...important one is to not take myself too seriously, and not take the writing too serious, and to approach it with a sense of humor and a grain of salt, and remember that they are just characters in what is trying to be a campus spy novel.

And while I don’t mind some wheat toast and a hardboiled egg, I’m not sure that will sustain my palate five days a week for an entire semester.

And Bon Appétit supports a low-carbon diet, one that uses less meat and dairy, since both have a greater carbon footprint than fruit, vegetables and grain. The success of the overall operation demonstrates that sustainable food can work at an institutional scale bigger than an élite restaurant, a small market or a gourmet's kitchen - provided customers support it. "Ultimately it's going to be consumer demand that will cause change, not Washington," says Fedele Bauccio...
