Global study of salmon shows: ‘Sustainable’ food isn’t so sustainable | Science Blog – Fish should swim, not fly. Air-freighting salmon, and any food, results in substantial increases in environmental impacts. If more frozen food were consumed, more container ships would be used to ship food. Container ships are by far the most efficient and carbon-friendly way to transport food. Globally, the majority of salmon fillets are currently consumed fresh and never frozen. In fish-loving Japan, which gets much of its fish by air, switching to 75 percent frozen salmon would have more benefit than all of Europe eating locally farmed salmon.

Gil’s Thrilling (And Filling) Blog » Davido’s Pizza & More – Rio Rancho, New Mexico – Add Davido’s Pizza & More to the list of Rio Rancho pizzerias with a claim to the New York pizza heritage. The family patriarch (not named Davido) is indeed a transplanted New Yorker though it is his daughter and son-in-law who own and manage the restaurant. The restaurant opened in April, 2008. Davido’s is situated just about as far north as you can go in Rio Rancho before you’re on Santa Ana Pueblo. Heretofore, the good citizens of this outpost had to drive several miles to placate their pizza fixes with the good stuff–or they could have “pizza” delivered by nearby chains Pizza Hut, Little Caesar’s and Domino’s. Pizza pundits now have a real choice–a good one.

News : City focuses its vision on the future – Rio Rancho Observer – Unlike Albuquerque, Rio Rancho has plenty of room to grow. Of the city’s 106 square miles, only 34.5 percent is developed. “This is allowing us to build a city from scratch,” Colley said. “The challenge is having to balance the wants and needs of different populations.” The city is updating the plan to better manage and guide development. In 20 years, Rio Rancho could look very different. The Mid-Region Council of Governments projects the city’s population to double to 160,000 by 2030.

- High Fructose Corn Syrup: A Recipe For Hypertension, Study Finds – Over the last 200 years, the rate of fructose intake has directly paralleled the increasing rate of obesity, which has increased sharply in the last 20 years since the introduction of HFCS. Today, Americans consume 30% more fructose than 20 years ago and up to four times more than 100 years ago, when obesity rates were less than 5%. While this increase mirrors the dramatic rise in the prevalence of hypertension, studies have been inconsistent in linking excess fructose in the diet to hypertension.

- Birth Control Pills Affect Women’s Taste in Men: Scientific American – Studies suggest that females prefer the scent of males whose MHC genes differ from their own, a preference that has probably evolved because it helps offspring survive: couples with different MHC genes are less likely to be related to each other than couples with similar genes are, and their children are born with more varied MHC profiles and thus more robust immune systems.
