This week on the round-up, three articles related to food and one about taxing traffic. I just finished a nice long bike ride, and I’m starving. Go figure…

• Food Systems Factoid Blog
  An article at Grist pointed out this great blog. Lots of very useful tidbits that put our food habits in perspective.
• Wolfgang Puck Teams up with the Humane Society
  It’s tough to be an environmentally friendly foodie. Plenty of chefs don’t believe that such a thing is possible, so it’s nice to see Wolfgang edge a bit in our direction.
• WWF Stop the Net Campaign
  WWF Canada launched a campaign to end net fishing; they do a great job of balancing the needs of fisheries, consumers, and the environment in their outreach. Check out the media tab for some great print, tv, and radio ads.
• $57 Daily Commute
  I already love my bike, but I bet I’d love it even more if it saved me $57 a day. As John Whitehead points out, that’s over $14k a year!
