Global food policies and politics are major impediments to producing enough food to feed the world's growing population, according to Per Pinstrup-Andersen, Cornell University.
"We've got lots of food in the world," Pinstrup-Andersen says. "The problem is inappropriate policies, not food supply."
Pinstrup-Andersen made those observations during a Heuermann Lecture this week at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Professor Pinstrup-Andersen is the 2001 World Food Prize Laureate and the recipient of several awards for teaching, research and education.
The United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that global food demand will increase by about 70 percent during the next 40 years. "Such growth is achievable and, although international food prices are likely to continue to be volatile, I do not believe the world will experience an increasing trend in real food prices in the foreseeable future," Pinstrup-Andersen says.
Specifically, he notes that food prices have fluctuated dramatically since 2007, and that many experts predicted, incorrectly, the end of inexpensive food. A major problem, he says, is that an estimated 2.9 quadrillion (15 zeros) pounds of food are lost every year throughout the distribution system. That amount would feed the 2 billion people expected to be added to the population. Although it is unrealistic to expect to capture that entire loss, some of it could be saved through better policies and management.
Volatility in food prices will continue, he says, a climate change is one reason. Others include governmental policy, speculation, reduced grain stocks and use of grain in biofuels.
Regions of concern for food distribution include Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. By 2030, estimates are that two-thirds of the world's middle class will live in Asia, compared to just 28 percent in 2009. As their wealth increases, their diets will change – fewer grains, fruits and vegetables; more vegetable oil, meat eggs and fish.
"We need to pay a lot of attention to the new middle class in Asia," Pinstrup-Andersen says.
He believes more money must be invested in research and technology, including genetic modification. He also called for more investment in rural infrastructures in developing countries; orderly trade policies; rules governing land acquisition; and antitrust legislation.
Pinstrup-Andersen is the H.E. Babcock Professor of Food, Nutrition and Public Policy, the J. Thomas Clark Professor of Entrepreneurship and a professor of applied economics at Cornell University, and an adjunct professor of food economics at the University of Copenhagen.
Heuermann Lectures focus on providing and sustaining enough food, natural resources and renewable energy for the world's people, and on securing the sustainability of rural communities where the vital work of producing food and renewable energy occurs. They're made possible by a gift from B. Keith and Norma Heuermann of Phillips, Neb., long-time university supporters with a strong commitment to Nebraska's production agriculture, natural resources, rural areas and people.

Tony Pulis has urged fans to manage their expectations as the Eagles' goal drought continues.
Last weekend's 0-0 stalemate at Sunderland marked four Premier League games without a goal from open play.
Only Glenn Murray's penalty in the 1-1 draw at Swansea City has put a tick in the goals scored column since the 3-1 win over West Brom on February 8.
Pulis has missed the services of Marouane Chamakh, his leading scorer with five league goals, who has struggled with a hamstring injury since that draw in south Wales.
However, Pulis is quick to point out that the lack of goals – Palace have the worst record in the Premier League with just 19 – is nothing new.
"We were not scoring loads of goals at the beginning of the season, something like three in nine games," he said.
"When we came in, we needed a squad that would get us through the season and become better defensively, and we have done that.
"But what we must do is take our chances. In this league, you don't get many and so when they come along, you must make the most of them."
He added: "Glenn Murray may have got 30 goals in the Championship last season, but even if he was fully fit, he wouldn't be doing the same in this league.
"If a striker manages nine or 10 goals then he can consider the season a success.
"This in the top league in the world, and our fans need to remember that."
Palace are monitoring Chamakh's progress with Pulis hoping for an improvement in the striker's condition by the end of the week.
Pulis said: "We will have to wait and see. We will have a closer look towards Thursday and make a decision about the Newcastle game after that."
After last weekend's point, Palace dropped to 17th in the table, just three points above Sunderland who occupy the final relegation spot.
Moreover, the Black Cats have two games in hand on Palace and a slightly superior goal difference.

Olt is working out again
SEATTLE -- Rangers infielder Mike Olt, who has been sidelined for a month because of blurred vision, has been cleared to resume baseball activities. Olt has been seen by several eye specialists and has been taking medication and eye drops to clear his vision.
Olt has been sent to the Rangers' training complex in Surprise, Ariz., to begin working out again. He will work up to game action and then be assigned to Triple-A Round Rock.
Olt, the No. 21 ranked prospect on the MLB.com Top 100, has not played since April 25. At the time, he was hitting .139 with one home run and six RBIs. In 72 at-bats, he struck out 32 times.

Nabil Fekir says he relied on instinct to execute a stunning strike from the halfway line for Lyon on Saturday, having practiced the technique previously.
The France international caught Bordeaux goalkeeper Benoit Costil out with a superb effort to open the scoring in the 10th minute of their Ligue 1 clash at Parc OL.
And Fekir was pleased to see his hard work on the training pitch rewarded with a goal of supreme quality.
"I took the information in before I shot," he said. "I just saw Benoit Costil advanced, I took my chance and I pulled it off.
"It was with the right foot but I did not question myself - I hit it with instinct. This is proof that I have confidence in myself.
"It is a technique that I had already worked on in training and already tried in other games. It's been good for me and the team."
9e - GOLAAAAAZZOOOOOO de @NabilFekir !!! Lob du milieu de terrain au fond des filets !!— Olympique Lyonnais (@OL) August 19, 2017
However, Fekir acknowledged that Lyon's failure to win, as they conceded a stoppage-time equaliser in a 3-3 draw, had dimmed his view of the goal.
"[The goal] started us off but the most important thing in football is that the team wins," he added. "Unfortunately we did not win."

