- Catfish With a Side of Scombroid
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  This article on seafood inspection is chilling. It's a must read for any fish eater. It struck me as odd that one article in the New York Times Op Ed page seemed to suggest that seafood safety is at risk while another seemed to say it's perfectly safe for pregnant women to eat sushi.

- Sushi for Two
  Posted by Jon from New York Times
  "What we need isn’t more tuna, but a renaissance in American sushi; to discover for ourselves — and perhaps to remind the Japanese — what sushi is all about. A trip to the neighborhood sushi bar should be a social exchange that celebrates, with a sense of balance and moderation, the wondrous variety of the sea."

- The Debate Over Subsidizing Snacks
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Increasingly, people are blaming the farm bill, and the longstanding agriculture policy it embodies, for some of the problems afflicting the country: the growth in obesity, the increase in food poisonings, and the disappearance of the family farm.

China's economy cools

Who will pay for all of our debt (in the U.S.) if China doesn’t have enough money to bail out the deficit spenders in Washington DC?

Interesting to find out if the anchovies are a biproduct of some other product – maybe cheaper to reuse it rather than dispose of it and dupe the public into believeing it is for their benfit.

High fat level found in takeaways
Gee, imagine that. Heck that is why kids and others like it so much. Usually, it isn't called health food for a reason. James

Call For Action On Food Prices

it starts with the cost of fuel…and gets worse with the demand for biofuels. We’re in deep poo right now.

I think we have to grow more hemp. Hemp seeds can feed people. It can also be used for fuel.

Can People Have Meat and a Planet, Too?

Where does hunting fit in with all of this? Sure, a lot of greens may not identify with hunters; but I’m not talking about sitting in an idling truck until a critter wanders by, then blasting away. I’m talking about ethical hunting: getting up pre-dawn, walking for miles into the wilderness, sneaking up, and killing only when it can be done quickly and painlessly. And for the purpose of providing food.
Lots of people make their own beer. Why? Not because its significantly cheaper than a fine professioinally-made, tasty, store-bought microbrew. Rather, people make their own beer because it gives them a closer connection to what they consume.
Likewise with In Vitro Meat production (Yuk, that is a bad name!). It might be possible , but it distances the human with their source of sustanance- making humans more uncaring and wasteful of the product.
Producing meat might be beneficial ecologically/economically/antiboitically/morally. But what effect does it have ~~psychologically~~ on the humans?
