Pollan painting #3: Sequoia National Pork

by Amanda Rose @ Sunday, February 10th, 2008.

The latest in a series of interpretive paintings done by 5-year-old Frederick, inspired by his mother’s reading "The Omnivore’s Dilemma" and summarizing it for him. (See #1, Children of the corn and #2: Chicken Little at Magic Mountain.)
Michael Pollan’s chapter about boar hunting reminded some of the people in this house of my […]

LivingSmall in Montana: What’s in your freezer?

by Charlotte @ Friday, September 7th, 2007.

If local is the new organic, then most of my friends here are very trendy. As with most little towns in the scenic intermountain west, we have our issues between the newbies and the locals, but game cuts across all the class boundaries — we all eat local wild meat. Whatever you might feel about hunting, you have to admit that you can’t get much more local than going out on a cold fall morning before sunrise, then shooting, field dressing, and packing out an animal that is destined for your freezer. An animal you intend to eat for the next year.

Digest: Bacteria love, food bill of rights, more hogfarm lawsuits, Glassner revisited

by Ethicurean @ Monday, January 22nd, 2007.

Fiber — like armor for your gut: Thought there was nothing new to say about last year’s E. coli outbreaks? Think again. This op-ed says the best defense against the bad bugs starts with your own stomach: eat more fiber, so your gut’s bacteria can fight off invaders. Recommended are onions, leeks, garlic, chicory and […]

Digest: Future food-industry scientists, stealthy Pepsi, turkey hunting in Napa

by Ethicurean @ Friday, November 17th, 2006.

New York Times*: The youth organization once known as Future Farmers of America is thriving, having dropped any reference to actual farming from its name. The membership has changed as well: more FFA members now come from towns & suburbs and want to be not farmers, but food-industry scientists, seed bioengineers, florists, landscapers and renewable […]

by Ethicurean @ Thursday, November 9th, 2006.

Diner’s Journal/NYT blog: Ever take a walk on the wild side in restaurants? Dairy Queen likes to — which is why she’s shocked and embarrassed to learn from NY Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni that by law, the “wild” game served in U.S. restaurants is not exactly Bambi and Thumper, but more Old MacDonald. A […]

The joy of the ‘Joy of Cooking,’ circa 1962

by Bonnie P. @ Saturday, October 14th, 2006.

This posted is rated NV: Not for Vegetarians.
A friend in the book-publishing industry was dining at our house last week and rhapsodizing about old Joy of Cooking editions, particularly the illustrations from the ’60s. Lo and behold, on my shelf was a 1962 edition my father had given me.
The book opens with an epigram from […]

Digest: Gene Revolution’s fine print, snacking research, mad deer disease

by Ethicurean @ Saturday, October 14th, 2006.

Des Moines Register: An op-ed lauds the Gates Foundation’s support of African agriculture as a coming Gene Revolution — saying biotech will be critical to restoring that “blighted land.” Why? It’s “uniquely suited to address a fundamental problem that many poor farmers face: the enormous stumbling block of illiteracy. If farmers can’t read the instructions […]

Digest: Hog bust, Fox in the organic henhouse, Mason Q&A

by Ethicurean @ Friday, October 6th, 2006.

The HooK (VA): Cover story about how USDA officials came onto a Christian couple’s 153-acre farm in remote Virginia, quarantined it, and killed 79 of their pigs with shotguns because they suspected they had pseudorabies, a highly contagious swine infection not dangerous to people — and that doesn’t make the meat unsafe. Here’s the catch, […]

What else we’re reading

by Bonnie P. @ Sunday, August 20th, 2006.

Toronto Star: A funny semi-review mocking the machismo in Bill Buford’s new book Heat. Concludes with some crowd-pleasing points about a “quiet revolution” and a “paradigm shift” toward “a love of food in its purest, unrefined, unbleached, un-prepackaged, locally grown, ethically responsible way.”
New York Times: Sometimes eating locally ain’t such a great idea, such as […]
