...Veterans of the Depression's Dust Bowl might understand. But for other Americans, if the elements should conspire to bring on the corn blight, the effect would be all but unnoticed-at least for a time. U.S. farmers have increasingly turned to feeding wheat and soy or cotton seed to their cattle and hogs. Eventually, though, a scarcity of feed corn would raise its price, and the prices of other feeds would rise with it, thus increasing the cost of meat. So the ancient biblical plague would be transmogrified: rural catastrophe, like so much of the nation...
...water. The rice, vegetables (fresh, sauteed, and tempuraed), and grains are all organic. The menu includes whole dinners as well as many good invididual dishes like buckwheat noodles, miso soup, hi? jicki beans, fresh fish, and organic desserts. You can sit at a wooden table, furnished with soy sauce and sesame salt, or at the counter where service is quicker. For a bit over a dollar you can eat a healthy untainted meal. Open all week...
...reformatory in Hawthorne, N.Y. ("I was a rotten kid"), dismisses international cuisine in four sentences. "Don't be intimidated by foreign cookery," she writes. "Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good."

They make cooking sound like a fantastic science, and that makes...
...consumer affairs. Now that other national staple, the hamburger, has picked up an ally in Bess Myerson Grant, New York City's Commissioner of Consumer Affairs. The onetime (1945) Miss America has discovered that burger beef, like hot-dog meat, is being adulterated with all sorts of things: soy proteins, starchy flour, cereal and chemical additives. As a matter of fact, 156 out of 421 New York restaurants checked by her 46 inspectors were suspected of serving "shamburgers." So she has revived a long-neglected section of the city administrative code, which stipulates that "hamburger shall consist of beef...
...Seel, who has studied 919 cases of stomach cancer at the Presbyterian Medical Center in Chonju, South Korea, described the annual ritual of making soy sauce and soya paste. Each winter, virtually every household makes loaves of soybean mash and stores them in a cool, dark place, often under the eaves, so that they will get moldy. To make sure that the mold develops, some Koreans buy a pure culture and spread it on their loaves. By early spring, a furry black or gray growth covers the mash. The Koreans scrape off this "exuberant fungus," as Seel described...
