Reduce Food Waste and Stretch Your Food Dollars

0
U.S. Food and Drug Administration

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Did you know more than one-third of all available food in the U.S. goes uneaten through loss or waste? That means Americans are throwing out about 133 billion pounds of uneaten food each year. To help you stretch your food dollars, understand date labels, and reduce food waste, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is sharing the following tips and resources:

At the Grocery Store  

  • When shopping for food, make a shopping list before going to the grocery store. When at the store, buy only what you need and stick to your shopping list. Be mindful of items that have a limited shelf life.
  • Purchase “imperfect” fruits or vegetables, which often get left behind at the grocery store because of physical imperfections, but are not damaged or rotten.

In the Kitchen: Storage and Prep

  • Check the temperature setting of your fridge. Keep the temperature at 40° F or below to keep foods safe. The temperature of your freezer should be 0° F.
  • Use the FoodKeeper App for information on how to safely store different foods to maintain freshness and quality.
  • Use your freezer! Freezing is a great way to store most foods to maintain their quality until you are ready to eat them. Freeze in portions, label, and keep it airtight. Blanch fruits and vegetables before freezing, and defrost all foods safely.
  • Become familiar with the date labels that appear on packaged foods. These dates are the manufacturers’ estimate of when the food will be at its best quality and flavor and if stored properly before and after opening, most foods will still be good to eat even after the quality-based date label on the package has passed. However, if a food shows signs of spoilage like change in color, consistency, or texture, or smells bad, you should throw it out.

At Home and in Your Community: Cooking and Donating Food

  • Use “imperfect” fruits or vegetables to whip up healthy smoothies and soups for your friends or family. No one will notice the difference!
  • Be creative and have fun. Create new dishes and snacks with leftovers and items you think may spoil soon. Have a cook-off to find out who can come up with the best dish.
  • Reach out to local food banks, food rescue organizations, pantries, and shelters to donate extra food you have available.

But that’s not all you can do! Check out these FDA resources to learn:

Acura Sweeps Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta

Acura swept the six-hour TireRack.com Grand Prix at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta today, as Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor piloted their Acura ARX-05 prototype to the overall honors, while the trio of Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi took their Acura NSX GT3 Evo to the win in the GTD class

– First double win for Acura in IMSA competition with victories in DPi and GTD

– Helio Castroneves, Ricky Taylor score second consecutive overall win of 2020

– Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi claim GTD honors

BRASELTON, Ga., Sept. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura swept the six-hour TireRack.com Grand Prix at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta today, as Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor piloted their Acura ARX-05 prototype to the overall honors, while the trio of Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi took their Acura NSX GT3 Evo to the win in the GTD class.

Acura swept the six-hour TireRack.com Grand Prix at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta today, as Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor piloted their Acura ARX-05 prototype to the overall honors, while the trio of Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi took their Acura NSX GT3 Evo to the win in the GTD class

The win is the first overall “weekend sweep” for Acura in two and a half seasons of multi-class competition for the manufacturer in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship; and provisionally vaults Acura, Meyer Shank Racing and the full-season driver lineup of Farnbacher and McMurry to the top of the GTD points championships.

Acura Team Penske
Fighting back from an early-race penalty for a pair of pit lane violations during the first round of pit stops, Castroneves and Taylor recovered from a one-lap deficit to the field at the one-hour mark to regain the lead lap by the end of the second hour.  The pair joined the battle for the race victory in their #7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05 in the final two hours.  With just over an hour remaining, Taylor used lapped traffic to pass his teammate Dane Cameron in the #6 Acura and eventually build a 14-second lead over the field.

The #6 ARX-05 of Cameron and Juan Pablo Montoya had an equally fraught race, with contact at the race start resulting in a spin for Cameron.  Quickly recovering, Cameron was up to second place just 30 minutes into the contest. The pair remained in the hunt for the victory until the final minutes of the race, when contact with a GTD-class Ferrari that was returning to the circuit after sliding off course resulted in heavy damage to the #6 Acura, ending their day.