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants needed Jake Peavy to be perfect on Sunday, because the Giants themselves are so, so far from that these days.
And Peavy wasn't perfect; he isn't going to be perfect or a savior.
The best Peavy could do Sunday was to keep the Giants close in a game they repeatedly tried to give away.
End result: The Giants botched a series of plays, particularly in a very sloppy fifth inning, and ended up giving this critical game away to the Dodgers, anyway.
"I can get much better, and I expect to be much better," Peavy said after he threw six credible innings in the Giants' 4-3 loss to the Dodgers at AT&T Park.
"Got to pick the boys up there in the fifth. Got to make some better pitches."
But that's not who Peavy is anymore.
He used to be an ace, years ago; now he's a get-to-the-seventh-inning-with-a-chance guy, and that's what he did Sunday.
The Giants didn't play defense well enough and didn't score enough to cash in a starting performance like that, and they haven't for a while now.
So the Dodgers swept this three-game series and vaulted over the Giants to take a 11/2-game lead in the N.L. West.
So the Giants didn't get a sudden jump-start from their recent trade to acquire Peavy -- just in time for this game.
So all the Giants' other issues are still in red-alert crisis stage.
For instance, new second baseman Dan Uggla committed two errors, including one horrendous ground ball through the wickets in the fourth inning that led to the Dodgers' first run.
Oh, and Uggla also went 0 for 3 with a no-chance strikeout in the bottom of the ninth against L.A. closer Kenley Jansen.
After the game, Giants manager Bruce Bochy stuck up for Uggla generally, but when pressed, allowed that Joe Panik will probably start at second base Monday against Pittsburgh.
There was more. ... In that fateful fifth inning, catcher Buster Posey couldn't corral two Peavy strikeout pitches in the dirt.
The first one put Dee Gordon on base after he beat Posey's throw; the second one scored Gordon when Posey threw to first to get Adrian Gonzalez without checking Gordon at third, and Gordon beat first baseman Adam Duvall's throw home.
"Yeah, it's going to take some time for me and Buster to get to know each other," Peavy said. "He's tremendous behind the plate, we all know how good he is.
"The more we're out there together, I'm sure we'll get a better feel. But at the end of the day, worked well enough together ... just not quite good enough."
The good news for the Giants: Peavy looked comfortable throwing in a Giants uniform against the Giants' bitter rivals, and his stuff wasn't bad.
He came into the game known as a Dodger killer, and while he didn't kill them on Sunday, he certainly didn't look intimidated, either.
If Peavy pitches like this for the rest of the season -- 10 more scheduled starts -- he will give the Giants exactly what they hoped for from him, whether or not Matt Cain can come back this season.
The bad news for the Giants: If they play like this behind Peavy, and score like this, they are still going to lose a lot of his games.
They are going to lose a lot of games if they play like this behind any starter, actually.
"I thought he did a good job," Bochy said of Peavy. "We made him work hard today.
"It's a tough game for us -- made some mistakes, gave them too many outs, and it came back to haunt us.
"But Jake did throw well. He had to battle through some tough innings and kept his poise and overall did a real nice job, I thought."
Peavy didn't bury the Giants on Sunday, and a lot of pitchers might have while the Giants were busily burying themselves.
But he didn't save them, either. That was out of his reach, and if things keep going this way, it will be out of everybody's reach by the end of September.

Van Burkleo credits Chisenhall's maturity for success
KANSAS CITY -- Hitting coach Ty Van Burkleo thinks that a winter of contemplation was all Lonnie Chisenhall needed to go from a middling former prospect to the hottest hitter in baseball.
"I think going into the offseason, he just reflected on the season and did a lot of soul searching for how he can get better," Van Burkleo said. "But a lot of it's mental. A lot of it's just getting his head to where it needs to be."
Chisenhall averaged a .240/.284/.411 line in his first three seasons over 682 plate appearances. This season, he's hitting a Major League-leading .388.
"He's been great, he's matured a lot as a hitter and just as a player," Van Burkleo said. "He's playing for the team, he's playing for the win and I think he's not putting a lot of pressure on himself for personal performance."
The transformation from a scuffling youngster simply bidding for playing time to one of the most potent bats in the league was evidenced in his epic 5-for-5, three-homer, nine-RBI outburst against the Rangers on Monday.
"I think last year he was trying to establish himself a little bit and maybe mentally was trying to do a little too much to put up numbers, and I think this year he's looking to drive the ball through the middle of the diamond," Van Burkleo said.
Van Burkleo sees Chisenhall's breakout as a product of his maturation, and the patience it takes from a player to fully bloom.
"It takes some time as a big leaguer to start feeling comfortable," he said. "You've got to prove to yourself that you belong here, and this good start that he's gotten off to has really helped that."

For many women, natural childbirth is a goal and about 65% of those who have a vaginal birth will do so without having pain relief provided by an epidural.
Dr Sarah Buckley, author of Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering is a huge advocate of natural childbirth, believing epidurals can, significantly interfere with some of the major hormones of labour and birth and therefore have a negative effect on how labour proceeds.
The GP/physician and mother of four has these tips for women hoping for an epidural-free birth:
Because labours can be long and taxing, your labour will greatly benefit if you can keep mobile throughout and can call on energy stores.
Centring activities like yoga and meditation techniques help you use your breath to relax and focus.
If you're giving birth in a labour ward, or even a birthing centre, plan ahead to bring some stuff from home that you know will make you feel at ease, like music or cuddly blankets. Make sure your birth support person is aware of what you'd like as you may be too busy to do the decorating yourself.
Natural labour gets the oxytocin flowing at high levels through your body. This hormone of love along with accompanying beta endorphins can provide a natural pain relief which spurs your labour on.
Listen to what your body wants when it comes to movement, sound and breathing. If you need to groan, do it. If hands and knees make you more comfortable, go with it.
These birth advocates for hire can have very positive effects on birth outcomes. In fact studies have shown if a doula is present the chances of having an epidural can lessen by up to 60%.
It's animal instinct to want to retreat to a softly lit quiet place to get down to the business of giving birth. It may be difficult to dim the lights in some hospitals but talk to the midwife about possibilities.
Sometimes drugs are administered to bring on and speed up labour, creating longer and stronger contractions. These can be more difficult to manage without pain relief so talk through alternatives or get your support person to, with the midwife or doctor.
Make sure they know that you'd like to avoid an epidural if possible so they can help you through the difficult patches

