The URLs for two recent local (San Francisco area) print media articles
on food are below. Please note that the "slow food" article below is
not centered on raw or veg foods. However, some here might find these
articles of interest:

2001 issue of the "Monthly" newspaper. Paul interviews the "Produce Pair"
on a variety of topics, including sex and fresh produce:

If your mail reader splits the above URLs, you may need to cut and paste
(and repair) to get them  to work in your browser. (I had some
difficulty getting the Kilduff file URL to work. Hope it works
for you as well.)
