'Washington Post' Launches New Food Politics Column
Gut Check is a new column that will, in author Ezra Klein's words, be "a provocative look at the policy and politics of the plate. It's about the high cost of cheap meat, and whether eating local actually makes any sense, and why the world might be better off if Congress dissolved its agricultural committees." In the inaugural installment Klein reviews Food Inc. and talks to Eric Schlosser, who consulted on the film.

I read this in my Post this morning and LOVE the idea. It was a great article and very fitting for us post readers- I love the Food section but this behind the scense stuff is really what makes this town move. Looking forward to the next column!
