how is eating little fish ethical or sustainable?

since most of the big fish of the oceans have been fished out, just move on to the next best thing -- and fish them out, too?

This is a good call as food of the future, because we survived on it big-time in the past and it’s using the entire animal: a good hedge against food scarcity. But beware, in the townships of Africa, offal is served up (and liked) ‘dirty’. this may be one step too far in any forward business strategy!

Is a no nonsense mash up of all the cultures that have everycrossed through South Asia, English, Dutch, Chinese, Muslim, Thai, Japanese and Portugese food all rolled into one. Anthony Bourdain did a special on this and it has motivated me to visit Singapore.

I agree with most of this, but #9 is straight lifted from Calvin Trillin’s article in last year’s food issue of the New Yorker.

I am lucky enough to live in a city where I can find restaurants that serve these many different cuisines. I have heard of many of them (AND tried many of them!) and am happy to see that GOOD brought them into the spotlight. I believe it is important to expose yourself to many different cultures and food is one aspect of these cultures (a very delicious aspect!)

The dessert tasting menu at Providence in LA is definitely a must! It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.

I take no pleasure in saying that this was a horrendous piece. Small plates were labeled the “next big thing” about 5 years ago, Room 4 Dessert was deemed permanently closed well before this issue went to print, and the offal trend has come, gone, and met only mediocre success. People who like heart will always like heart, people who don’t, don’t. There’s no turning into the next big thing.

I completely agree with you here. Small plates? Been there. Done that. Americans are far too used to huge plates of food. There’s even a commercial about it now. We want more than we pay for. And offal? Get real! Thinking people eat this stuff? Why? It’s repugnant. And it is NOT going to be the next big thing. How about fastfood that is truly nutritous & organic? Now that should be the next big thng in food. Someone please start a chain!

Having just returned home to China from Singapore and other Asian countries, I’ll attest to Singaporean street food, mangosteens, bibimbap, and hot pot. I sure hope they’re the rage when I get back to America, or I’ll sorely miss them.

If food irradiation is put in place, it will destroy the medicinal properties of fresh produce, thereby blocking the prevention of diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. This, in turn, has the effect of creating a windfall of sick people that will fill the coffers of drug companies (who are, of course, the FDA’s clients).
