Big Organic
 / 

Last week’s New Yorker featured an interesting piece by Steven Shapin on the American organic food industry and how it’s come to mirror the rest of Big Ag. I’ve moved Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma to the top of my reading list.

Favorite part of the article? My rediscovery of the word “immured,” which is how Shapin describes a shipment of organic asparagus that had been held up in distribution from Argentina. The word conjures up images of Fortunato shouting for Montresor. Almost as fun as my discovery of the German word for “bra”: büstenhalter.

Sad that Peter Viereck died. Good that The New Yorker put the awesome article about him online. (See also.)

Blender’s made a list of the 500 greatest songs written since you were born. Assuming you, like me, were born in 1980. (Yglesiastical.)

I agree with Jack Shafer, the new NYT public editor puts the lame in Calame. (BuzzMachinetic.)

Founded in 2003, Snarkmarket is a long-running conversation about media, journalism, technology, cities, design, books, music, movies, the future, and the past.

The title, it should be said, is a misnomer. You’ll see.
