Site of the Day for Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Civil Eats
Today's site offers thoughtful commentary about America's agricultural
practices and their effects on the foods reaching the consumer. Gentle
Subscribers will find hard-hitting and controversial coverage of the many
ramifications of the "food landscape."
"Civil Eats is a daily news source for critical thought about the American food
system. We publish stories that shift the conversation around sustainable
agriculture in an effort to build economically and socially just communities.
Founded in January 2009, Civil Eats is a community resource of over 100
contributors who are active participants in the evolving food landscape from
Capitol Hill to Main Street." - from the website
This straightforward publication turns a gimlet eye on a range of diverse
topics germane to the overall food industry in the U.S. Recent reports have
looked at an agri-business battle over wide scale pesticide use in Hawaii, the
sources and effects of toxic algae on rivers and lakes, and on a slightly less
grim note, a salute to The New Farmer's Almanac. Broad categories of concern
include Food Justice, Health, Environment, Eating Culture, and Food Policy,
while more specific areas consider labeling, school food, nutrition and urban
agriculture among others.
