Links Galore, Links Galore

Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce (and why there are 36 kinds of Ragu)

What the world eats (answer: things in boxes and fake looking fruit, except in Ecuador)

A vegan in a Hummer may not be better than a carnivore in a Prius (though there are no vegans in Hummers, so really it's irrelevant).
