food. lemonis: what's the most profitable product -in the store today? -lisa: treats and chews. lemonis: what are the margins on stuff like this? lisa: they're about 50% to 60%. lemonis: $12, and this would cost $6? lisa: about $6. lemonis: what does the other stuff have? lisa: food, it can vary. sometimes, it's, you know, 25% to 30%. yeah, they're low margin on foods. lemonis: today, the arlington heights location does $1.3 million worth of revenue annually. 60% comes with a 25% margin, and the other 40% comes with a 55% margin. if lisa and giovanni want to improve the store's profitability, they'll have to change the mix, getting it closer to 50/5

it's a pressing matter to redefine southern food.se it was distorted for so long. but as a northerner, why should northerners care? >> sean: well, i think if you look at the history of food in america there's no denying that southern food was the first, you know, true cuisine that had this foundation and that's important to preserve. and, to me, though, it kind of goes back to the idea you should be cooking and preserving and celebrating the food of your grandmother. >> bill: people take a real pride in their ability to cook "my aunt's recipe, my grandmother's recipe of this is how we made these," and the standard of food here is so high that when i go around any place i just go, "eh." >> anthony: country ham, bread and butter pickles and, of course, sean being sean, there will be bourbon. >> sean: i just like to start a meal with pickles and ham. i'll try not to geek out too much, but this is a very special breed of pig that came over here in the 1500s called ossabaw. the spaniards brought it. it has a very particular flavor. this o

a lot of restrictions are around food processing or food value adding, for example, it's illegal for us to smoke our own pork on farm because smoking is a -- that's a manufacturing process as well, so those are kind of zoning issues, i mean, technically it's illegal for me to write a book from my home office because book writing is not agriculture. so these are very interesting, you know, private property whatever stipulations that have come in, the food is, of course, big one as well, we have customers that would love to get, for example, a chicken pot pie, for example, but it's illegal for us to make that without a free standing inspected kitchen with attached bathroom and plethora of compliance regulations, so, you know, one of the problems to have regulations is that they're not sized, scalable, they're sized discriminatory, if you're small it's very difficult and if you're big they're a lot easier. >> so do you find the usda to be an ally? >> oh, no. if i were president i would abolish the usda, i would abolish that tomorrow, no federal agency has ever been more efficient at eli

how did you go from anti-fast food crusader to fast food owner-operator? >> it's not a journey i thought i'd be on. >> reporter: that'ere must be tremendous backlash. >> you say that until you walk in the door. it tells you the truth from the minute walk in. we tell you where the food comes from, how many chickens we devour, 9 billion in the u.s. alone. >> reporter: his pop-up restaurant is the latest in the culmination of his documentary, "super size me 2", holy chicken. going behind enemy lines in the starkist starkest of ways, and he's starting from the beginning. >> that is a lot of chickens. >> reporter: is the dream of holy chicken to put big chicken out of business? >> you're never going to put big chicken out of business, but the goal is to how do you start to level the playing field? if you can't beat them, beat them with a better chicken sandwich. can you create a truly farm to table localized fast food restaurant? >> reporter: after all, for the $273 billion fast food industry, chicken sandwiches are the latest rage. >> what if there cpa mp hone

[laughter] tell me what you eat and i will tell you who you are. but i don't want now to do is not patronizing restaurants because they have plastic straws. the world is changing quick and everyone wants to do better. we need to be supportive. every restaurant wants to do better, but that is a conversation that it's important that you show up including my restaurant. i am not perfect. 20 years ago i used to have sharks on my menu because it was a tradition, it wasn't a probl problem. i took shark out of my restaurant and it took time for everybody to be educated but never anything again, everybody can do anything they wanted these to be an educational process. everybody can do whatever they want, but we should do it in

why is a famine struck country receiving food aid exporting food to the rich world to us. it did make sense. returning to find out more i couldn't imagine that it was the beginning of the much bigger story. i. think. the best sleep. next song and. wherever i go in the city everything seems to be about developments hunger and poverty are to be eradicated by any means necessary. for the field being government the solution is to invite foreign investors. would you look at what would be a little bit so i think it will yes it would be good to get this all the laid. it's that in my less than a week i get home that lame is that all about it will be investment and that some are not yet and yes again known as that focus by doubt. it was a gimmick if you take any sort of militia you know you can about how could you not just diplomatically to be investment be so much you can be sure to go on. the call from the government is heard in the luxury hotels of the city i meet international business people inventors looking for opportunities the hot topic on everyone's lips is farmland what

why is a famine struck country receiving food aid exporting food to the rich world to us. to make sense. returning to find out more i couldn't imagine that it was the beginning of a much bigger story. if i can just point out across the way here i've got. a neighbor of ours here he's also a little cool person. he has no infrastructure much no machinery. but what he does do is follow his crop very closely and he does everything at the right time and you see he's also got a very good crop now i'd like to just show you this call just here. the person the farmer who has this is somebody who lives here now do so but they're not following their crop closely they're what we call an investor they come perhaps once a year to look at that crops the result of that is that we have a lot of this week this is called i see grass weed it's called asking dubbo literally means no break what we need is more of the mentality of the pharma rather than the investor people who are committed to growing crops following their crops having that competitive instinct wanting to find something which inc

the food is very nice. i am muslim so i especially eat halal food.t i want and they are giving me. but for some the stigma is too great. nighat tries to encourage them in, not least for the social contact. they can come up here, they feel lonely, they feel they can come up to a place on a saturday, sit down, have lunch, talk to people. we are like their humdum family. and the volunteers here say they benefit from the community feeling too, including 22—year—old nurse zara. once we have done our work, cleaned up, ourgroup, our team leader will sit us down and we all eat together, which is fantastic, because you're notjust coming here to volunteer, you're also here to make friends. with a stronger sense of community humdum hopes it will help asian people shake off the shame that some associate with food banks. today marks 80 years since germany invaded poland. representatives from different areas have come here. the southern island city here was a pond and fired. we have current soldiers waiting for the ceremony to start. members of the public rating a

pretty food, you have amazing food. >> fuchsia: ah! this is a really amazing dish. i specially requested this dish, which is one of his specialties. so it's sea cucumber from -- off the northeastern coast. so that's a very expensive, rarified banquet ingredient. but it's done with a typical sichuanese sour and hot dressing, or sour and hot seasonings. like, on the street you'd get just these seasonings with slippery sweet potato noodles and a load of offal. >> anthony: right. >> fuchsia: this is a banquet version. >> eric: ah. >> fuchsia: yeah. >> eric: this is going to be a challenge for me. i'm still battling with my, uh, skills. >> fuchsia: i would hold your bowl a little closer like this, and then it's easier. >> eric: ah! thank you. >> fuchsia: less room for disaster. >> eric: you could have told me that before, tony. >> anthony: ah, i was having so much fun. [ fuchsia and eric laugh ] >> anthony: so that resistance, that boing, that rubberiness, actually, elasticity, it's kind of the last frontier for western palates. >> eric: th
