2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you [...]

Once you’re done with that, watch Mark Bittman’s talk on what’s wrong with what we eat. It’s not as [...]

Mike just let me know that he has a new blog called Code Bread, “Mostly just because I wanted to have a ‘Bread Alert!’ tag.” Since his geeky humor is only outclassed by his breadmaking skills, I think it’ll be a winner.

This is a very good article, titled Poor Taste, on Grist debunking a recent anti-sustainable, anti-organic and anti-local food rant in The Economist that even invokes one of the chief architects of the ill-fated Green Revolution.

Families Weight Comments May Harm Girls for Years is the title of the article. This may seem obvious, but I sure wish someone had pointed that out to my parents. You know, diet programs at age eleven are 1) never a very good idea and 2) really hard on one’s self esteem, [...]