The 9 Air Shows You Should See This Summer
Zero is a tilt-rotor that can take off and hover like a helicopter, then rotate the rotor blades by 90 degrees for cruising flight, with lift provided by the wings. Unusual features include detachable wings for converting to pure helicopter mode and the ability to recharge the batteries while on the ground by windmilling, or angling the blades into the wind so they become turbines.
After years of secretive development—the first unmanned test flight was in 2011—Project Zero's creators revealed it on March 4. It's a two-seater, but no details have been released about its flight performance or endurance. We do know that the exterior design by Stile Bertone, previously known for working with Ferrari and Lamborghini, makes it eye-catching as well as aerodynamic.
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the Black Hornet by Proxy Dynamics is the world's first combat-proven nano (6 inches or smaller) air vehicle. The British Army has deployed several hundred in Afghanistan since 2012. The diminutive craft has proven highly effective at stealthy scout missions, even in wind and rain.
Black Hornet carries three cameras and GPS navigation accurate enough to call down airstrikes or artillery fire. When it approaches the end of its 20-minute flight time, it can automatically return to its start point. The Black Hornet's small carrying case includes three helicopters and a control unit, and an operator can get one airborne in a couple of minutes. The U.S. Army is now testing the device.

Knight Rider, Pirate Raiders, more...
This winter, DST's third assortment of Minimates Vehicles will release. This thrill-ride assortment will feature a new Pirate Raiders pirate ship and a Minimates MAX Armored Personnel Carrier, but also KITT himself, star of the Knight RiderTV series in the 1980s along with some guy named Hasselhoff.
The 4-inch-long vehicle will come with a two-inch Michael Knight, with opening doors and room for a passenger, and it will only be available at Toys"R"Us in late November, along with Robert Deal's pirate ship (with Undercover Anne Bonny) and a police-colors APC (with driver). But, since KITT needs his nemesis, we're also releasing the evil KARR with Garthe Knight in that wave's specialty-store and comic-shop-exclusive assortment, along with a pirated British Navy ship (with officer) and an arctic-colors APC (with driver).
In addition, a special-edition version of KITT, featuring his Super Pursuit Mode transformation, will be available a month later, just in time for the new year and only through Diamond Comics Distributors' Previews catalog.

I heard that but then I thought it was deemed to be a rumor.
I read a lot of posts about David West's control of the locker room. Have never heard that from any of the players. West says Frank sets the tone for the team in practice, locker room and game. Wonder who I believe?? I would like to believe David is the wise old pro that the guys listen to and want to be like. But, I also believe Frank is the one who determines who plays and how long. Bynum's first job is to show Vogel and the coaching staff he can fit in and learn this system. Otherwise, I doubt the rest of the team ever have a need or chance to "control" him. I also agree that this is a really fun team to follow with some great guys on it.
I think people just get the general impression that he doesn't care. That and his on court actions people remember the most are 1) Flagarent foul on Barea 2) Taking an ill advised 3 3) More positively, getting a dunk on Shaq after he dunked on him and then almost getting into a fight 4) Not being on the court in the first place. His role as part of the Kobe/Pau championship teams get overshadowed by those stuff.
And you find these to be plausible?
I agree with you! I just hope it's not 'literaly'! I'd hate to see Lance get ejected for really tearing off chunks of JJ and chewing on them!
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we have Andrew Bynum, Luis Scola, and Danny Granger coming off our BENCH. If someone would have told you two years ago that this would be the Pacers 2014 bench, you would have laughed in their face. Granted, Bynum and Granger missed last year because of injury and aren't what they used to be, but still.......
This is the type of move that you make when you're going for a championship. For as great as we've been this season, we haven't eliminated Miami yet. A low risk/high reward move like this is exactly what you do when you're trying to get over that hump. When Bird took over last summer, he wasn't going to be satisfied until he exhausted every possible option to give us a championship in 2014.
So is the coach wife thing baseless or does it have traction?

"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
My guess is there might really be truth to it or they didn't want it to spread like wildfire like the Delonte story did(even though ESPN never acknowledged it) but that was because it involved LeBron they might've if it was Bynum.
We as Pacers fans haven't been able to say it for awhile but with one hundred % conviction.
this season is BANNER or bust. wasn't long ago we were just hoping for an 8th seed.
after reading all the chatter about how dysfunctional the cavs are, more and more I get the feeling Bynum just wants to win. I cant remember any locker room issues while w the lakers, it was mainly knee issues. hell anyone can bump heads w kobe. reference shaq, and d12.
philly?? bad team as well.
bottom line is this: we needed a third big. and if I had my preference b/t Oden or Bynum,,, I would go Bynum. win a Title this season and I could see this team bringing back everyone that has bought into the program.
Well, of course the Cavs asked him to remove it. That would be the case whether it was true or not, most certainly doesn't mean its more likely to be true.
I remember Jarred Jack saying Bynum was working hard everyday, doing what the training staff told him and that he was making good progress. That is what Jack had to say just when the Cavs released him, opposite of what other reports said. We all know the Cavs are a mess.
He's a Pacer now so I'll be rooting hard for it to work out.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
True but they never did that with the Delonte story though which involved a far bigger star. Plus its a sports gossip website it posts a ton of stuff about teams/coaches etc and no team has ever asked them to remove any of the content as far as I can recall which is why this stood out.
Regardless we'll never know so until proven otherwise its not legit.
If our team is so weak mentally that one man (who could be sent home at the drop of a dime without Larry batting an eye) could disrupt our chemistry indefinitely then we are much further from a championship level TEAM than we thought... No worries mon!
Nothing in life worth having comes easy.
I think I read something about the supposed "coach's wife" story didn't have much to stand on cause the "supposed coach" isn't even married.

