Check out this photo series. Cool, huh? Here is a similar, though more sobering, collection. I’d love to post a similar series of photos here. Let us peek into your life by emailing a photo of your open fridge. This is a chance to show off the lovely contents of your fridge or to “come out” about your take-out [...]

Here are some cool maps the NYT created using data from the 2007 Census of Agriculture. And here’s a map I made to show the distribution of Oklahoma Food Co-op producers.

Sustainable Agriculture = Community Development Excerpt: “As currently structured, the food system is a sieve through which a substantial portion of wealth in low-income communities leaks away — with little of value to show for it.” Red Meat and Mortality Excerpt: “Eating lots of red meat increases the chances of dying prematurely of cancer and [...]

Faux Fiber (Thanks, Chelsey!) FDA refuses to test for mercury in high-fructose corn syrup Side note: growing awareness of bioaccumulation from repeated exposure to toxins at levels with “no-observed-adverse-effect” will hopefully incite policy changes and inform purchasing decisions.

Arugula Demystified
Posted in Agriculture, Media, Status Quo on February 13, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I am sick of people using food to exacerbate perceived divisions. Just yesterday a state representative invoked “arugula” to conjure feelings of “us” and “them.” How is it that a salad green has come to represent elites, or in this case ignorant, elitist city-folk? Remember Obama’s so-called “arugula moment” in mid-2007? Ridiculous. It grows in [...]
Ensuring the Future of Food in Japan

“We’re all farmers now”

The Daily Telegraph has a lovely article on local food, the evolution of a CSA (community supported agriculture) group, and the abstract factors involved with farming, food security, etc. It’s well written and a joy to read (probably has a little something to do with that British dialect). And visit the Swillington CSA blog for [...]
Scientific Evidence of What We Already Knew
Posted in Big Food, Eating Out, Meat, Media, Status Quo on November 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Authors of a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences tested for carbon and nitrogen isotopes in 480 servings of beef, chicken, and french fries. From these tests, the authors could tell that the animals were kept in confinement, ate a mostly-corn diet, and maybe even ate their own poo. Very [...]
