Grist’s advice columnist, Umbra Fisk, has a couple of recent columns with unusual food advice. The first answers the question, “Should I buy store-brand organics?” while the second tackles the ethics of vegetarians eating homegrown meat. Fisk’s responses? Big-scale organics aren’t necessarily the best, and homegrown meat (i.e., eating your own chickens) ain’t so bad, at least from an environmental perspective.
