First of this summer that is. Roasted tomatillos, lime, garlic, onion, cilantro, tabasco and serrano chiles and salt. It’s breakfast, lunch and dinner for me in the summer. With eggs in the morning, with corn chips or quesadilla for lunch and chile verde for dinner. Mmmm.

And why not? After all, the better-food movement is essentially traditionalist, calling for old ways over new ways, heritage foods over GMO grub, and independent food production over centralized industry. Quibbles? The American Conservative doesn’t care much about food justice.
Britain’s Prince Charles has long been an advocate of organic food. Now he’s taking on GMO (genetically modified organism) food. Chaz told the Telegraph that, in his opinion, GMO food is a “gigantic experiment I think with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong.” See the Prince give the straight dope on the Telegraph’s video of him, too.
