"group" news and stories

Ben & Jerry's seems to be tops among many ice-cream eaters, but the feeling is particularly strong among the library-going set.

How else to explain the thousands strong Facebook lobby "People for a library-themed Ben & Jerry's flavor!"?

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.
