"ethical" news and stories

I recently came across The Ethicurean, a group blog that covers a variety of food related issues such as sustainability, organic farming and eating locally. I'm not sure if they coined the "SOLE food" acronym (Sustainable, Organic, Local, Ethical) but I wholeheartedly appreciate its corniness. (They also get props for "chew the right thing.") I particularly enjoy their digest-style "Snacking between meals" posts. It appears they're only about two months old, and I look forward to seeing how the blog develops.

Worried about GM Easter chocolates or just generally concerned for the environment? This Easter take a look at the Hoppy Treats from Endangered Species. These individually wrapped chocolates are .35-ounces of socially responsible goodness. All Endangered Species chocolate is ethically traded to ensure fair wages and good working conditions for farmers and employees and the chocolates are all-natural. The chocolates come in milk and dark varieties. The dark chocolate is 70% cocoa content and is certified kosher. The milk chocolate has a 52% cocoa content and is also certified kosher. They sell for $5.50 per pack of 24 candies.
