The Federal Crackdown on Animal Activists
Will Potter has a not-to-be-missed post on his Green is the New Red blog.

California Excludes Agriculture from Climate Change Efforts
California has released a plan for reducing statewide carbon dioxide emissions. Only one problem: despite being America’s largest farm producer, agriculture is left entirely off the hook:
Of the 174 million metric tons of CO2 emissions reductions targeted in California’s legally binding “Scoping Plan,” not one ton is expected to come from agriculture.

Two Kinds Of Vegans
I hear a lot of people saying that veganism is a boycott. They say the reason to be vegan is to lower the demand for animal products. Is that true? Is that why you’re vegan?

Lettuce Wraps With Hoisin Mustard Tofu, Unfried Fried Rice, 5 Spice Butternut Squash
Dinner 9/29
Lettuce Wraps With Hoisin Mustard Tofu
Unfried Fried Rice
5 Spice Butternut Squash
We picked up some beautiful lettuce from Farmer Jones over the weekend, so that meant the wraps (which were supposed to use iceberg) are not a true representation of the test recipe from Isa. Not being a big fan of iceberg (having lived through the 70’s), it might have actually been better.
While we were busy substituting with the lettuce, we also tested the baked squash dish, which was supposed to be a delicata. Lacking that, we went with the back-up butternut squash, with the always aromatic Chinese Five-Spice Powder which paired nicely with the hoisin/mustard tofu.
Surprisingly, we did manage to make the tofu and fried rice dish according to the recipe…
These are test recipes for Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s next cookbook. As part of the testing agreement, we can’t give out the recipe.
