 If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to wander the aisles of a grocery store overseas, you may have been puzzled by the fact that eggs are stored out in the open, far away from the cooling power of the perimeter refrigeration systems. This was very alarming to me the first time I witnessed it - yet it’s a completely commonplace and well-accepted practice in most other countries. But why?
5/29/2018 Rosé All Day - An Exposé As a follow-up to last week’s exposé on cold brew, I decided to investigate another highly requested (and very trendy) beverage -- rosé.

3/17/2018 Think About It - Shamrock Shake® Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Nutripol! Although originally intended to celebrate the Irish saint and his dedication to the Christian faith, this holiday is more associated with extravagant costumes, themed parties, and an abundance of beer. But it wouldn't be St. Patrick’s Day without the annual release of the Shamrock Shake® -- a colorful treat with a massive caloric price tag.
 Recent years have seen several cities across the country adopting a soda tax in response to the looming obesity crisis. It’s too early to tell how well they’re working, but it’s clear that a fervent national debate has emerged around the subject with dogmatic supporters and outspoken critics. Seattle is the latest focal point of the conversation, and this time they’ve even managed to get one of their most famous homegrown brands involved -- Starbucks.