Yes I find any of those scenarios as possible. They have happened before. I chose not to think everything is iron clad. If chemistry and play can strengthen if a player is added... Why is it so dismissed that if a player is added the chemistry and play can be hurt?

I don't wanna equate us to the cheatriots level and its a team I just despise but I use it as an analogy because when a team has solid ownership and a vet or two with leadership a solid organization can get away w these types of moves.
alas rasheed Wallace w pistons back n day as well. I always despised how the cheatriots would pickup has beens or guys w bad issues and it more often than not benefit them (corey Dillon, randy moss, aquib talib, so on so forth) and if dudes stepped out of line (haynesworth, ochocinco) they toss em to the curb.
pacers cant play it like big market teams and go over the cap to improve. we got to find ways to improve by finding players that are written off and that can come in at a minimal risk.
we may disagree on the risk part... but this team needed a 3rd big and with our cap situation it was not gonna happen via trade. at least finding a viable option.
put simply. if Bynum steps out of line Bird wont hesitate to send him his walking papers. he did it with tinsley at 6M per. he aint gonna think twice if bynum doesn't get with the program.
the upside is bynum wants to win and wants to contribute and that will be huge for our 2nd unit. I like what mahinmi has given recently but we just found a former all star on the cheap. sure it aint bynum from the lakers but we don't really need him to be either.
im sorry... but the game he played vs the bulls where he dominated noah is valid reason to roll the dice.

