state bill — called Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act — would require companies with net incomes over $1 million who sell or distribute food or products to reduce plastics and other packaging that ends in landfills or waterways by 50% over the next 12 years. It would also impose a fee on companies that use plastic packages, with money going toward recycling programs and infrastructure. “This legislation shifts the...

| April 15th 2023 | Joseph V Micallef
Stilton is among the world’s best-known cheeses. An

Stilton has two forms. Inoculated with Penicillium roqueforti, a blue variety exhibits the characteristic blue veining and Stilton's traditional smell and taste.

Well, depending on the type of mold, of course. Some cheese molds, red or brown-tinged molds, for example, are offensive. Toss those bacteria-contaminated moldy cheeses in the garbage quickly and move along to the grey, blue, or green colored moldy cheeses in the fridge instead.
