During Chen's six years in office, the economy has slumped, political reform has stalled, and cross-strait relations with China have pretty much been frozen. Now, amid allegations of corruption against Chen's aides and family members, the opposition has tabled a recall motion in the legislature, where it holds a small majority. The motion needs a two-thirds vote to be carried, which is unlikely. Even if it does pass, it then has to be subject...

The process is intended to help consumers cook vegetables in less than five minutes without boiling away their nutritional...

"Kiwi was rare 20 years ago," says David Feder, dietician and managing editor of Wellness Foods Magazine, "but now they're everywhere." If you're looking for simpler frozen fruit, Lempert recommends Cascadian Farm's organic frozen blueberries as an affordable alternative to $5-a-pint fresh ones. When selecting fruit and veggies, dietician and food expert Melinda Hemmelgarn says the best way to support environmentally friendly practices is to look into what's grown locally.