Having tried the more expensive brands of Tomato Soup last week I decided to see for myself what the Everyday Value Tesco''s Soup was like. The first thing I was pleased with was the price! 25p as compared with 80p plus for named brands. The Packaging: Tesco''s soup is packed in a metal can with a light white/cream coloured labelled can. The can size is 400g. There is a chart showing contents etc. Yes the label looks basic - but all the things someone buying the can needs to know are on the label. The food contents, calories etc are all clearly marked. There is a picture of the can content as well. I liked the large size of the calories label. The buyer can quickly see what they are getting. Actual Soup: On openning the can - I saw the actual soup The colour is a really bright orange so bright that at first it seemed a little off putting. There is a good sweet smell of tomatoes which was nice. The liquid is much tinner than a named brand - and that was even more evident when heating the soup up on a gas hob. Taste: The best part! After warming up I really enjoyed the taste of this soup, yes it is thinner, which is really noticeable, than so called better brands but the taste is just as good. There is not so much of a cream back ground to the taste compared to a more expensive brand but for me at least that is ok. As the soup warmed up the great small of Tomatoes came more and more. Heat up time on gas hob was about 4 minutes - I do like my soup hot. Did also try to heat up a can in Mircowave...Not sure the taste was as good Microwaved but others may have a different experience here. With some bread this is a good mid day meal, at a low price too. This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
I bought this 'Everyday Value' version of Tomato soup because I was shocked at the price of Tesco's own brand at 65p- both 400g- the value soup is only 24p so a lot cheaper. The leading brand is even dearer at 89p.
I've looked up the ingredients of both the value soup and the brand leader to compare and see why there's such a price difference.
Tesco Value soup:
Tomato Purée (55%), Water, Reconstituted Whey Powder (from Milk), Sugar, Modified Maize Starch, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Mustard Flour, Spice Extracts, Flavouring, Garlic Oil.
Leading Brand:
Tomatoes (84%), Water, Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Modified Cornflour, Salt, Dried Skimmed Milk, Milk Proteins, Cream, Spice Extracts, Herb Extract, Citric Acid and free from any additives.
The calories between the two aren't great 100 cals per half can for value and 118 cals per half can of branded. Value has less fat but not by much.
At a glance it becomes apparent why there is such a difference. Tomato puree at the top of the list has put me off more than the taste did.......
The can has had a facelift, it's now cream coloured with relevant red and burgundy pictures on the label. You're instructed to empty the contents into a pan and gently heat without boiling. Alternately the soup can be microwaved again taking care not to boil it. Boiling tomato soup makes it bitter tasting and 'spotty'. It doesn't take long to warm through 5 minutes or so
The appearance of the soup is a pallid orange, it's quite thin in consistency and doesn't smell of very much, it's like the sauce Tesco use for their value spaghetti and meatballs. After heating it and pouring into mugs it was time for the taste test. It's not very nice, there's a metallic flavour going on and I found it quite sweet but bitter at the same time. It's also too thin for me but for 24p that's what I'd expect, I didn't expect it to be so pale and insipid though...
I'm in two minds whether I'd recommend it because on the one hand it is edible and is cheap, on the other it does taste metallic. Personally I won't buy it again therefore I'd say don't bother.
2 stars
One of the things that I spend far too much on is food shopping! With Christmas on its way and with so many people to buy for this year I decided when looking at my finances to try make little cut backs here and there and so the other day whilst in Tesco I made it my mission to buy as many Tesco Everyday Value items as possible not only to see if I could eat well on a budget but to also see if I was simply a brand snob and wasting money!
I have in the past bought Tesco Everyday Value items, Smart Price, Basics and so and on found a lot of really great buys but one thing I had shied away from was soup and that's really cos I am a huge Heinz fan as a rule....though pricey they are!
This can however cost me just 24p and usually with tomato soup I would pick up Heinz and that costs around 89p a can so I was pleased to be making quite a saving on this one!
The Packaging:
This soup comes in a mainly cream coloured labelled can and on the front of it there is a photograph shown of the soup and we are clearly told what it is and who it is by and there are little pictures shown of bread, bowls and saucepans and so and told that the soup is free from artificial preservatives, flavours and colours and there is an at a glance nutritional chart clearly displayed and then on the back of the can other information given includes the ingredients and allergy advice, there is a full nutritional chart stated along with cooking advice and the size of the can is stated which is 400g and contact details for the manufacturer (Tesco) are given. It is a cheap looking product this one from the labelling of it and appears very basic however all the information you should need is clearly displayed on it the only real thing missing for me is a ring-pull but hey even that isn't the end of the world to be fair!
The Soup:
Bright orange in colour, with a sweet aroma of tomatoes to it the first thing that struck me was how runny the consistency of it was and that there was very little 'body' to it. However I battled on and popped it in a dish and in the microwave for bout 4 minutes (you can heat this on the hob and in a saucepan for around the same time if you prefer). The smell of this when cooking was nice enough though I did expect the soup to thicken a little and it didn't.
However taste wise this was simply ok. I mean this was a bit thin and I missed the creaminess of more expensive brands such as Heinz to be honest and I didn't find it so rich in flavour however I was impressed that at least it did taste tomatoey and wasn't over seasoned or too sweet but like I say I would have liked it to be a bit a thicker in its consistency and a bit more rich in a natural tomato taste. I couldn't taste any spices or herbs in this and so it was rather plain in flavour, but filling it was. Would I purchase it again?....Hmmmm I am not sure cos although it wasn't awful I do prefer more pricey soups by the looks of it! However on the upside with this soup a whole tin only contains 200 calories and 0.4g of Saturated Fat which I do appreciate and like I have mentioned already it is perfectly edible!
Only available from Tesco stores.
This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
After having the telephone call to pick my daughter up early from school after she had been poorly, I nipped to Tesco to get something light for her tea.
In my own opinion I feel that Tomato soup is one of the greatest comfort foods in the history of comfort foods, and my daughters' favourite comfort food also happens to be tomato soup.
When I initially looked at the shelves with tinned soup on, the prices on the more expensive varieties (Heinz, Baxters, Campbells etc) all felt quite off putting as they were over a pound in some instances.
I am on a tight budget - as I suppose many are these days. On closer inspection of the shelves I discovered, the Tesco value soup range residing on the lowest shelf, price - 17p for a 400g tin of Tesco's value soup - in different flavours.
I read the ingredient labels on a number of tins of tomato soup, some contained wheat and gluten (which both myself and my daughter are allergic to), and seeing the value tin (at 17p a throw) and gluten / wheat free to boot, I thought I'd get some and see what my daughter thought.
All tucked up in bed, with a hottie and some juice, my daughter said she'd try some.
I examined the soup closely whilst heating it up in a pan I noticed that the texture looked creamy and smooth, and once heated up I tested it, it tasted really nice. I was pleasantly suprised that although it was only 17p, I feel the soup would give one of the more expensive varieties a good run for their money.
In my opinion, you really can't beat Tesco's value range - and it's value tomato soup is no different. What they save on the simple, but easily identifiable packaging, does not make a difference to the product inside the box (or tin in this case)!
So, in these days of strife where money isn't too plentiful, I am going to continue purchasing Tesco value produce and the tomato soup is at the top of my shopping list. So when they say - every little helps - this tasty little number helps save the pennies as well.
My fave soup is Tomato and if there is a cheaper option then Heinz, then I will try it. So when I decided I fancied some soup I thought I'd check out what options Tesco's had and when I saw the Value range was only 17p, straight into the basket it went.
I'll admit that I didn't have high hopes with this soup as the difference in price compared to the major brands is quite a difference so I did think that it would be inferior. Unfortunately, I was correct.
On opening the tin the smell just isn't there. Only when I had poured it into a pan could a detect a slight tomatoish smell. The consistency when I was pouring it out was very watery but I hoped it would thicken up when heated. Again I was wrong. I don't like soup to be thick like a broth, but to me this was just like coloured water.
I was hoping that the taste test would clinch it so that it would end up being a fave, but it was so disappointing. There was just a tiny hint of a tomato taste when eating and it was just like water with a spoon of cheap tomato sauce stirred through it.
Although I would never eat it again as soup I think it would be good as a base for other dishes, for example casseroles and stews. Maybe adding pasta will make it more enjoyable.
To me this is the worst product in the Value range and in future I will be buying Tesco standard range Tomato soup, no matter how much money I would be saving.
I always keep a few tins of soup in the cupboard because it's so convenient. I am quite socked at how expensive some of the leading brands were, so a while ago I decided to try Tesco Value equivalent, and I'm so glad I did.
The soup costs 17p for a 400g tin. A Heinz equivalent would be over 80p, so it's a great saving. The soup has basic packaging with no ring pull, but I don't think that matters when you are paying such a reasonable price for the soup. The label is Tesco Value red blue and white and is very easy to spot on the shelf.
To heat the soup you simply pop it in a saucepan and warm it gently for a few minutes until piping hot. You can also cook it in the microwave, but I feel that this can impair the flavour of some soups so prefer to stick to the hob.
The soup is a typical orange/red colour, and much like any other tinned tomato soup. It has a medium consistency and isn't overly thin or thick, although I do feel that it's a little thinner than leading brands versions. It doesn't have much of a smell, but has a slight tomato tang if you want to sniff your bowl!
It tastes really nice. The flavour isnt at all weak, and has a great tomato tang to it. It's creamy, but not too rich and is very filling. I usually eat a whole can of soup but after three quarters of my bowl I was starting to feel quite full up! It seem slightly less acidic than heinz tomato soup too, so makes a nice alternative. I gave my other half some for lunch not long ago and he said he prefered it to Heinz.
Half a can contains:
Calories - 95
Sugar - 7.8g
Fat - 4.0g
Saturates - 0.2g
Salt - 1.1g
Protein - 1.2g
Carbohydrates - 13.4g
Fibre - 0.8g
(suitable for vegetarians)
So it's not unhealthy either, and it's pretty filling. I would really recommend trying this, it's only 17p and tastes delicious!
