Score one more for the flexitarians:

"A person following a low-fat vegetarian diet, for example, will need less than half (0.44) an acre per person per year to produce their food," said Christian Peters, M.S. '02, Ph.D. '07, a Cornell postdoctoral associate in crop and soil sciences and lead author of the research. "A high-fat diet with a lot of meat, on the other hand, needs 2.11 acres."

"Surprisingly, however, a vegetarian diet is not necessarily the most efficient in terms of land use," said Peters.

The reason is that fruits, vegetables and grains must be grown on high-quality cropland, he explained. Meat and dairy products from ruminant animals are supported by lower quality, but more widely available, land that can support pasture and hay. A large pool of such land is available in New York state because for sustainable use, most farmland requires a crop rotation with such perennial crops as pasture and hay.

Like many New Yorkers, or probably like anyone who lives in a small space, I have occasional dreams where I find an extra room in my apartment that I never knew existed. I guess it would be even better if the room was filled with rare old wine. And if it wasn't, you know, a dream.

Not cheap at $40per (pre-fix, one beer, big tip), but yummy.....

was overfed and over indulged by the new manager at gemma last night, the new restaurant at the bowery hotel. would have been a pleasant meal were it not for my bloated obnoxious boothmate. oh wait, that was me. very nice space. thought the food was good but not spectacular. and the service was helpful although slightly clueless. timeout was supremely unimpressed. im probably a little bit easier to please. the remnants of the nutella calzone will go well with the coffee ive left steeping in the french press for 20 minutes.

Liver Flush #3

Started the apple juice and vegan food diet Sunday, I am looking forward to #3 as I feel that I am ready to really purge the toxin's......
#1 was better than #2 to me, but my body feels ready to get let go....

Liver Flush #4 will be 4 weeks after followed by 2 Master Clease's #3/4 (as my last one failed so I will not count that) in Nov/Dec....

So 8 programs in 2007, maybe I will meet my grandkids.....

The Flexitarian Table @ 171 East Broadway

Ron Castellano and Joel Barkley’s new restaurant inspired from chef Peter Berley’s “The Flexitarian Table” cookbook. The dishes from the book appeal to a sophisticated palate that may or may not want a meat free dinner (think mix and match meat). Slated to open October 2007

I guess this is a couple months old, but I just saw a story on CNN and that's the first I heard of it: Grant Achatz diagnosed with cancer of the tongue. Traditional surgical methods would most likely result in the loss of his palette, so he's trying some other things first. Achatz founded the Chicago molecular gastronomic restaurant Alinea, often named as the top restaurant in the U.S.

Don't want to kill an animal in Reno, just to eat it up? Pneumatic Diner, 501 W. First at Ralston St., near the Truckee River walk. For those who crave animal protein, they serve eggs all day. I recommend the huevos rancheros. The tofu parmigian was good too.
