Cool Stuff to Follow -- Updated

There are far too many blogs and sites posting all sorts of information online about food and about global news - culinary, political, environmental, etc.   I think that all of these categories are inexorably and intimately linked.   The problem is the overwhelming amount of information available.   How does one sort through it all and find the time to follow anything with depth?  I am still working on this problem myself.  I'll let you know when I come up with a solution.   In the meantime, I will continue to update my list of sites which feel contain something worth checking out.
Today I am adding two: Modern Farmer and Global Post.