It seems I am always trying to save money lately or rather just make the money go further. So when a friend mentioned the basics soups can be quite good I thought I would check some out. The first lot I tried were from Sainsburys - I did not try the tomato one but my husband did a couple of times and always felt the need to add some pasta or beans.
So whilst in Tesco I decided to pick up a couple of their value Tomato Soups for 19p per can. The can looks like you would expect something from the Tesco value range to look, similar to the dooyoo picture but with a red stripe round where it says Tomato Soup.
If you shake the tin it doesn't make the noise of being a really thin soup but probably sounds slightly thinner than a brand like Heinz. But hey Heinz it more than 3 times the price so what do you expect.
The first time a tin was opened with a tin opener, (as there never seems to be a ring pull on value items, as it would be more tin therefore more money). My husband opened the tin and automatically added some pasta as it was a cheap tomato soup. I didn't have any the first time and asked how it was. He replied that it was ok and thicker than the other cheap brand and probably didn't really need the pasta in.
So the next time I opened the tin and noticed it did smell of tomato soup, the colour was what I would expect so that was a good start. As I poured in into the pan to heat I noticed it was thinner than heinz like I had expected but it certainly wasn't watery it was quite thick compared to other cheapo brands.
And the taste well it tasted like tomato soup not quite as tomatoey as heinz but cetainly good enough for my taste especially at 19p.
So this soup is now always on my big monthly shop where I buy about 4 tins.
It can be heated in the microwave or on the hob.
Half a tin (200g) has 95 calories, 0.4g of sodium and 7.8g of sugars.
If you want to study the nutrition in further details then you will have to go and check a tin out.
I love soup of all varieties and I wanted to see if I could find one that was a lower brand to see how it compared to the higher brands, some lower ones can be a little bland and weak and do not taste of the flavour they are supposed to be, and with Tomato I thought it would probably be the same.
The can is very basic and does not look that attractive in my opinion and for a 400g tin from Tesco Value range for only 18p it was expected, but once I opened the tin, the smell was quite pleasant and I was quite surprised at the thickness of the soup, when I poured it into a saucepan it was nice and creamy.
The colour is quite good and not as pale as I thought it would be, the taste has a nice amount of Tomato, and the texture is nice and smooth, it is quite a good consistency and not at all bland and I do not think you can grumble at the quantity either, as the soup almost fills the inside of the tin.
I found it to be very filling, as I have tried other soups that are like water but this one is fine for the price, and considering it is very cheap I think it is a good buy and very good value.
We can only try different foods, low or high priced to see if we like them because not everybody's tastes are the same in my opinion.
I have had this soup for lunch many times at work and poured it into a dish and placed it into the microwave and it has satisfied me perfectly until my main meal time.
I like to go fishing and sometimes when it is cold I put some of this soup into a flask and it warms me up and keeps me going until I get home.
In my opinion I think this soup is a good one to buy and for the price, it is good for anyone that is trying to cut back on their shopping bill, and this is a good soup for a cheap price and I will continue to buy it as I think it is superb.
I do not believe in paying more for a product if you find one that suits your taste and this one suits me perfectly and we all have different tastes and we can only try them to see for ourselves in my opinion.
For half a can the calorie content is only 95 and 4g of fat of which saturates 0.2g.
I rate it 5 stars.
This will be a relatively short review as there's only so much you can say about a tin of soup, but I will try my best.
What does it cost?
Currently 17p for a 400g tin (very favourable in comparison to other brands).
As with all tesco value products the packaging is a little dull, boring and dated but this doesn't bother me in the least - I'm only going to chuck the packaging away. As long as it tells me what the product is and the ingredients, I really don't care what it looks like. Tesco spend less on their design so they can charge less for the product and pass the saving onto consumers.
What does it taste like?
Obviously taste is subjective however I will give my opinion on this. Compared to heinz tomato soup - heinz is certainly the superior product, but I find it hard to justify the vast difference in price between the two products.
For your 17p tesco provide you with a decent tasting soup that doesn't stretch the budget. The flavour is strong and slightly creamy. The texture is nice and there are no lumps.
A very reasonably priced and decent tasting tin of soup. If you're feeling the pinch with money definately give the tesco value tomato soup a try.
There are a few Tesco Value products that you would be perfectly justified in turning your nose up at, but surprisingly enough, Tesco Value Tomato Soup just isn't one of those products.
Don't get me wrong, this soup isn't incredible, but its definitely passable, and only marginally inferior to brands like Heinz, or even Tesco's own main range. Although the packaging looks really cheap and unpleasant, it tastes lovely and strong, and the texture of the soup itself is really appealing, very smooth with no awkward lumps or chunks in it.
A whole tin of this can be just a little irksome to eat in one go, but naturally it goes really nice with slices of bread or toast. Personally, I've found that adding a little bit of black pepper to this soup gives it that extra kick that it needs. It also makes an ideal cooking sauce for tomato pasta dishes and the like, a fine substitute for arrabiata.
Its best prepared on the hob, in my opinion, and at just under 30 pence for a 400g tin it is definitely superb value for money. Its just one of those Tesco Value products thats more-or-less as good as the things its too scared to compete against. It tastes sweet and the aroma is positively intoxicating. I've spent a lot of time trying different kinds of tomato soup, and I honestly think that this one's got to be way up my list.
Its fairly good for you too, and not at all fattening, and there's no need to add butter or salt, since this light meal simply doesn't call for it.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Tesco Value Tomato soup to all but the snobbiest of soup snobs. Give it a try.
Bah humbug, soup for winter! It isn't a meal is it? I got up really late last night and made myself some soup because I was freezing cold. That is where soup comes in handy, not so much as a meal, but more as a winter warmer.
Usually I stick with Heinz, but I have tried Tesco soups too. If you can get over the exceedingly bad packaging and hide it at the bottom of your basket so nobody can see you buying it, then this can be a handy item to have at the back of the cupboard for emergencies.
No ring pull, like on Heinz, though sometimes these can be fiddly anyway, so I don't really mind about that. When your pour it out, it comes out quite quickly and isn't as viscous as the Heinz variety, even at the initial pouring stage.
Best heated in the microwave or the hob. I do mine on the hob for a few minutes on a low to medium heat, then remove just when it starts to bubble. If you overheat it, then you will lose some of the flavour. Ah yes, the flavour...not horrendous like you might expect. The tomato pushes through with an effervescence kick, though lacks the underlying sweetness of the Heinz soup. There are no other spices lurking in it, so it would probably please children who like subtle flavours. It will not thrill soup connoisseurs who crave creaminess and depth of flavour.
So why buy it? Well it's very cheap at about twenty pence a tin, so you could buy five for a quid and when you get snowed in for a week you need not panic too much! It is not as thick and tasty as some branded soups, but it does the trick if you want a snack. Caterers might like it and it would also be useful for cooking sauces to add extra depth. Try it in chill con carne perhaps?
I have recently tried the Tesco Value tin of tomato soup and this is my review.
I have been buying some items from the Tesco Value range recently to see if they are any good and I think some of them are good but some are rubbish and I would not buy them again.
The Tesco value tomato soup is a product I had not wanted to try cos I love Heinz tomato soup so much but I thought I would try it once to see if it was good because it was so cheap I was pleased at the low price. The tin only cost about 20 pence but when I usually buy the Heinz tin of tomato soup this costs around 70 pence so as you can see I made a good saving.
The Heinz tomato soup has a ring pull on the can which is easier for me to open because I do not have a lot of strength in my hands because of arthritis so the Tesco value tin of tomato soup was a bit harder for me to open as I had to use my tin opener and this is not easy for me.
I poured the soup into a pan and went to heat it and I did not like how it looked to thin. The colour was ok but it looked more orange than Heinz tomato soup.
It did not take long to heat up the soup and it looked ok once it was heated but just ok. I did not like the colour of the soup to much and there was not much smell.
When I tasted the soup I had some bread with it and I think it made an ok meal. I would not rush to get it again but for the cheap price I am not to bothered that it was not the best soup I have tried. If money was tight then this would do but it would not be my first choice.
The taste of the value tomato soup was a bit acidy for me and it has a bit of an after taste that I am not used to when eating tomato soup. The taste got a bit much and I could not finish the bowl but it was a large sized bowl so this was not to bad.
I think it is very good value because the tin is a good size and is 400g and this would feed two people for lunch or one person for a larger meal.
I would suggest giving it a try because some people might like the taste of it and for less than twenty pence it is not the end of the world if it does not suit you and you have not lost much by trying it.
I would buy it again if I had to watch my budget but I still prefer the Heinz soup to this Tesco value tomato soup.
Me and my partner were avid heinz fans and really didn't vary from this too much when having tomato soup however when we bought our house and moved out we decided to try different and cheaper things to see whether we can decrease our shopping bill a bit.
Having seen this on the shelf for only 17p I thought it would be worth trying compared to heinz at 65p. What did I have to loose notibng apart from 17p! I always cook my soup in the microwave so I double checked this to make sure and depending on your microwave settings it would take between 3-4 minutes. Perfect for a busy household.
It can of course also be warmed up on the home in a suace pan gently heating the soup through this would take again between 3 -4 minutes.
It says the can of 400g contains 2 portions but if like me you can eat a whole can (plus bread) you may need to get 2 which is still cheaper than 1 can of heinz soup.
The only thing is the can doesn't have a ring pull so you do need to open with a can opener and be careful as the top part of the tin falls into the can and you have to scoop it out making mess everywhere.
When opening the can you can smell the tomato-ey flours and it is quite a rich orange-red colour much like heinz. However the soup is a little thinner than leading brands and although it tastes really nice it doesn't pack as much flavour as a heinz soup. You can stored any left over soup in a container in your fridge for up to 2 days reduce the wastage.
Nutrional Values:
400g a whole can or 2 portions (according to the can)
190 Calories
2.4g Protein
26.8g Carbs

