1 . Sanlinx Inc. first introduced its original market defining SayaJoy Soy Milk Maker over 14 years ago to the North America market. Now we are introducing the SoyaPower G4, the fourth generation of advanced soy milk makers replacing the top rated SayaPower Plus.
The SoyaPower has been a best seller for nearly two years before it was replaced by the G4, with more favorable ratings than any other soy milk maker during its lifetime.
The SoyaPower G4 retains all the SoyaPower Plus features and functions. It makes soy milk, almond milk from other nuts seeds, or grains or a combination of them. It makes both fully cooked and raw milks. It even makes creamy soups and porridge and hot chocolate drink.
The Main Improvements
●The G4 adds stainless steel to the lower part of the machine head, and thus makes the total grinding and cooking chamber all stainless steel. This is very important for people who are concerned of plastic leaching into food.
●The G4 changed to bottom heating like a typical electric water kettle. Since soy milk or soups are easily burnt onto bottom heating plate, many other bottom heating makers suffer from this problem. The G4 solved this problem by using advanced technologies and design.
●The perfect technology ensures excellent grinding and milk yields. It also makes the use and cleaning even easier.
●Eight push button functions, for making milks from soaked beans, dry beans, and other seeds and grains or combination of them. It also makes soups and porridge. It even has a function to make hot chocolate!

2 . The East Room of the White House was bursting with color on July 14, as 56 young cooks arrived for the Kids’ Stale Dinner. The chefs, aged from 8 to 12, were winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, a program that encourages kids to create healthy, affordable, original, and tasty lunch recipes.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the event, now in its fifth year and part of her Let’s Move! More than 1,200 kids throughout America entered the challenge, were encouraged to be creative and use ingredients (原料) grown in their home states, or communities. Recipes had to represent each of the food groups by including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. The 56 winners were treated to a meal featuring some of their own creations.
“This event isn’t just about eating well today, but about setting kids like all of you up for a lifetime of healthy choices.” the former first lady told the young cooks. “As small you are, you can change lives. I see the work of kids, the magic you all do. People change because of kids.”
Amelie Chen’s winning recipe was Breadfruit, Taro, and Garlic Chicken Trio. The 9-year-old from American Samoa said she was “very excited” to be attending the event. “Winning this trip to the White House makes me think of my favorite quote from Walt Disney: ‘If you can dream it, you can do it,’” she said.
Famous cooks Rachaels Ray and Tanya Steel, editorial director of Clean Plates Omnimedia, a media company focusing on health and wellness food culture, were also in attendance. Michelle recognized them as driving forces in making the Kids’ State Dinner a reality several years ago. Ray and Steel posed for pictures with the young cooks.
Following the meal, the crowd was treated to performances by the cast of Walt Disney World Resort’s The Jungle Book. The 56 winners ended their visit with a tour of the White House Kitchen Garden.

3 . You may have noticed something different when you ate at your favorite restaurant. Or perhaps you picked up on it while looking through your social media apps (社交媒体软件) . You guessed it——we’re becoming a foodie (吃货) culture.
For some, that means photographing every dish, but others are taking it one step further. Sophia Hampton, a senior at Staples High School in US, chooses to make her own food. She has been published in Future Chefs, a cookbook of recipes (食谱) by teens.
Hampton’s best advice for those who want to be foodies is to get in the kitchen.
“Start cooking,” she said. “There are so many resources online, like recipes and articles about food. Go to your local farmers’ market and start cooking with them.”
Besides blogs and online resources, there are also hands-on cooking classes for students. The Chopping Block, a Chicago cooking school, offers many different classes for teens, including courses on chocolate and French food.
By attending cooking classes, surfing online and going to restaurants, you can find endless recipes. But sometimes becoming a real foodie means being behind a camera. As our food-loving culture becomes more popular and teen-friendly, social media apps like Facebook, have become major players in food culture.
“Getting involved in foodie culture is as easy as having a camera and a social media app,” one foodie said. “I always go to streets and farmers’ markets to take beautiful pictures of food. Wherever food prices are expensive, the photos are free.”
