November Salba Contest!

Here we go again, a chance to win the Source Salba giveaway for November!


To remind you, one Canadian reader (excluding province of Quebec) has the chance to win:
- one bag of Source Salba Ground Organic Salba®
- three Source Salba REAL Whole Food bars
- one box of Source Salba Cinnamon and Apple Krispy Rice bars

So, here are the two questions you need to correctly answer (enter your name or blogger profile in the comments of this post; one entry per person):

1. How much omega-3 do the Source Salba REAL Whole Food bars (flavours original, apple/cinnamon, blueberry, peach, raspberry) contain?

2. Name a town in New Brunswick which carries Source Salba products.

(fyi, You'll notice in question 1 that there are other flavors of the "REAL" bar other than original. For some reason, all of the entrants in the October contest answered that the REAL bar came in just the original flavor, however it is offered in those other flavors as well!)

The winner will be notified on this blog at the beginning of December and we will then arrange to have the prize mailed to you. Please link through for the full contest rules.

Go look for the answers!

Back real soon with a foodie post!

Isn't Salba a genetically modified grain? If there is such a fuss over other GMO foods such as corn and tomatoes, why isn't there an equal outcry over Salba? What makes this product exempt from the worries over other DNA-modified plants?

Quinoa is also an "ancient grain" that hasn't been tinkered with by a large corporation. But how come Monsanto is vilified and Salba Corporation gets a pass?

I love your site and your books and don't want to derail your giveaway, but I am puzzled by this unquestioned acceptance of a GMO food.

Hoping for some information, Sue

Umm, okay--a little more research and I was able to answer my own question. Salba is NOT a genetically modified food--it is a white variety of chia seed which is the result of selective breeding.

From the article "Supplementation of Conventional Therapy With the Novel Grain Salba (Salvia hispanica L.) Improves Major and Emerging Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Type 2 Diabetes
Results of a randomized controlled trial"

by"
Vladimir Vuksan, PHD1,2,3, Dana Whitham, MSC, RD2,3, John L. Sievenpiper, PHD1,2, Alexandra L. Jenkins, RD, PHD1, Alexander L. Rogovik, MD, PHD1, Richard P. Bazinet, PHD2, Edward Vidgen, BSC2 and Amir Hanna, MD, FRCPC3

I quote:

"Salba is a new generation of whole grain produced by Salba Corporation, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and cultivated by selective breeding (AgriSalba, Ica, Peru). Salba is a white-color variety from the original herbaceous plant Salvia hispanica L., which is >90% black grain and is known as a "running food" and used as both food and remedy by the ancient Aztecs."


I do sincerely apologize for raising the question without more thorough research. But I like to know the origins of my food, and thought this info might help others who are quite new to Salba and wonder what it really is.

Thanks, Sue

Dreena said...

Hi Marisa, it's not a personal decision, and most contests in Canada do not include Quebec. I'm not certain but I believe it's because of specific contest rules and regulations that Quebec has provincially in order for it to be included in contests. This is just my rough understanding of the issue, so I may be incorrect with something I've noted here. Sorry all the same! :(

順便介紹一下室內設計在國內的發展,已到了一個急待突破的瓶頸階段。雖然,在裝潢學界,我們已建立了從高中、高職、五專、二技、四技、大學到研究所相當完整的室內設計相關專業教育體系,在業界,相關從業人員至少也在數萬人以上,而民間人士對於住宅、商空、辦公室等各類空間室內設計之需求也隨著經濟的不斷成長與社會進步而日益殷切。表面上看來,室內設計似乎蓬勃發展、坦途在望,但事實並非如此。此一領域至今仍有許多問題急待克服與解決,而其中最主要的問題之一是官方一直將「室內設計」視為是依附在建築之下的附屬品,而非一獨立之專業。這種情形,我們從內政部所公布施行的建築物室內裝修管理辦法之內容便可清楚看出。



此一未與學界、業界充分溝通即匆促制訂、且施行後成效不彰的室內設計管理辦法可說問題重重,值得深入檢討,以謀徹底改善之道。



  官方對於「室內設計」未能正確定位可說是問題的主要根源之一。此一瓶頸如無法突破,則室內設計將永遠只是附屬於建築底下的一個妾身未明、專業地位未受尊敬與肯定的灰色領域。這種情形對多年來努力建立室內設計專業教育體系的學界、以及辛勤接受室內設計各級專業教育的諸多莘莘學子而言,真是情何難堪。何以同樣在中華民國教育制度下,一樣的修業年限,一樣具備完整的專業教育體系,建築、土木等領域的畢業生就有機會取得官方對其專業地位的認定,其權利能受法律保障,而修習室內設計公司的室內設計者就只能參加建築物室內裝修專業技術人員之講習與測驗,還需在建築師、建築公會或其他相關專業團體之審核查驗下夾縫求生?這對室內設計領域是不公平的。如果不是其他專業領域之專業知識與技能未能完全涵蓋、不足以有效處理室內設計相關問題,何以有室內設計存在的空間?又何需大費周章建立從高中到研究所的專業教育體系?可見室內設計有其存在的必要與價值,也有其獨具的(與其他專業有所區隔的)專業知能。

With all the talk about “moral hazard” lately, I have realized something: there is a basic flaw in the way the subject is typically discussed with respect to financial corporations.
--------------------------------------
I’m not saying that the people discussing it are necessarily misunderstanding, but the terms in which it’s typically discussed will tend to lead the unwary into sloppy thinking or confusion.

The stockholders would lose what they put into the corporation but no more – exactly the same as when there is deposit insurance.
--------------------------------------
The moral hazard problem exists in general with stockholders, whether or not the assets are insured, because of the limited liability inherent in the corporate form of ownership. There is no “FDIC put” for stockholders; there is merely the “corporate put” that exists for all corporations.

Overall, in the case of commercial banks, removing this incentive is a good thing,
--------------------------------------
because depositors – with limited information and resources – aren’t able to do a very good job of policing and selecting banks. Their attempts to identify “bad banks” often result in “false positives” that precipitate bank runs. It makes much more sense to have regulators – who have more resources and better information – do the policing.

Anonymous said...

So I’ll repeat the point I’ve made several times before. When we talk about the implicit insurance that is
--------------------------------------
(apparently not, as of yesterday) offered to investment banks and the like, the issue is not whether the stockholders are being protected – they’re always protected by the rules of corporate ownership – but whether the creditors are being protected. Are creditors being encouraged to make rash decisions about where to lend their money? Is the process of avoiding those rash decisions (as in the case of commercial banks) an inefficient one that could be done better by someone else (regulators, presumably)?
