Food politics, rounded up

AlterNet’s new food section

By Culinate staff

February 10, 2010

The webzine AlterNet recently launched a food section rounding up stories about our modern food system. Check out Martha Rosenberg’s skewering of the FDA for banning a drug for humans but allowing it for livestock, Sara Novak’s down-and-dirty look at urban chicken-keeping, and Eliot Coleman’s defense of small organic farming.

The site also has a roundup of food films and video websites that mentions Culinate fave Cooking Up A Story. No podcasts, though; if you’re looking for that, check out Culinate columnist Matthew Amster-Burton’s latest project, Spilled Milk, done in tandem with fellow food blogger Molly Wizenberg.
