Giovanni Tamburini, owner of a family delicatessen in the heart of Bologna's historic center, speaks like a proud butcher one minute and a philosophy professor the next. As lunchtime customers pass before the 150 available varieties of sausage hanging nearby, Tamburini explains that understanding food is like studying archaeology. "There are always new discoveries to be uncovered," the bulky connoisseur declares, after one of his regular customers recommends...

Outside the U.N. meeting, a woman dressed in nothing but lettuce leaves and representing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals handed out flyers while delegates nearby tucked into huge slabs of meat at the Butcher Shop and Grill restaurant. On the pavement outside, Solar Cookers International showed passers-by how to cook with a piece of silver cardboard and a pot.
