- Every time I start wondering whether I really need to subscribe to The Atlantic when I barely have enough time to keep up with all the other things I have to read, the magazine manages to sink its hook into me again. This time around, it did so with an interesting, well-written article by B.R. Myers on foodies and foodie-ism.
- Bryan McDonald has a good post about the potential link between food prices and political unrest.
- One more from The Atlantic: Megan McArdle has a good post discussing Mark Bittman’s comment on the new USDA dietary guidelines.
