A loyal reader (thanks, Hsien…) brought this site to my attention this morning. WARNING: it is not for the weak of stomach. Or those about to eat. Or those who love animals. Or… much of anyone, really. While purporting to be a vegan cooking site, some pages feature picture after picture of dead and dismembered […]
This NPR interview with Whole Foods’ CEO got me thinking. He makes some interesting points, especially about what food we can afford (or tell ourselves we can afford).

I have a big salad for lunch almost every day. It’s nowhere near as boring as it may sound, since I make an effort to try new ingredients often. Even the type of lettuce I use varies according to the seasons and what’s available at my local stores and markets.
Today’s salad contained lamb’s breath lettuce, […]
I first started learning about GM (genetically modified) food in the 90s when I moved to Europe. It was a big, controversial topic on this continent at the time, even though I have barely heard of the stuff back home. The Europeans were fighting hard to keep GM foods out of their supermarkets and off […]
