The Salt: NPR

NPR’s The Salt is an extraordinarily entertaining food blog with an eye toward “food news from the farm to the plate and beyond.” The site updates daily. Recent articles have covered such topics as faux fish made from plants, an investment fund that is bankrolling environmentally sustainable fish farming, and a debate about whether oranges or orange juice are more nutritious. The articles are fresh and punchy, highlighting the simultaneous seriousness and absurdity of food and food culture in sparkling prose.
