Tempo by Home Chef | Green News Guide Reviews

Image
Tempo meals is a weekly food delivery service that offers flavorful protein centered meals in the quantity of your choosing.  If you’ve been rocking with the Green News Guide then you might have read previous reviews about other food delivery services such as Cook Unity, Mosaic or Gobble.  Tempo was originally launched by Home Chef in October of 2023.  I found their meal selection process to be super easy and the website was very user friendly.  Customers can select the subscription of their choice based on the number of meals desired on a weekly basis. One can opt for a quantity of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 meals per week at $11 per serving.   Ordering & Delivery process Tempo’s meals usually feature a protein (beef, chicken, fish, shrimp) that is usually paired with a vegetable medley.  There is also the choice to select from “premium” meal options that are about $3-$5 additional per serving.  One con that I noticed about Tempo is that there...

McDonald's To Release New Iconic Vegan Burger (McPlant)









Vegetarian Chickadees who love their Mickeydees will now have a solid option to eat at McDonald's in 2021. It appears that McDonald’s has decided to catch up with their competitor Burger King who launched the Impossible plant based burger earlier this year. The Impossible Burger was widely received by many seeking meatless fast food options.

McDonald’s announced that it will introduce the McPlant; a new plant based burger option that will definitely have some competition with the Impossible burger. McDonald's did not go into detail about the burger and what will be on it. They’ve only promised that the McPlant will be an iconic plant based burger.





"There are other plant-based burgers out there, but the McPlant delivers our iconic taste in a sink-your-teeth-in (and wipe-your-mouth) kind of sandwich. It’s made with a juicy, plant-based patty and served on a warm, sesame seed bun with all the classic toppings."

Beyond meat teamed up with McDonald's to help them create the "iconic" burger.

McDonald's tested the McPlant out in Canada under the name "P.L.T. Burger" and received good feedback from Canadians who tried it. After the overall positive feedback from the region, McDonald’s decided to make the McPlant global.

The industry of fast food is changing. As more people embark on a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, food establishments have no choice but to go with THE flow and begin catering to people who live AND eat non-traditionally. That---and perhaps they were losing customers to Burger King!


Mcdonald's has quite a large carbon footprint and as you know from the B.A.M.F.E.I. INITIATIVE, decreased consumption of beef will turn the climate crisis around in a major way. McDonald's is headed in the right direction by introducing a plant based burger to their global menu. If more people who visit the establishment opt for that instead of their beef burgers. Both of the company's and the people consuming the McPlant could substantially decrease their carbon footprint.


Will you be tasting the new McPlant burger?

FDA Bans First FD&C Dye! Which Will be Next?

Image
The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

Fenty Sidestick Is it All that?

Image
The Fenty Side Stick is a 3 in 1 edge styling tool.  It was mentioned in a comprehensive review  of Rihanna's hair line, however, I hadn't yet purchased it.  I wanted to briefly compare The Side Stick to the type of edge brushes that are found in your average beauty store.  The Side Stick arrived in a light orange box with the signature Fenty packaging and logo. On the back of the box, is a photo of the Side Stick.  The photo on the back of the packaging is almost the same length as the Side Stick so the user can get a sense of the actual length of the product.  When it is taken out of the package, the end piece needed to be snapped on. It's a nice rose chrome colored tail which makes for precise parting and creation of swooped styles.  If any of you ladies love your 90s Aaliyah style swooped bangs, the Side Stick is going to get you right every time! It has a duo brush and comb head instead of being at opposite ends like an average edge brush and com...

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

Image
1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...
