    Looking your bacon in the eye: Notes from a slaughter class

    The content is worth reading but the writing (by a University of Illinois grad student) is absolutely first-rate. It's so good, that I started re-reading the article, just to look for errors!

    From the webzine: The Ethicurean

    Quoted: (...) I truly believe that humane slaughter is important and possible, but, as I have been learning, here’s the truth about any slaughter: it is both morally difficult and really gross. (...) With a public unwilling to acknowledge the living nature of their food source, the meat industry has been free to institute practices that no compassionate person can countenance.

    The 50 best foods in the world and where to eat them | The Observer

    Inspiring (I'm hungry). "Not the best" is always sufficient for the day-to-day, but getting close is an experience that stays with you forever. It makes the humdrum more fun by the memories it inspires. On the other hand, sometimes it makes you so angry about poorly-prepared food that you refuse to eat it: I'd much rather eat bristling sardines with Nabisco saltines than eat badly-made sushi.

    Quoted: Killian Fox roamed the world to find the 50 best things to eat and the best places to eat them in, with a little help from professionals like Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux, Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray
