A coalition of global investors has urged fast food giants including KFC, Burger King and Mc Donalds to cut down on their greenhouse gas emissions and present a plan of action with respect to their meat and dairy suppliers. The letter, jointly drafted by the Farm Animal Investment Risk & Return Initiative (FAIRR) and Ceres, also stated that the fast food industry is constantly expanding without any consideration of the environmental impact. The fast food chains have been asked to monitor and publish their progress each year, failing which they will face regulatory risks.

According to a report by&nbsp;British online publisher The Independent,&nbsp;Mondelez has shared that it is working on creating a vegan&nbsp;Dairy Milk&nbsp;bar suitable for those who follow plant-based diets. An increasing demand for non-dairy alternatives has pushed them to look at a new version of the chocolate, reportedly.&nbsp;However, they haven&rsquo;t yet nailed the recipe so are holding back on a launch date, says the report. It has also been reported that the brand has been testing since two years, trying to find alternative&nbsp;plant-based&nbsp;ingredients&nbsp;that will provide the same texture and taste.&nbsp;

President Donald Trump and family started India visit in Ahmedabad&nbsp;and the all-vegetarian meals for the meat-loving president made headlines.

Burger King's latest campaign for a preservative-free Whopper is diving ad experts. The ad shows a&nbsp;mouldy burger, covered in fungus, signifying what happens when it is left for over a month. Focusing&nbsp;on &lsquo;the beauty of no artificial preservatives&rsquo; and&nbsp;&lsquo;real&rsquo; food, the fast food company&nbsp;announced that&nbsp;it would remove artificial colors, flavors and preservatives from its signature sandwich in the U.S. Some are appreciating&nbsp;Burger King's bold move, when it comes to food advertising, by making its best-known burger look so unappetising while others feel that featuring mould in food ad breaks all the rules of meal promotion, which usually involves beautifully-shot items set up by stylists.&nbsp;

Eating a diet of junk food for just one week was enough to damage a part of the brain that signals&nbsp;overeating, suggests a new research by experts at Macquarie University in Sydney.&nbsp;Researchers found that after seven days on a high fat, high added sugar diet, volunteers in their 20s scored worse on memory tests.&nbsp;The findings suggest that a junk food diet makes it harder for people to regulate their appetite and damage to the 'hippocampus'&nbsp;is a possible cause.&nbsp;The hippocampus normally stops us from binging on more food when we are full by suppressing memories of how tasty it is. The phenomenon has been demonstrated for the first time in humans, say researchers.&nbsp;

The demand for online food vendors has seen a massive surge amid the coronavirus outbreak&nbsp;in China. As part of anti-virus controls, factories, restaurants and cinemas remain&nbsp;closed. One e-commerce giant, JD.com stated that its drivers delivered over 70,000 tons of rice flour and grains and 27 million litres of cooking oil among other essentials over the past month. Employees are seen dressed in gloves and masks as they spray disinfectant over the packages. Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed in padded blue boxes. To meet the increasing demand, the company plans to hire 20,000 people. Measures are also being taken to ensure contact-less delivery.&nbsp;

According to reports, food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato&nbsp;are driving the growth and popularity of 'dark' kitchens. Commonly known as ghost kitchens or cloud kitchens, these are basically takeaway outlets that mostly&nbsp; cater to online orders.&nbsp;One factor that has worked in favour of the food delivery platforms is the data that they have accumulated about consumers' preferences. Analysing this data allows them to understand the nature of the demand of food a particular area generates. The biggest advantage of virtual kitchens includes relatively low investment and business risk.&nbsp;

The world&nbsp;may be wasting more than twice as much food than previously thought, according to a new study.&nbsp;The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimated in 2005 that one-third of all the food available for human consumption was wasted. Experts from the Wageningen University and Research indicate that the methodology used by the Food and Agricultural Organisation did not consider consumer behavior related to food waste and was only based on food supply and, therefore, their estimates of consumer food waste may be too low.&nbsp;

Amid fears of the coronavirus&nbsp;outbreak, the FSSAI has stepped up efforts to ensure better safety and standards at meat shops and slaughterhouses. Authorities have already been auditing meat and fish shops, and slaughterhouses, and are now, reportedly, in the process of introducing hygiene ratings for them.

The American Cancer Society recommends that you eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.&nbsp;Some foods do have cancer-fighting properties, though experts haven't been able to confirm that they can prevent or treat cancer.&nbsp;But, research does show that the right kind of nutrition matters.&nbsp;
According to Cancer Research UK,&nbsp; lab studies have shown that&nbsp;curcumin in turmeric&nbsp;has anti cancer effects. It seems to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Cruciferous vegetables&nbsp;such as&nbsp;cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli contain sulforaphane compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties, as per America's National Cancer Institute. Experiments with animals have been positive, however, studies in humans have shown mixed results.
According to a 2011 study by&nbsp;The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center,&nbsp;fish oil and fish&nbsp;contain omega 3 fatty acids which appear to stop or slow down the growth and development of breast cancer cells in laboratory studies of mice and breast cancer cells.&nbsp;
Garlic&nbsp;battles bacteria. Its sulfur-containing compounds have a protective effect, say experts from the American Cancer Society.&nbsp;The World Health Organisation recommends that adults consume at least one clove of garlic daily to promote good health.
In laboratory tests,&nbsp;lycopene in tomatoes&nbsp;has stopped breast and lung cancer cells from growing.&nbsp;Researchers speculate that lycopene protects cells from damage by boosting the immune system. It may stop the growth of tumours by interfering with abnormal cell growth, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Spinach&nbsp;is rich in lutein and carotenoids that may help remove unstable free radicals from your body before they damage it. A study of more than 490,000 people led by the National Institutes of Health in the United Stated found that those who ate more spinach were less likely to develop esophageal cancer.
"It is not 100% certain that consuming more or less of certain foods or nutrients will guarantee cancer protection," clarifies Dr. Edward Giovannucci of Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. You must consult a medical expert before making any changes to your diet.&nbsp;
