Here are some of the topics we've covered this week on Growers & Grocers
- I'm a big fan of the Ethicurean blog, after learning about it when I met one of the contributors
- Add Maryland to the list of states requesting disaster relief because of odd weather. Massive rains decimated commercial chicken farms.
- Did you know there was an article about high-fructose corn syrup in last week's New York Times? Find out what the blogosphere is saying about it, if you've missed the conversation.
- A new sticker will tell apple farmers when their fruit is ripe. But won't they pick it early anyway so they can ship it around the country?
- It'd be nice if the USDA told consumers which chicken plants failed the generous allowances for salmonella, but fortunately Food and Water Watch decided to do the job in their place.
