Kurlansky presents a startling snapshot of our nation's culinary past: a country of squirrel and opossum eaters, where few recipes didn't include cornmeal, molasses or salt pork and ash was a totally acceptable spice. "All these things like hoecakes and this Southern kind of baking - I wish there was more of that," says Kurlansky of the U.S.'s disappearing dishes. "In the West, they had sourdough pancakes.

...Farm fuels can sound like the ultimate win-win situation, reducing our dependence on carbon-intense fossil fuels while boosting demand for American farm products. And they're "renewable," which has become a kind of synonym for green. But years ago, researchers began raising concerns about the direct emissions created by the heavy machinery and petroleum-based fertilizers it takes to grow corn and other biofuel feedstocks, the energy-intensive plants that convert the crops into fuel and the trucks that transport the fuel to market. A slew of studies have concluded that when you include all these life-cycle...
...intimidation by the government, including beating and jailing parents to try and keep them silent, one group has continued to press Beijing for details on school construction and the exact number of students killed in the disaster as well as their identities and other details. It's the kind of battle routinely fought all over rural China, pitting powerful local officials and businessmen against ordinary citizens who feel they have been wronged. It's also a struggle that is almost always won by the powers that be. (See pictures of the aftermath of the Sichuan quake...
