As a foodie and food writer, Mark Bittman and Michael Pollan are among my personal heroes. The New York Times today published a short list of some important stories by them (and Gary Taubes, who I am just getting to know). They are longer articles, but well worth a look, if you are interested in the state of the American diet!

On a recent trip to the mountains of Puerto Rico, I was inspired by a wonderfully cooling and exotic sangría I had up around and about El Yumque (Caribbean National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Forest Service system) at Noelia’s, recommended to us […]
