I just came across this travel piece on Aleppo, Syria, at The New York Times' Web site:
Tourists return to Aleppo
Celebrate food, life and diversity. Join me in the search for the right ingredients: Food without human antibiotics, growth hormones and other harmful additives that have become commonplace in animals raised on factory farms.
Attention food shoppers
We are legions -- legions who are sorely neglected by the media, which prefer glorifying chefs. I love restaurants as much as anyone else, but feel that most are unresponsive to customers who want to know how the food they are eating was grown or raised. I hope my blog will be a valuable resource for helping you find the healthiest food in supermarkets, specialty stores and restaurants in northern New Jersey. In the past five years, I stopped eating meat, poultry, bread and pizza, and now focus on a heart-healthy diet of seafood, vegetables, fruit, whole-wheat pasta and brown rice. I'm happiest when I am eating. -- VICTOR E. SASSON

Not a bad read
ReplyDeleteI agree. When I was there in the late 1970s, I saw the beginning of the process of tearing down parts of the old city, to make way for apartment buildings. I'm glad the work was eventually halted. I have a lot of black-and-white photos of streets, arches and doorways.