The crash resulted in a full-course caution and erased a seven-second lead for Castroneves. But he held on for the final two laps of green-flag racing as he and Taylor combined for the second consecutive win of 2020, following their victory last month at Road America.

Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo
In the always competitive GTD division for production-based cars, Farnbacher, McMurry and endurance-race addition Michimi prevailed in a typical multi-manufacturer battle for the class victory, with a strong double-stint to the finish by defending champion Farnbacher sealing the victory for the trio’s Acura NSX GT3 Evo, which also marked the first victory of 2020 for the 22-year-old McMurry in his 150th IMSA race start.

Combined with a trio of podium finishes earlier this season, Acura now leads the GTD Manufacturers’ Championship by eight points after six races in 2020.  Farnbacher and McMurry lead the drivers’ title chase by 12 points, and Meyer Shank Racing also has a 12-point lead in the teams’ championship.

The #57 Heinricher Racing with MSR Acura of Alvaro Parente, Misha Goikhberg and Trent Hindman encountered early difficulties after a pair of off-course excursions in the opening hour.  An additional spin in the second hour resulted in damage to the front bodywork of the #57 Acura, but the trio persevered to a sixth-place finish.

Next
The 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next heads to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in three weeks-time, for the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio, on September 26-27.

Quotes
Ted Klaus (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s double victory for Acura: “This is a great day for Acura and HPD, and for all the hardworking associates on our IMSA programs, our excellent drivers and partner teams.  This is also a great reward for [Acura Brand Officer] Jon Ikeda, who has spearheaded the return of Acura to IMSA competition as we prove the brand is the home of Precision Crafted Performance.  Congratulations to everyone at Acura Team Penske and Meyer Shank Racing, and let’s keep it up as we head to our ‘home’ race at Mid-Ohio later this month.”

Ricky Taylor (#7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05) race winner, 2nd consecutive victory of 2020: “We’ve been fighting back all year, today was just a synopsis of our season.  Coming from a lap down and a complete nightmare of a start of the race, but we’ve all made mistakes, and Helio’s recovery was brilliant.  When he’s angry, look out!  He fought back so hard.  We got back to the front, and he made it look easy at the end.  Acura, HPD and Team Penske, it’s an awesome combination.”

Helio Castroneves (#7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05) race winner, 2nd consecutive victory of 2020: “I made a mistake at the beginning, unfortunately.  I like to think I drive like a 20-year-old, but sometimes I make the mistakes of a 20-year-old, too!  Thankfully, [team president] Tim Cindric is always cool, and made all the right calls to get us back in the race, and we got the yellow [caution flag] that worked in our favor.  Finally, we got in the lead thanks to this guy [Taylor].  It was just a great job from everyone: Acura, HPD and Team Penske.  Two in a row, baby, let’s go for more.”

Mario Farnbacher (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo) GTD winner, first win of 2020, leads the GTD drivers’ championship after six races: “This win is such a relief for us, it’s something that we’ve come so close to getting but just couldn’t quite get there. The crew really worked their asses off during the pit stops today. We were really unlucky during the [season opening] Rolex 24, and we have progressively been working really hard to keep collecting points for the championship. Now, to finally get the victory it’s such a good feeling. There’s so many people working behind the scenes, HPD, Acura, MSR, that have all helped us to get here.”

Matt McMurry (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo) GTD winner, first win of 2020, leads the GTD drivers’ championship after six races, made his 150th race start in IMSA competition today: “Today the MSR guys just did everything right and the crew did so awesome – all of our pit stops were super-fast. Shinya [Michimi] started the race off really strong and put me in a good position for when I had to get in the car, and Mario finished perfectly. To get a win on my 150th race start is a pretty good feeling too. A big thank you to everyone at MSR, HPD and Acura for giving us a great car today.”

Mike Shank (team owner, Meyer Shank Racing): “This was a big win for us in many ways. We’ve come so close to getting a win [this year] and we just couldn’t make it happen. So this win, especially during an endurance event, was really good for us. This win also puts us in a good position in the championship. We’ve been staying consistent with our finishes which will help us in the long run. Shinya did a great job considering he has not been in the car since January. Matt continues to show improvements each race and Mario did what he needed to do to bring it home in the end. I’m really proud of these guys, especially the crew who just knocked it out of the park on pit stops today. I’m really happy with the result today.”

