  Quote: A biologist walks into a sushi bar and orders some tuna. What does he get? Escolar, a nasty fish with buttery flesh that can cause bizarre episodes of diarrhea, accompanied by a waxy intestinal discharge. Added: November 20, 2009 at 5:42PM EST

- Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food
- Time
- Ryan said: A Time Magazine cover story on factory farming. Great first graf starts something like this: "Somewhere in Iowa, a pig is being raised in a confined pen, packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won't bite one another. To prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters, he is dosed with antibiotics."

- Department of Justice to Explore Competition in Agriculture
- Civil Eats
- Ryan said: If you eat processed food, chances are it came from one of an extremely small handful of corporations. I'm not terribly confident they have our best interests, like, say, our health, in mind. So I'm glad to see the Obama administration crew starting a conversation, at the very least, about competition and regulation in the food production industry.
