1. Eat Less Meat (Again). You may remember seeing such a title in one of my other food-related news posts from back in June, when I introduced Mark Bittman's dire treatise for carnivores to cease and desist. Ok, so I'm exaggerating a little - it wasn't that harsh, but he did offer some practical reasons on how and why we should curb our meat consumption. Well the subject of over-meating has reared its ugly little piggy head again. This time, a group of innovative and conscientious farmers in the Netherlands (you knew it was going to be Europe) are teaming up to turn their cow patties into energy. With 18% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions attributed to farm animals, there is growing concern on what's to be done to mitigate the disastrous effects of large-scale meat production to our environment.
2. Please Mr. President. Foodie heavyweights like Michael Pollen, Alice Waters, Eric Schlosser, and Wendell Berry team up to urge our new president to make a change in the realm of agriculture. And if you haven't read Pollen's open letter to the president regarding the agricultural and food crisis, you can find it here.
