...original measurements were performed by a nutritionist, who estimated a menu item’s calories based on its recipes, Ackil said. The new tabulations come from lab tests that determine calorie counts through repeated tests of each offering—a more costly, and more accurate, measurement method. “Once we were able to save up enough money, because it’s very expensive to test things in the lab, we sent all our food to the lab,” Ackil added. In the future, b.good will send all its prospective food selections...
...replacing it with vegetable proteins and oils. "I would say cost, the sustainability of resources - pelagic fisheries - and human health concerns have been driving researchers to find replacements for fishmeal and fish oil - and we are doing this to the greatest extent possible," says Dr. David Higgs, a fish nutritionist for the Canadian government who works closely with British Columbia's $450 million salmon industry. (Reducing the fish content in feed also reduces the accumulation of PCBs in farmed fish, though Higgs insists that PCB levels in fish from British Columbia are some 50 to 70 times below FDA standards...

I don't have much relation to frugality, and, perhaps foolishly, I'm more optimistic than Gussow about...
...Using spa cuisine as a foundation, and with the help of a nutritionist and a Chinese herbalist, Gamon has been blending hashima (the glands of snow frogs) with white chocolate, combining curried chicken drumsticks with reishi mushrooms and kelp, dressing butter-braised abalone with ginseng, and adding bird's nest to ice cream. These are not the normal pairings of tonic cuisine, but they are based on the same principles and Eu Yan Sang's conservative herbalists have gradually given their approval. "Now they ask me, 'Does it taste good?'" says Gamon with a laugh...
