OK. this may be gross, but I feel the need to know the truth before I eat another shrimp! That black line down the center of its back . . . is it a "waste chute" for excrement or is it a vein of sorts that is part of a a circulatory system? I swear I have tasted "grit" if it isn't completely cleaned out, but my friend says it is not poop. What gives? --Dodebnor

Customers concerns about the safety of food imported from China have led Trader Joe's to stop selling all "single-ingredient" foods imported from China by April 1, 2008, according to USA Today.

Trader Joe's grocery stores are dropping foods from China to satisfy customers concerned about the quality of that country's products after last year's spate of problems. By April 1, Trader Joe's will phase out single-ingredient Chinese imports such as garlic, frozen organic spinach, ginger and edamame, a green soybean, says spokeswoman Alison Mochizuki. The ban doesn't include products with ingredients from China, a leading source of vitamins and minerals used in many processed foods. With 285 stores in 23 states, Trader Joe's is known for good prices on a wide selection of exotic items, from Australian licorice to Indian pilaf. Trader Joe's says the products it bought from China were safe, but "our customers have voiced their concerns about products from this region, and we have listened," Mochizuki said. Federal regulators last year warned about contaminated Chinese pet-food ingredients, fish containing antibiotics not allowed in human food, and toothpaste laced with a chemical used in antifreeze. ... Still, China's products show up often in food recalls, Food and Drug Administration data show. Of the 14 food recalls tracked by the FDA since Dec. 1, four of the eight identified as imports were from China. Products from India, Mexico, Turkey and the USA were also recalled, indicating that any country can face food-safety challenges.

Celebrity chef Anthony Worrall Thompson mistakenly recommends henbane for salads rather than fat hen, a weed rich in vitamin C, that is edible. It too can be harmful because of its high level of nitrates, but cases of poisoning are rare.
Henbane, how-
Celebrity chef Anthony Worrall Thompson has apologized after accidentally recommending in a magazine article that the weed henbane (also known as stinking nightshade), a potentially deadly plant, made an excellent addition to summertime meals. After all, there was plenty of it, it grew locally and was used by the ancient Greeks and the Arabs for its anesthetic properties. Er, not quite.

What you eat is likely tied to the class you were born into.

Jamie's Ministry of Food, the celebrity chef's new TV series, is a powerful portrait of the socially excluded. It also reveals an enduring truth, says Felicity Lawrence: our diet today is as much about class as it always has been - and it will take more than a one-man mission to change that
