Your Tuesday round up of interesting bits and pieces I’ve been finding online:

• Why Big Ag Won’t Feed the World – The Atlantic Food Channel
• Why are libertarian right wingers defending a dysfunctional, state-engineered food system? | Grist
• Destroying Sustainability along with Inventory (This one really stings. Not only did my publisher “pulp” the paperback copies of Place Last Seen when it went out of print, they screwed up my order and damaged the copies so badly that they never even sent them. I have one copy of my own paperback. Sigh.)
• Saving Michigan With a New Green Industrial Revolution
• Another Salmonella outbreak: this time Salami (maybe)
• Contraband Chickens Invade Canada
