You read menus in a very interesting way. I wonder if you could have a column, maybe at the end of some shorter articles, answering your readers' questions about what to order. I try to check out menus before I go out to eat so I don't get overwhelmed, but the way I see it, I am picking between the ingredients I like. Very basic. I never thought that the butter brings a light carbonara closer to paris. I can send you a menu from a fancy shmancy place here in melbourne and you do the picking and the explaining?! I would be so curious to see how you interpret that

I was vegetarian from age 13-30 and then I went on my first trip to the Dolomites and saw a farmer beating a cow and saw a calf chained away from its mom. Just one of those malga farms, and I realized, no, even small scale "ethical" farming is wrong. So went vegetarian immediately again. At 32.

I think everyone of us has a “button”. For me, it was reading the books by Dr. Silvia Goggi and understanding how harmful for my body animal products are. That happened in a moment when I was reading about the links between capitalism, colonialism, animal rights and feminism. Only then I managed to connect all the dots.
