Raiding the internet fridge for your intellectual delectation ...

- Why global warming means more killer storms.

- How gardeners can help food pantries with their surplus produce.

- The bisphenol A in polycarbonate containers "has been shown to interfere with reproductive development in animals and has been linked with cardiovascular disease and diabetes in humans."

- LaVidaLocavore: Dear The USDA, Wendell Berry is relatively harmless. As the food industry is now coming out in favor of safety regulations, it makes the effectiveness of those regulations immediately suspect.

- Civil Eats: Maybe cooptation of language doesn't have to be a one way street. A review of the diary of an urban farmer. Time vs. geography - a chef's meditation on local food.

- The Green Fork: An encouraging update on the success of Farm-To-School programs. The new movie, Fresh, by Ana Joanes, will hopefully make it vastly more difficult for the food industry to convince people that sustainable food advocates want to starve them.

Hey Natasha,

Thanks for mentioning our Green Fork Blog in your post. I intern for the Eat Well Guide, which writes the Green Fork Blog, and it's a great resource for reading up on sustainable food, environmental, and farm practices going on around the U.S. and Canada. Also, "Fresh" by Ana Jones is a film I would highly reccommend if you are interested in farming practices! Keep in touch!
