- A lot of interesting pieces on our food system to peruse:
- Being a vegetarian has gotten a little cheaper in the last year. [3]
- More good news [4], sales of Coca Cola in Mexico have declined since the implementation of the soda tax, keep our fingers crossed that the trend continues.
- A great take down of the Paleo diet. [5] My favorite quote: “Watch out for the assumption that the only way forward is to find our way back to Eden.” This type of thinking is all too pervasive in the Sustainability/Environmental movement.
- In a related topic, Gluten Intolerance: “I would like to offer another meaning for G.I: Grossly Ill-informed.” [6]
- Great piece by Chef Linton Hopkins on why cheeseburgers in and of themselves aren’t the problem, its the way we produce them [7]. E.g. “Our bread shelves should be empty at the end of the day.”
- Another reminder that Sustainable solutions can be found when we look to improve environmental and social conditions, such as through busing. [8]
- The prestigious academic journal Science has a special issue out on our Vanishing Fauna [9], which is making the rounds of news sites as the Sixth Mass Extinction [10].
- Photo essay of people with a week’s worth of their garbage. [11]
- Go hike out in nature-Doctor’s orders! [12]
