Can’t wait for the first box to arrive. Yum! This is the place they made the csa documentary The Real Dirt on Farmer John. Just added it to the Netflix queue.

Can I get a what what

Great news, folks. We won a MEAT RAFFLE we entered at the Old Fashioned ($1 to charity!) and will be getting a ham from that dude shortly. I LOVE Wisconsin. 

Here is the link to the Sheboygan market!

Beef recall

I want to go on record that “food” might not be the best category for this post. Maybe “industrial waste”. Oh, and I have to apologize for following QG’s good news with something this terrible. (By the way, although I’m sad to hear of the loss, way to go, QG!)  S and I keep getting closer and closer to a no-meat diet as we consider the ramifications of an industrial system that yields episodes such as this one. I haven’t watched the video of the cows yet, but maybe I should. I have a responsibility to see the full impact of my choice to eat meat, right? Fast Food Nation keeps coming to mind…

Ugh, I’ll skip the cloned hamburger, thanks.

Cloned meat stock is approved by the FDA. I feel simultaneously really unhappy about this and then unhappy with myself because the base of my initial revulsion is probably entirely emotive. Then I realize that if I start looking for an argument to prop up my revulsion, I really am just rationalizing. So I am gonna just stick with my initial revulsion.

Rethinking Localvorism

Times article on the stickiness of eating locally.  Money quote: 

It gets stickier. If a low-carbon diet is your goal, Mr. Tomich suggests, it may be more effective to change your diet than to focus on eating local. After all, a plant-based diet tends to have a much smaller carbon footprint than a diet that includes meat. That is because a pound of steak requires many more pounds of grain as feed —and all the carbon emissions associated with that, from fertilizers that are derived from fossil fuels to the fuel for the combines used for the harvest, he said. 

I know what i’m eatin’ on my century next year

Here’s all the food an übermensch needs to bike all day long.

“The purer something is,” he said, “the dirtier it will become.”

Food blogging from the K’s couch….actually kinda a good blogging environment.Here’s a little tale about dirty expired secrets in Japanese sweets.Besides, who can beat a quote like that?
