    MSN City Guides - Think Globally, Pick Locally

    In the spirit of the contaminated carrots, here's an article City Guides did last year during the tainted spinach fiasco.

    Quoted: With health and the environment top of mind for many consumers, Community Supported Agriculture is a growing field. Buying a share in a local farm means you can take your weekly dividend straight from the soil.

    MSN City Guides - Haute Cuisine, Head to Tail

    Interesting MSN City Guides article about a growing trend in restaurants using all parts of animals in preparing their menus. It's not only healthy, but environmentally friendly too! Also, that's a mighty fine headline if I may say so :)

    Quoted: Some high-end eateries are going whole hog (cow, lamb, chicken—you name it) by using every part of an animal.

    Is it better for the environment to be a vegan or a vegetarian? - Slate Magazine

    This article raises some great points. For example, in some areas, farming dairy products is less of a strain on the environment than agriculture. Also, assessing environmental effects depends on how much people buy locally.

    Quoted: As a longtime vegetarian, I've always been confident that my diet is better for the planet than that of your typical carnivore. But a vegan pal of mine says I could be doing a lot more, by rejecting all animal products—no eggs, no milk, no cheese. Is veganism really that much better for the environment?
