@MASTERCHEFonFOX , @AaronSanchez, @GordonRamsay, @Jbastianich Disappointed to see another season downplay food allergies. Someone claimed to be deathly allergic to fish; response seemed to be a shrug. When will food allergies be taken seriously? Lots of kids suffer from this.

The EU, Colombia and Panama have jointly proposed increased protections for ipe under CITES to be voted on this November. It’s time to up international protections.
Logging to meet demand for the tropical hardwood ipê coincides with hotspots of illegal deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, the source of 96% of the ipê used worldwide, a report shows.
