- Check out this fantastic piece on when overeating starts (very) young, from New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni, I Was a Baby Bulimic.
- Maybe they just want autographed copies of Jill's book? Deep sea jumbo flying squid have invaded the waters off San Diego...
- Meh, the only way for fast food franchises to "go green" is to cease existence. A few building upgrades won't change the fact that they're still serving 3,000-mile caesar salads, 1,800-mile french fries and 7,500-mile hamburgers with tomatoes picked by modern-day slaves in Florida, etc...
- Looking towards the future of our cities - I love what Flint's been doing, and hope Detroit and other cities follow suit. Are we seeing the beginning of a return to traditional urban living patterns of dense centers immediately surrounded by farmland?
- African-American churches on the South and West Sides of Chicago are battling food deserts themselves, opening new farmers' markets and starting community gardens on their properties.
- Time again here for my favorite berry - Pete Petersen brings us a quick primer on marionberries.
- A whole bunch of new Portland food carts! I am definitely hitting Asaase sometime this week. Afro-Caribbean vegan! Can't wait for the new Mississippi Avenue food cart block to open soon, either. I want a new Polish cart!
- Sticking with the Portland theme, two San Franciscans just spent a day eating through our city. Decent tour, and they even hit a place I haven't been to yet, "Tao of Tea" on Belmont...
- Here's a piece on how farm-to-school in Portland has worked over the past few years.
