When you think of the last time you dined out at a restaurant, what are the things that stick out most in your mind? Is it the food, either good or bad, that leaves a lasting impression, determining whether or not you will return in the future? Is it the service that was offered? Was your waiter friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the food, or were you ignored and brushed off as just another nuisance in the life of your server?? All of these are expectable questions, and the answers to most are just as common, but have you ever really thought about what goes into the plate that is brought to your table? Delete the scoop?

A few years ago, Sir John Beddington, the UK government’s chief scientific advisor stated that with the world’s population growing, food supplies diminishing, and water supplies becoming more scarce, all of these factors would combine to form a ‘perfect storm’ in 2030 resulting in food shortages and rioting. However, the New England Complex Systems Institute believes he is way too optimistic with his timing. In fact, the complexity theorists think that if we don’t reverse the current trend in food prices, we’ve got until August 2013 before social unrest sweeps the planet.

There are many Made in the USA lists throughout the internet, nearly all of them tacky and in poor taste. These awful websites have led me to compile a list of stylish and cool brands that make their goods in America. One of my goals with this is to make it easier to locate and buy domestically produced apparel products. Another motivating factor is my desire for things Made in the USA to be embraced by a younger, more stylish consumer. Delete the scoop?

If you have plans after work, you probably don't have time to run home first, so you're stuck in the same suit from 8 a.m. to midnight. But you don't want to look like a junior analyst at the bar (even if you are one)—and you're not fooling anyone by stuffing your tie in your pocket. So we transformed three of the most common suits in a man's office wardrobe—navy, charcoal, and khaki—into three fresh going-out ensembles just by adding, or losing, a few small things.

Your friends are right: organic food does have some benefits, but depending on what your friends told you, some may be bigger than others. For example, there's a lot of controversy around a new study published by the American College of Physicians that reviewed over 200 studies and determined that organic foods do not have higher vitamin or mineral content than the same foods grown using conventional methods.
However, that's one piece in a much bigger puzzle when it comes to your personal buying habits. It's a sticky topic, but let's start with what exactly it means to be "organic," and then try to help you decide if you should buy organic or not. Delete the scoop?

Buy local, shrink the distance food travels, save the planet. The locavore movement has captured a lot of fans. To their credit, they are highlighting the problems with industrialized food.