1.6g Fibre

It is quite high in salt and a whole can of this would contain 36% of RDA of Salt, however the other figures show it is quite low in everything else.
I would recommend that you keep a few tins in the cupboard because they will get used and they taste really quite nice and at 17p each you can't go wrong.
As you may be aware from my latest posts I am on a mission to drive the food bill down, this month I have bought mainly Tesco Value food to test it all out. I hate sandwiches and now the weather has turned miserable I like to have soup for lunch to warm me up!
This soup comes in a 400g tin - unlike Heinz there is no ring pull and you will need a can opener - took it to work and got caught out like this so no lunch for DTDT that day!.
You can heat the soup either on the stove or the microwave, the powers that be at work don't trust us with a stove so I zapped mine - benefit of course is less washing up!
It took 4 mins in all to cook because they recommend that you allow it to stand for 1 minute before eating. Initial thoughts were that it wasn't as watery as I expected from reading some of the reviews on here, it seemed a little browner in colour to my usual brand but smelt delicious!
The details on the can lead me to believe they expect you to eat half a can but that didn't fill me up so I ate the lot! Its 190 calories a can which I think is 5 higher than heniz my usual soup but I have to say I enjoyed it and for 17p a tin compared about 50p it's a winner for me, went down really well with some home made bread, its slightly more tangy that heinz but i found a splash of salt and pepper sorted that out.
I'm not afraid to try economy products, and find many of them to be just as good as expensive brands, and I don't see the sense in paying more when you don't have to. I have a ridiculous amount of tins and jars in my cupboards at the moment and am trying to get them used up. One of the products I've recently tried is Tesco's value tomato soup.
The soup comes in a standard can and the label is actually not too bad - I doesn't really scream 'cheap' in the way that some other value products can, and features a picture of the finished product as well as all the other standard information you'd expect the label to include. It does have a standard opening - no fancy ring pulls here - but that shouldn't be a problem for too many people.
On opening the soup I found that it was quite a rich colour, though perhaps a little more orange looking than the premium brands. It had a nice tomatoey smell too, without being too strong.
You can heat this soup on the hob or in the microwave and both ways take approximately four minutes to make - soup really is the ultimate in convenience food! I always choose to heat mine on the hob, which just seems that little bit easier.
When it was heated the colour of the soup seemed to be even more orange than it had been to begin with, but otherwise looked nice. The soup had quite a nice thickness - I must admit it was not quite as thick as Heinz, but then this one doesn't include cream, so I suppose that's to be expected.
I really enjoyed the taste of this soup, it had a thick, rich tomato flavour but also a quite noticeable tanginess to it. The tangy taste took a little bit of getting used to, but overall I found that I enjoyed it - although I do think this was a tell tale sign that it came from a cheaper brand.

