That awakening is enhanced by growing contact between students and farmers. At the University of Portland's local-foods lunch, fish broker Amy Dickson set up a display with shells, nets and a sign reading SIGNATURE SALMON: 100% LINE-CAUGHT IN OREGON WATERS. "My slogan is 'Roe vs. Wave: Salmon is a choice,'" she joked. Aaron Silverman of Greener Pastures Poultry gave out brochures describing how his chickens "wobble around as they please." And wheat farmer Karl Kupers touted the environmental benefits of no-till planting. "Students come up and shake your hand and call you a hero," said Kupers...
...etiquette schools are proliferating to meet demand from yuppies who crave guidance on eating, dressing and working in an international environment. At Shanghai's June Yamada Academy, students pay $900 for a multiweek course during which they dine at a five-star hotel and learn the difference between a fish knife and a butter knife.

The embattled makers of Bumble Bee, StarKist and Chicken of the Sea--which account for 85% of the tuna sold in the U.S.--are fighting back with plans for a marketing campaign that will spotlight...
...giving a thumbs-up to the tuna industry's commercials. The OMB declined to comment. "There's a problem with government-approved commercials that imply there is nothing to worry about.
