Rise of the Pitchforkers

By Lee van der Voo On April 12, 2012 · Add Comment · In Agriculture, Nutrition and Health, Policy and Regulation, Pollution, Science, Sustainability
Thanks to Slate and the Fund for Investigative Journalism for their support exploring the Pitchfork Rebellion in Triangle Lake, OR. Citizens angry over mudslides following clearcuts first started the movement, and are now a part of a public health inquiry probing timber town exposure to 2,4-D and Atrazine. You can find the full piece here.

Cool down with three cold soups from around the world

By Sasha Martin On September 1, 2011 · Add Comment · In Cooking, Recipes
Cold soup never appealed to me when I lived in the northern reaches of the world. I just didn’t get it. Sure, it got hot in the summer, but never for quite long enough to be interested in changing my diet. Soup was supposed to be hot,  I rationalized – enjoyed in the winter. Today [...]

SPOTLIGHT Missoula, Montana: A Garden-Fed City

By Karen On June 1, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Food Books, Gardening, Local Food, Organics, Uncategorized
CSA is a fairly familiar term these days—many of us know about community-supported agriculture. But how about agriculture-supported community? That’s precisely what Missoula, Montana is, according to Jeremy Smith, author of Growing a Garden City. While a CSA is “like a subscription to a farm,” he says, an ASC is a place where gardens and [...]

Food, AP Style

(This article originally appeared on Rambling Spoon.) Oh, how I remember that little blue book, the spiral-bound bible of the newsroom. I bought my first copy as a freshman in journalism school. It got me through Sharon Barrett’s editing class. It taught me the difference between further and farther, the plural of bus, the origins [...]

Cambodian Sour Fish Soup – Fresh, Seasonal, Local

By Karen On April 27, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Cooking, Fish, Restaurants
Happy Earth Day! Unfortunately, I’m not feeling overjoyed about the state of our planet. For months, I’ve buried my head deep into research on the many injurious things we do to Mother Earth. My plate, of late, includes everything from CAFOs to fracking, fertilizer runoff, flame retardants, E. coli, contaminated water, polluted air, overfishing, undernourishment, [...]

Predicting the Rain

By Karen On April 25, 2011 · Add Comment · In Climate Change
A Bangkok noodle vendor in a monsoon downpour.  Photos by Jerry Redfern When will it rain? Where will it rain? How much? How little? Farmers have always asked these questions, everywhere. But the added mystery in recent times is how climate change can and will affect precipitation—and what those effects will do to our food [...]

Gas Plateau

By Karen On April 21, 2011 · Add Comment · In Water
Photos by Karen J. Coates Everyone’s talking about fracking, it seems. Last week’s blowout at a Pennsylvania natural gas well made national headlines and put nearby residents on edge.

Science for Foodies

By Karen On April 21, 2011 · Add Comment · In Science
“Transpoosion” is this week’s word—perhaps you’ve heard of it. It is precisely as it sounds, a fecal transplant that replaces one person’s poo with another’s. It’s had remarkable success in restoring desirable microbes to a sick person who can’t kick a disease. I’d never heard of transpoosions before spending a week at MIT in the [...]

And We Eat Pig

“Do you want to see hunting?” Sylvester asks. We sit around a vast kitchen table, sipping whiskey in fluorescent light as a generator rumbles outside. We are planning the next day’s trek through the Kelabit highlands of Borneo, where Sylvester and his stoic friend, Tony, will guide us. “No, no that’s OK,” we answer. Jerry [...]
