...latest green obsession is mâche, also known as lamb's lettuce or corn salad. Full of antioxidants, vitamin A, calcium and potassium, and with a buttery texture, the sweet, nutty green has been cultivated for centuries in Europe but wasn't widely available commercially in the U.S. When Koons' Epic Roots shipped its first field-grown mâche in 2002, the bags could be found in fewer than 100 stores; now more than 3,000 stores carry them.

Spending a day at the hospital with the MSF team reveals the scope of the crisis. "Oh, man, this one is really bad," an Australian doctor shouts as he approaches the operating theater. He's holding up the arm of a man whose limb looks like a shank of lamb. The elbow is essentially gone, and the lower and upper arm is barely held together by a few sinewy strings of muscle and flesh.
