Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Will the Food Safety Modernization Act better protect us from contaminated food?
Grist - 11/11/2010.Tom Philpott, Grist senior food writer: Well, obviously no single bill can address all the issues we've raised. I guess my answer is: Maybe. The best we can hope for from it is a step, probably a small one, in the right direction. It won't affect the meat supply, for example, which is one of the prime sources of hazard in the food system.

Taste the difference: How our genes, gender and even hormones affect the way we eat
The Independent - 11/11/2010.

By Kate Hilpern – Try it, it's delicious!" I often urge my children, bossily. And although I don't say it out loud, I feel equally baffled when adults are really faddy eaters or don't share my adoration of a particularly tasty morsel. It turns out I'm not a food fascist but contrary to popular belief, there is no one version of delicious.

Beyond pumpkin pie: 10 recipes
The Atlantic - 11/11/2010.Halloween is past, but its orange symbol is not forgotten in the kitchen. From an exotic Greek pumpkin pie to ravioli and risotto, our collection offers dishes both sweet and savory.

Scott’s mutant grass continues to escape
SafeLawns.org - 11/11/2010.By Paul Tukey - Jim Hagedorn, the CEO of Scotts Miracle-Gro, has admitted publicly on several occasions that the current system of lawn care is unsustainable. We’re applying too many fertilizers, made from fossil fuels, and too much water, an ever-precious resource. He and I actually agree on that point – even if we don’t agree on whether or not the weed and insect killers he sells are dangerous.
