  Have to agree with the above. Love you guys, but this new design is pretty obnoxious — in-your-face and unbelievably cluttered. I've always loved how professional-looking grist is. This looks like just another teenage blogger's project. :(

  egg and poultry demand

  In reference to Melody's comments... no, we cannot meet the current poultry and egg demands of U.S. consumers with truly free-range, pastured chickens. The solution is an overall reduction in consumption of meat, which absolutely needs to happen both for environmental and public health reasons, and were prices to increase across the board, Americans would buy less chicken and fewer eggs. It's sad that the majority of consumers in this country (across the world?) don't make the decision to consume less until it hits our wallets, but in this case, since factory farms aren't transparent enough for people to see what they're buying (which I have a feeling would also affect eating habits), the price increase will have to do. Poor-quality poultry protein is absolutely not necessary for the human body to thrive.On After landslide victory for Prop. 2, national farm industry squawks posted 1 year ago 14 Responses

  Agreed

  Loved how you describe being so absorbed in your own ideals that you tend to assume the rest of society shares them. Hope to join you in SF in a few months!On Toward a civil, inclusive national conversation on food -- over a savory tart posted 1 year, 6 months ago 4 Responses

  You do know that Coke owns Atlanta, right?

  Good Lord. The funny thing is that Linton Hopkins is one of the most respected chefs in Atlanta. I left for D.C. before he opened this new little venture, but at his main place, Restaurant Eugene, his ingredient sourcing is impeccable--seasonal, sustainable, and much of it local. He's really active with Georgia Organics, helped start up the city's first school garden, a neighborhood farmers' market, etc.
  That's a pretty sick, video, though. I confess I couldn't make it all the way through, and I'm sort of grossed out he's making such an obnoxious alliance with the bastards. Coke's overbearing presence in Atlanta can be nauseating in itself, as it is. If you want a Pepsi, you probably have to drive to Florida for it.On Yes, according to a new 'artisanal' restaurant in Atlanta posted 1 year, 7 months ago 5 Responses

  Ugh

  So sick, and yet so predictable. Shall we even begin to count the USDA and FDA officials with significant ties to agribusiness, industrial food processors and the pharmaceutical industry? So who in the government is, exactly, truly invested in public health? On Scientist with concerns about chemical removed from EPA panel posted 1 year, 9 months ago 7 Responses