Jaime Sánchez’s new book La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución, a riveting tale of gods and world revolutions in the mystical nation that is Mexico

Jaime-S-nchez

GREENFIELD, California, Sept. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución was created by Jaime Sánchez. Jaime is an author who works as a real estate agent. He hails from Villa Guerrero, Jalisco, Mexico.

Jaime said this about his book: “In Cholula, Mexico, the city surrounded by the Iztaccíhuatl, Popocatépetl, and Malinche volcanoes, the city that refuses to leave behind its pre-Hispanic magic, and which is home to the Quetzalcóatl pyramid, the largest in the world. In 1914, when not only the great world war broke out, but Mexico was the bloody heart of the Mexican revolution led by Zapata and Carranza and that it had been contained by the bloody and chilling coup of Victoriano Huerta and Ambassador Lane Wilson in the tragic decade of 1913, which resulted in the deaths of Madero and Pino Suárez. Under this framework of deep social, economic, and political contradictions, the goddess Victoria and the feathered serpent Quetzalcóatl, embodied in a Zapatista peasant, meet to give rise to a passionate romance, who in turn wage an incarnate and entertaining cosmogonic struggle against the rude forces of the universe, represented by Tezcatlipoca and Mictlantecuhtli.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jaime Sánchez’s new book La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución will enchant readers in a story driven by divine beings whose influence puts the world into turmoil and humanity’s fate unknown.

SHORT HILLS, N.J., Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation National Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) announced today the launch of three Spanish-language webinars in celebration of SCI Awareness Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.

“Developing a webinar series for our Spanish-speaking audience was an important step in creating an educational opportunity and cultivating representation in the Spanish-speaking paralysis community. We wanted to ensure a safe space for people living with paralysis, their loved ones, and caregivers to learn more about the PRC programs and services; while working with organizations that could provide critical information during these times,” says, Freddy Perez, the Associate for Community Outreach.

Our speakers come from a variety of organizations. On September 15, 2020, we have Yessica M. Guardiola-Marrero of the Northeast ADA Center. The Northeast ADA Center (NEADAC) is one of the ten ADA Regional Centers that make up the ADA National Network, funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research. The goal of the NEADAC is to provide information guidance and training on the implementation of all aspects of the ADA across communities, businesses, and individual lives. Ms. Guardiola-Marrero will be talking about the 30th Anniversary of the ADA, along with its impact on the lives of Hispanics living with physical disabilities.

A week later, on September 22, 2020, we have Betzaida Ramos, Executive Director of Movimiento para el Alcance de Vida Independiente (MAVI), a former Quality of Life Grant Recipient. MAVI is an independent living center with more than 32 years’ experience providing services to people with diverse disabilities in Puerto Rico. Ms. Ramos will be talking about the importance of Independent Living Centers, its services, and the critical role they play during moments of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lastly, our Reeve Spanish Webinar series will wrap up on September 29, 2020, with the National Coalition for Latinx with Disabilities (NCLD). NCLD is a 100% volunteer, national organization dedicated to affirming, celebrating, and collectively uplifting Latinxs with disabilities through community building, advocacy, protection of rights, resources, and education. Dr. Lisette Torres and Catalina Galvan will be discussing key issues affecting the Hispanic community and how-to self-advocate.

The three webinars will cover important topics such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and its impact on Hispanic communities, the importance of the independent living movement and its critical services during a pandemic, as well as ways to advocate for a variety of issues that are important to the Hispanic community. These webinars will be exclusively in Spanish, and we ask our community to join us. Registration details can be found by visiting our events page, www.ChristopherReeve.org/Events

The Paralysis Resource center houses many resources that are available in Spanish. From our Paralysis Resource Guide, to wallet cards, to blogs, there are valuable sources of information that can be helpful.
