I know I’m in good company when I say, if I don’t control myself, I could go crazy buying cookbooks. So, I have a mostly no-purchasing policy. Mostly. I bought two cookbooks for myself in the last year or so, and they were both purchased last month. I borrowed Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman and Brian [...]

Never mind what it implies about our social life—Matt and I look forward to the Saturday evening radio line up. The Midnight Special at 6pm on KCSC (90.1), followed by The Thistle & Shamrock and Folk Salad on KOSU (91.7). The Midnight Special songs play with a theme. I was cooking and listening this past [...]

Laughable Labels
Posted in Agriculture, Big Food, In the News, Local, Media on April 26, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Is this the co-opting of “local” or just a really broad interpretation? My recent encounter in Oklahoma City with this “locally grown” jar of roasted bell peppers from Napa Valley caused me to revisit this fantastic article from last May, which explores the angles and issues with the “local” label. Mezzetta, Frito Lay, and others [...]
Some Reading
Posted in Blogs, In the News, Media on January 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Here are some food-related articles I’ve recently read. Are there some good ones I’ve missed? It takes a community to sustain a small farm “I used to think there were four distinct pieces to a local food system: production, processing, distribution, and retail. Now I realize there is a fifth: community. Without an involved community [...]
Slant and Sausage
Posted in Big Food, Blogs, In the News, Meat, Media, Reading and Research, Status Quo on November 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Do you subscribe to Meatingplace headlines and blog updates? I can’t remember how I came across the site, but I continue to read and get pissed; read, get pissed. It’s my education on inserting bias and “fast, flexible, fully automated sausage production.” The industry blogs are even more fun, where bloggers like Yvonne Vizzier Thaxton [...]
Speaking of indoctrination…

Don’t ya just love all this “indoctrination” talk stirred up because—gasp!—the President seeks to directly engage schoolchildren? Let us focus on some legitimate indoctrination: “By the year 2000, the Centers for Disease Control estimated that one in five schools participating in the National School Lunch Program had brand-name fast foods in their lunchrooms.” —School Lunch [...]

I’m in San Francisco for a work-related conference. Food has been a nice diversion from the sometimes-dry subject of legislative redistricting. I’ve been eating some great food—more on that later. And I got to see Food, Inc. in its limited release. Amazing. It covered a lot of ground— mainly reinforcing things I already new a [...]
Food, Inc.

NYT has a review of Food, Inc. From what I’ve read, it seems Food, Inc. is a culmination of the last several years’ worth of media critiquing our food system. I’m going to be in San Francisco during opening weekend. Maybe I’ll get to see it!
