Today
at 12pm the mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe takes the guest seat
opposite Marilyn Horne on the Operavore show. She talks about her big
break back in '96 - and about taking on American Songbook standards in
recent years.
Charles C. Mann has faced up to the locavore’s dilemma. At his home in the Berkshires, he likes to eat food that has traveled directly from his own garden: heirloom tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, kale, chard, lettuce and other foods for his table. He and his family belong to a farm-share program in which they advance money each year to a farmer a few miles away in return for the farm’s crops. He loves local food, but he knows too much about it to be a truly devout locavore.
'Buy Local' Gets Creative
By RANDY KENNEDY
Community-supported art programs are popping up all over the
country, demonstrating that the concept works just as well for art
lovers as for locavores.
More Talks Set as Leaders in Greece Seek Unity Coalition
By RACHEL DONADIO and NIKI KITSANTONIS
The chances of Greek politicians’ forming a unity government all but
evaporated on Sunday, but President Karolos Papoulias said he would keep
trying.
Regulator Steps In for Samsung
South
Korea's biggest Internet-service provider agreed to resume providing
access to Samsung's smart TVs, after regulators urged the companies to
iron out differences.
IT’S hard to dismiss the current locavore boom in the Berkshires as mere fashion. In fact, the national enthusiasm for eating farm-to-table has roots in western Massachusetts.
The nation’s first agricultural fair was held in Berkshire County in
the early 19th century, and in 1986, when the country’s first two
community-supported agriculture farms were established, one was in the
southern Berkshires.

Local food (also regional food or food patriotism) or the local food movement
is a "collaborative effort to build more locally based, self-reliant
food economies - one in which sustainable food production, processing,
distribution, and consumption is integrated to enhance the economic,
environmental and social health of a particular place"[1] and is considered to be a part of the broader sustainability movement. It is part of the concept oflocal purchasing and local economies, a preference to buy locally produced goods and services. Those who prefer to eat locally grown/produced food sometimes call themselves locavores or localvores.[2]

這項研究及一系列附加的實驗發現，紅肉中的一種從未成為懷疑對象的物質——肉鹼——似乎是罪魁禍首。黑曾醫生說“肉鹼”(carnitine)存在 於紅肉中，這個名稱來自於拉丁詞carnis，也就是食肉動物(carnivore)一詞的詞根。他指出，其他食物中也有肉鹼，包括魚肉和雞肉，甚至乳製 品，不過量都很小。他說紅肉是肉鹼的主要來源，對那些大量食用紅肉的人來說，它可能是一種隱患。

Who eats most meat? Vegetarians should look awayTHE world has a burgeoning appetite for meat. Fifty years ago global consumption was 70m tonnes. By 2007—the latest year for which comparable data are available—it had risen to 268m tonnes. In a similar vein, the amount of meat eaten by each person has leapt from around 22kg in 1961 to 40kg in 2007.
Tastes have changed at the same time. Cow (beef and veal) was top of the menu in the early 1960s, accounting for 40% of meat consumption, but by 2007 its share had fallen to 23%. Pig is now the animal of choice, with around 99m tonnes consumed. Meanwhile advances in battery farming and health-related changes in Western diets have helped propel poultry from 12% to 31% of the global total.
Although populous middle-income countries such as China are driving the worldwide demand for meat, it is mainly Western countries who still eat most per person. Luxembourgers, who top this chart, are second only to Argentinians in beef consumption. Austrians are the keenest pig-eaters, wolfing down 66kg every year—just more than Serbians, Spaniards and even neighbouring Germans. At the other end of the scale, cow-revering Indians eat only 2.6kg of meat each, the least of the 177 countries assessed. See the full data.
