Chocolate: worth its weight in gold?
The Independent - 11/9/2010.

By Anthea Gerrie – Fancy a bit of chocolate? An afternoon Kit Kat with your cup of tea? A chunk of fruit and nut? Go on, you've earned it. Except that in the future, chocoholics might have to work quite a bit harder to pay for their fix.

Rooting for Celery Root
Zester Daily - 11/9/2010.

By Terra Brockman – As the winter holidays approach, big vegetables (and big meats) tend to take center stage. While the weighty winter squashes and bright sweet potatoes garner raves, the true culinary star, celery root, waits quietly in the wings for those sensitive to her considerable talents.

Grist - 11/9/2010.Although the Senate failed to pass the Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510) before the election, word is that it will take it back up during the lame-duck session in November. We've invited 10 people from the various sides of this complicated yet crucial debate to discuss whether there is indeed a food-safety crisis, whether S. 510 will make it better, and whether it will throw small producers under the bus in doing so.

Grist - 11/9/2010.Tom Philpott, Grist senior food writer: I'll kick things off. Absolutely. The crisis has three facets – each of which must be addressed if we want to quell the endless stream of spectacular outbreaks.
