Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Grist, that handy resource for environmental news and commentary, is spending the next two weeks focusing on food in a series called Sow What? They are diving into the heartland, talking to writers and researchers, taking a look at sustainable farming practices and generally trying to provide good information about the world of food that's out there these days.
Currently they have an article up about industrial agriculture in Iowa, a quiz in which you can test your own knowledge about food and farming, a look at Confined Animal Feeding Operations (pig farms) and a slide show of images from the sustainable food revolution. They'll continue to post information over the next two weeks, so make sure to check back and see what else they have to say.

Bacteriological fixation can provide at best enough nitrogen to grow crops to feed 2.8 billion people. There are over 6 billion people alive now, and most nitrogen is fixed by artificial fertilizer. If civilization falls, half the population will starve within the first two years, the other half will start eating each other.
