Eda’s father, Al Adreveno, purchased Daylight Farms in the 1950s, growing flowers for buyers in San Francisco, just 30 miles away. He built glass greenhouses to protect some of the plants, a decision that is central to November’s vote.

Analysts forecast that soymeal demand in the next few months will continue to fall from the previous year.

So why can’t we eat the shell? The truth is, like many things in nature around us, you can eat it, but you may not like the results. The result of my trying to eat the shells of the sunflower seeds at the ball game that fateful summer? A weekend at home in discomfort. Though I was fortunate to experience only mild stomach pain, eating lots of sunflower seed shells has been known to cause constipation that can result in painful blockage. Additionally, the sharp edges of the shells can cause tears in your esophagus or elsewhere along your digestive tract. Another reason to spit the shells instead of eating them.

We had to get to the weird, eventually. Who better to start us off than Lady Gaga? Jezebel reports that "one mannequin with puffy pink [body] hair" is a must-have for Gaga. So are Queen posters. Then it starts to get specific.

Heftier mains include a split, pan-seared sea bream ($25) in a classically simple Mediterranean sauce vierge (olive oil, lemon, tomato, parsley and thyme) over quinoa and roasted broccolini, and a filleted, flattened whole roasted branzino ($32) with just a bit of skin left on, scattered with slices of yellow squash, fennel and bits of crisped speck—two marvels of bright flavors and different, skillfully wrought cooking techniques. Vegetarians are well served by delicately fried maitake mushrooms ($22), fragrant with black garlic and served over crisp, rectangular polenta cakes. A rare miss is a side of confitted boutique carrots ($6) that are off-tasting, funky in a not-good way. Canonical bistro-style proteins are straightforward and excellent, including a surprisingly unchewy (perhaps mechanically tenderized) grilled bavette steak ($28) in a punchy green peppercorn sauce over chunky mashed potatoes; a roast half chicken ($25) that evokes—if not quite nails—the fabled Gordon Hamersley ideal; and an impeccable, tall, pub-style burger piled with Comté, caramelized sweet onions and sweet pickles on a glossy, substantial bun alongside great fries. Pastry chef Alexandra Artinian’s inventive desserts include a grapefruit posset ($9), an almost obscenely creamy colonial-vintage pudding gaudily layered with white-chocolate streusel, basil and translucent sesame tuille.

This was our first time stopping/eating at the restaurant. I had a plate stacked with hot and sizzling braised bison ribs with a traditional wojapi sauce (Ojibwe word meaning “berry sauce”) and a bowl of green chile stew with tribal sourced hominy, potato, and New Mexico green chile. These two dishes reminded me of home as an indigenous chef, because I am familiar with all the ingredients. What was more recognizable were the authentic ingredients that speak volumes on ancestral memory and flavors of what real American cuisine is.

Alternative medicine has revealed that ginger, honey, and hibiscus flower essence, when combined, is an old folk remedy that’s been handed down from generation to generations.

There’s a lot of protein in cottonseeds—enough to meet the daily requirements of 600 million people should all cotton in the world be replaced with edible varieties, Hake said by telephone.

Taylor Swift’s backstage demands are straight-up adorable. If she’s arriving before 11 a.m., Taylor requests two Starbucks beverages– one grande iced Americano and one grande iced caramel latte (both with Sweet’n Low).
