Biofuels, however, are the real growth science, particularly after President George W. Bush, in his State of the Union address, called for the U.S. to quintuple its production of biofuels, primarily ethanol. That was good news to American corn farmers, who produce the crop from which the overwhelming share of domestic ethanol is made. But the manufacture of corn ethanol is still inefficient: the process burns up almost as much energy as it produces...
...freshmen. “The drive behind it is not to influence decisions about blocking, but as you move into a diverse community in houses, to see how [blocking groups] relate to social networks at Harvard,” said Styles, who is a Foundation intern. After eating corn bread, pork, macaroni and cheese, and turkey sandwiches, freshmen were asked to break off into groups of seven to play a game called “Access.” Styles asked each of the three groups to choose a volunteer. The volunteers were taken outside and asked to start...

Bison are leaner than cattle because they are still wild animals who range and eat grass; they do not tolerate confinement well, and so they cannot be fattened the way we do cattle, which we have bred to eat rich corn mixtures their entire adult lives. Growing corn to feed cattle costs the nation dearly in terms of pesticide and fertilizer runoff. The pollution and inhumanity of the confinement-feedlot beef system make it one of postwar America's biggest ecological blunders...
...Harvard Vegetarian Society maintains that HUDS is a strong ally to anyone who lives a meatless life. Even on days when vegan-friendly entrees don’t abound (for lunch on Friday Mar. 9, the only vegan dining options were miso soup and whole kennel corn), the salad bar is a perennial fallback. “You can’t really go wrong there,” says Wiggin. HUDS pulls out all the stops to keep the lentils and tofu inspired: Director for Marketing and Communications Crista Martin meets with a vegetarian committee regularly, and has worked...
