    • A Hobson's Choice

      Tom Laskawy Tom Laskawy, food policy blogger
      Something to eat is better than hungry but not as good as food.


    • No Funds for Fast Food

      Michelle Gourdine Michelle Gourdine, doctor and author, "Reclaiming Our Health"
      "Eat right because I said so."

    • Needed: Welfare Reform

      Robert Rector Robert Rector, Heritage Foundation
      "In the long term, the food stamp program should be reoriented to deal with the causes and not merely the symptoms of poverty. In particular, as the recession ends, able-bodied food stamp recipients who are not working should be required to work or prepare for work as a condition for receiving aid."
      Work or starve.


    • Food Stamps and Obesity

      Diane M. Gibson Diane M. Gibson, Baruch College
      At least she is thinking.

    Using food stamps or the current equivalent program to support home delivery of prepared meals seems a good idea that should be implemented.

      Europe Stifles Drivers in Favor of Mass Transit and Walking
      “Europe Stifles Drivers in Favor of Mass Transit and Walking - http://nyti.ms/jX7YyW #fb” 
      Apparently the traffic engineers have decided that Robert Moses got it right the first time.  There are still some traffic circles or the remains of them in the earliest parkways.  They were the predecessor of the clover leaf.
      There is one at Grand Army Plaza in front of the Victory Gate.
      NPR has a story on circles today.

    Let Teachers Teach - Room for Debate
    If teachers were given unencumbered classroom time to actually teach, perhaps the argument for a longer school day would become moot.
    Whine     
    The benefit is to the parents.  They need more child-free time to more nearly satisfy their managers.

    Bring Naps, Recess and the Arts Back to School - Room for Debate
    In the absence of time to engage in rest, in physical activity and in disciplined creativity, it’s doubtful that more hours of traditional study will do children much good.
    This is just what Vern Williams is complaining of.
    The benefit is to the parents.

    Fruit Growers, and the U.S., Would Suffer - Room for Debate
    If production costs suddenly increased because of labor shortage or higher wages, consumers would probably shift to similar and less expensive imported fruit.
    Specify that relief will only pay for fair trade food.

    Have Consumers Become More Willing to Pay for Content? - Room for Debate
    Have consumers changed their expectations about what media will be free or cheap, as the Napster era has yielded to iTunes?
    Those Napster type businesses have been driven out.
    We have many fewer ways to get music without paying fees.
