A new study has revealed that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics which helps in shaping the US food policies has&nbsp;financial ties to the world's most renowned processed food companies.

Gary Ruskin, executive director of US Right to Know who also co-authored the study said, "It’s incredibly influential so if the Academy is corrupt then nutritional policy in the US is going to be corrupt."

The Academy has been criticised for its big ties. The report also reveals that the academy has quid pro quo with food giants and owns stock in processed food companies like Nestle and Pepsico. It was also headed by former industry employees.

The US Academy has received contributions worth millions of dollars from producers. As per the report, it received $15 million between 2011-2017 from the producers. An additional $4 million were sent to the Academy's foundation.&nbsp;

Marion Nestle, a nutritionist in her 2002 books said&nbsp;that Academy's&nbsp;financial ties raise fundamental questions about "credibility. "

She said, "How can the Academy advise the public to avoid ultra-processed foods, for example, if it is funded by the makers of those foods?". "The issue of trust is critical to nutrition advising. The Academy looks like it represents the food industry, not the public interest."

Defending itself the Academy said that its an independent voice and a "trusted edcuational resource for consumers." It added that it provides information to over 110,000 dieticians in the country.&nbsp;

It denied doing anything wrong and said that the study contains factual errors and has finances 'out of context.'

Hopefully they will be happy like they should be! I personally would be OK if we owned Coke stock!!”

The Academy in 2015 sent an email&nbsp;which revealed that not only it owned stock in ABoot but also received a sponsorship deal worth $300,000.&nbsp;

The mail also revealed an extension of the Academy's sponsorship deal with the National Dairy Council.&nbsp;

The year 2015, also called for controversy when the Academy allowed Kraft to put a "Kid's Eat Healthy" seal on the packaging.&nbsp;

To draw the world's attention towards their working conditions, thousands of workers at 15 US airports are walking off their jobs and striking, demanding higher wages and benefits.&nbsp; From Dallas to Los Angeles, workers are expected to participate in on-site rallies. Others like janitors, security guards, and cabin cleaners are expected to join the movement, NBC News reported.&nbsp;

These rallies are expected to be carried throughout the day. The most disruptive strikes are predicted&nbsp;to be at Boston's Logan International Airport, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, and the Newark Liberty International Airport.&nbsp;

Workers at these three airports are rallying against the unfair labour wages they are paid.&nbsp;

SIEU, a workers union, said that staff responsible for unloading bags at New York's LaGuardia International Airport were asked to work as cabin cleaners as well.&nbsp;

Omar Rodriquez, a worker at the LaGuardia, said, "We get blamed for delays, but we’re only given a few minutes to clean and don’t have enough people to do the work." He added, “No one wants to stay because the pay and benefits are not enough for what we do."

A Japanese institute on Thursday (Dec 8) named frozen food as the "dish of the year."&nbsp;Weird isn't it? Well, it's true.&nbsp;

This decision has been taken on purpose neglecting any dessert or fancy food.&nbsp;

The previous year's winners include plant-based dishes or any fancy Chinese cooking.&nbsp;

The institute runs a food website that allows its users to search for the top trending food. It further claimed that the pandemic led many Japanese to eat frozen food, mainly for takeouts.&nbsp;

The data released by the Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs showed the average money spent on buying frozen food has gone up by 20 per cent in 2019-2021.

Traditionally, the Japanese would buy fresh groceries daily and make fresh food. However, ever since the establishment of frozen groceries and the pandemic, the option is no longer available.&nbsp;

Currently, frozen foods are available in over 1,500 options to people by Aeon, a leading and one of the largest frozen food grocery shops.&nbsp;

Experts believe that changing the way of living is also a reason for the trend. Nowadays, many individuals live alone and have limited time so they intend to sore in their food.&nbsp;
