I totally agree that everyone should check out Charmian Christie's post on food prices and I really want to make that portobello salad on Kevin's blog!
Great photography tips. I gotta get more natural light in my dinning room.
Thanks for the positive vibes, Dana! Agreed on both counts.
Dave, I have the same problem, which is my excuse for why my food photographs are pretty weak sometimes. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Daniel,
I'm back to add more info wrt Charmian's post. Paul Sawtell, the man Charmian and I both interviewed made comments on our blogs recommending the Paul Rubin book "Why your planet is going to get a whole lot smaller" (hope I got the title correct). Anyhow, I've just heard Rubin on CBC radio and he was fascinating on the subject of food and food prices.
He was on CBC radio one’s program THE HOUSE which is available online for those interested in hearing him speak.
Even more interesting, is that the next few weeks that program is going to follow up on some of his hypotheses about globalization and explore them from other sides
The programs will be available online live and as podcasts:

Excellent, Dana, thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the shout out, Daniel (and Dana). So many great links! I found some new-to-me blogs thanks to this post.
Anytime Charmian! That was an exceptional post, I was really happy to bring it to my readers.
