  1. @SkepticalVegan I once had my words distorted by a Norwegian tabloid. No link, no mention that they found my work online, didn't talk to me. 40 minutes ago via web in reply to SkepticalVegan
  2. @SkepticalVegan I like that they admit that their research on SMCH came from internet searches. But I think they should link to sources. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to SkepticalVegan
  3. "focus on ingredient and chef pedigree has morphed into an aesthetic cult for...wealthy...status trumps sustainability" slate.me/KyrYLR about 4 hours ago via web
  4. Brilliant piece on foodies slate.me/KyrYLR "every meal has to be an experience, and every chef has to be an artist." about 4 hours ago via web
  5. @SkepticalVegan @geneticmaize @food_ethics @franknfoode Last four digits don't conform to PLU specs; I wouldn't assume the first one does. 10:37 AM May 24th via web in reply to SkepticalVegan
  6. @SkepticalVegan @geneticmaize @food_ethics @franknfoode For GMO PLU, the last 4 digits should match list; optional prefix 8 designates GMO. 10:35 AM May 24th via web in reply to SkepticalVegan
  7. @SkepticalVegan @geneticmaize @food_ethics @franknfoode That number probably isn't a PLU, since 3424 is for carrots bit.ly/4vLM78 10:23 AM May 24th via web in reply to SkepticalVegan
  8. @PythaCrank @geneticmaize My bookmarks on #dontdestroyresearch are here but I'm surely missing a lot: bit.ly/Lu610A 9:17 AM May 24th via web in reply to PythaCrank
  9. @geneticmaize I actually didn't know, I just knew he's a journalism professor. His website only mentions an English degree. 12:17 PM May 18th via web in reply to geneticmaize
  10. I criticize @michaelpollan a lot, but good for him for not signing on to this endorsement of #occupythefarm bit.ly/JAgVnM 9:02 AM May 18th via web
  11. Polyunsaturated fats and heart disease bit.ly/JN6UQt 5:06 AM May 17th via web
  12. @TPPratt It gets attention now and then. See, for instance, bit.ly/hk9tKm bit.ly/pMVxgM bit.ly/bIXQCt 9:24 PM May 14th via web in reply to TPPratt
  13. researcher on #occupythefarm "advocates of a moderately good idea who have a vastly inflated view of their own virtue" bit.ly/JJz9Rq 12:33 PM May 12th via web
  14. @oconnord I'm interested in this. I know many supporters of the farm and would like to talk about it w/ them. Email amerberg@gmail.com ? 8:57 PM May 11th via web in reply to oconnord
  15. Great column on #occupythefarm bit.ly/JFrEel "research...more important than...two dozen or so people growing 2 acres...of anything" 7:46 AM May 11th via web
  16. @diplocockeyed Microbial ecology. You've probably heard of Ignacio Chapela? He recommended reading "The Ontogeny of Information" by Oyama. 1:59 PM May 9th via web in reply to diplocockeyed
  17. @diplocockeyed @PythaCrank @SkepticalVegan I think it needs to be even more basic. An anti-GE prof told me the central dogma was a failure. 1:01 PM May 9th via web in reply to diplocockeyed
