If you like food and cooking, you should check out Michael Ruhlman's blog. He is not a vegetarian, but he has a deep appreciation for food, not just because of how it tastes, but the role it plays in our lives.
Some of his interested posts include why we shouldn't trust any food labels, how he bought and butchered an entire hog, and links to articles about how some small farmers are using oxen and horses to plow instead of tractors.
Ruhlman is on some episodes of Anthony Bourdain's show. they make a funny pair. Speaking of entire hog - Reserve (where we go for our charcutweeterie event) bought a hog from traverse city and made a bunch of things for it over the past few months. I got to try lardo which is just thin slices of pig fat... sounds disgusting but was oh so good!
