WSJ 'Journal Report' Food section 10/17/16

[rotuts]

today's WSJ has a section on Food.  parts are interesting.  remember  its more or less a  business paper , not a cooking section

 

I could not figure out a Google search that brought this up, and generally WSJ is behind a pay-walll

The article came right up for me - probably because I don't read many WSJ articles on this computer.

 

The focus definitely seems to be on the marketing/commerce potential.  Notably absent is much in the way of "local" foods  - moringa from Latin America and Jackfruit from Southeast Asia aren't going to earn that label.  The Jackfruit as meat-substitute seems to be the only thing in the article that might have a widespread direct impact in the kitchen though.

Interesting that there's no consideration of the carbon footprint of shipping tropical fruit to North America or the effect on the local ecology if production ramps-up.

 

But that's more likely to be a NYT hand-wringing piece that will follow.
