Fridge audit (freezer and pantry too)

[Phred]

In the not too distant past there have been threads in RFC on what to
have on hand in your pantry/fridge/whatever, so I thought some may be
interested in this topic I stumbled upon in the Oz ninemsn site this
evening: Fridge Audit [under the general theme "Diet"].

By the look of it, it's actually a bit of a "news" item from the
current issue of _Woman's Day_ magazine and it covers items commonly
found in the home fridge, freezer, and pantry.

The "contents" [pun unintended :-) ] page is here:
<http://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=258360>

Clicking on any one of the items will open an entry into a list
containing that item (and the related items). There's usually a brief
comment on the item; then a recommendation to "Save, switch or ditch?"
with a brief reason for the specific recommendation; and often a
suggestion for an alternative if the recommendation was "Ditch".
For example:
<quoting>
*Honey mustard cooking sauce*
High in sugar, salt and contains colours linked to
gastrointestinal problems.

Save, switch or ditch?
Ditch - Mix reduced sodium soy sauce with honey, lemon,
garlic and herbs for a flavoursome marinade or sauce.
</quoting>

Cheers, Phred.

A fair few erroneous 'facts' in her reasoning too, i.e; on full cream
milk:

"Full cream milk
Save, switch or ditch?
Save — Great source of calcium. Children under the age of five need full
cream milk for proper development. Low fat has the same amount of calcium
with less fat for the weight conscious."

Pasteurised milk isn't particularly great as a source of digestible
calcium, nor is 'low fat' milk worth a damn if you're trying to lose
weight.