The soup is suitable for vegetarians and a 400g tin costs just 17p from Tesco. This is great value when compared to the Tesco own brand costing 44p and Heinz costing 82p -that's nearly five times the price!
Overall, I was very pleased with this soup. Admittedly there is a slight difference in the taste of this to the taste of premium brands, but it is minimal, and I'd much prefer to keep buying this for just 17p a tin than splashing out 82p a time on Heinz!

Stevenage cyclists are reversing summertime!
To mark the end of summertime, 400 cyclists have already signed up to join in the challenge ride from Stevenage to Saffron Walden.
Organiser Jim Brown said they have some interesting entries already: "We have a cyclist coming over from Tokyo to take part, not to mention the family of Olympic cyclist Laura Trott! You can still enter and there is even a shorter ride the Emit Lite for the less ambitious Sunday riders."
We hope to break the record of 500 riders last year.
Jim Brown, Emitremmus Organiser
You can find an entry form and more information on www.stevenagectc.org.uk. It's too late to enter in advance now, so print it off and bring it to the start by 9.30 a.m. on Sunday morning.
The first wave of 'Emitremmus' riders, the early birds, will be set off from Costello's Café at the Sailing Centre in Fairlands Valley Park (SG2 0BL) by the Mayor of Stevenage, Councillor Jack Pickersgill, at 9.45a.m.
The main start will be in waves from 10a.m.
"Emit Lite" will follow at 10.30a.m.
The 101 kilometres (63 miles) route will take you through Aston, Benington, Whempstead, Dane End, Nasty, Westmill, Aspenden, Buntingford, Hare Street (control / refreshments), Brent Pelham, Clavering, Newport, Saffron Walden (control / refreshments), Great Chishill, Barkway, Reed, Therfield (control / refreshments), Sandon, Luffenhall, Weston and back to Stevenage. The "Lite" route goes direct between Hare Street and Barkway.
Emitremmus is an audax event with a lot of extras. It is also part of the CTC tourist competition. Late entries are only £10, much cheaper than many other challenge rides because Stevenage CTC are keen to encourage participation.

We are so diligent at the Inn to recycle bottles, cans, and newspapers, use paper bags instead of plastics, use sprays instead of aerosols… but it never occurred to us to help the environment in terms of saving energy with light bulbs. You know the kind that uses less wattage, lasts for years and years and years, but cost more that the usual bulbs. I have resisted because of "ambiance" that I like to have with lighting at the Inn and the many "dimmer switches" we have throughout the house ( which are not recommended for these more efficient light bulbs).
So I had continued to use "regular" bulbs.
However, as of this writing, over the last month, actually since the New Year, we have changed over 75% of our lighting to the soft white efficient light bulbs. I feel good about this… really. These bulbs that we have switched to take a little longer to fully illuminate, but I am glad we made this choice. Makes me feel like we are really greening up, as they say.
We hope that our next utility bill will give us just a little more "green" in our pockets, too!

does anyone practice any of these arts or similar arts?
i used to do both qigong and taiji (also wingchun but thats pretty much just a fighting art) and i remember being a much better meditator when i was doing these things.
my girlfriend does yoga sometimes, she used to do it more, (she actually calls it "playing yoga" which i find cute) but i think it's all just physical for her. and a monk i'm friends with also does yoga (he learned in india) but again just a physical thing for him.
my ex zen master studied yoga in india but quit saying he only does meditaion now so maybe it is useless to meditators at some point?
i dont know.
what are your practices? your thoughts?

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Different Sort of Problem
Hi I am now 57 years old. Up until I was 48 I wanted sex 3 to 4 times a day every day. My wife had a serious problem and was put on a drug to curb her anxiety. Since taking this drug her libido has gone from wanting sex 3 to 4 times per day to maybe once per month. When we were having sex previously I would last maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Now, I feel I am shrinking as I used to be around 7 1/2 inches and now I am lucky it is 4 inches when erect and only last about 1 minute. I am on blood pressure medication and have put on considerable weight due to back and knee injury about 5 years ago. Is there something I can do to get my size and libido back in sinc as well as getting hers back for her. In my mind I would like sex more often but I don`t feel I can perform anymore so why bother? Please help
Your questions are many and can not be answered with the scope of this communication. However, I will try to make you understand some of your problems. 1) It takes two to tango. Therefore, if your wife has loss of interest then you both will miss on sexual pleasures. She needs to see an expert. 2) The size of an organ won't change. However, lack of adequate blood circulation, loss of elasticity of the corporal body and excessive pubic fat pad causing the shaft to retract are some of the few reasons of elusion of reduced penile size. 3) Premature ejaculation is a treatable condition. You should discuss this with your urologist.
