The Lincoln Square restaurant’s final dinner service will take place Dec. 22, just over one year since chef Iliana Regan announced her official departure from the restaurant she opened in 2012 and named for her departed sister.

They sat at tables reserved for guests and held mock menus outlining the environmental costs of items on the restaurant’s menu, including steak and veal.

In a statement, the group said that they are campaigning for a plant-based food system and the creation of a mass-rewilding programme.

“Hunger is a solvable problem,” said Lisa Davis, the senior vice president of the No Kid Hungry Campaign of Share Our Strength, a nonprofit anti-hunger organization. “So right now, as we’re all seeing some

Disgust: Where food, law and emotions converge

admin 2 years ago

How many times do people need to be reminded that texting while driving, or not washing one’s hand after manipulating poultry, is a bad idea? Despite the information about accident or illness occurrence under each behavior, most people go on as if it has nothing to do with them. The court is right, this is not ignorance, most of time it is neglect. According to behavioral economics professor Dan Ariely, what should be the rational approach of just telling people that “texting while driving is dangerous,” — just as arguably cross-contamination can be detrimental to health — it is not
