Dill


An ancient herb that dates back to biblical times. A recipe that combines the popular cucumber with dill dates back to a recipe from 1640 by Joseph Cooper. The aromatic herb grows to 3ft tall with long feathery fronds and tiny yellow flowers. The flavor is that of a subtle anise.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
