Parsnip

Other names: parsnips

A sweet tasting root vegetable brought to the US back in the 1600's.  Parsnips are more popular in Europe than in the US.  The root is very versatile and can be added to braised meats,  steamed, boiled or baked.  We like to make a puree out of carrots and parsnips and add just a little butter and cream. It's a wonderful side dish for poultry. You can also mash the parsnip with potatoes.

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?
