Saturday Stories: Photoshop, Soda Bans and Darwin

Kristin Wartman on Civil Eats with a piece on soda and freedom that observes, "When Beyoncé tells us what to drink we listen; when Bloomberg does, there’s outrage."

An oldie but a goodie - Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins' open letter to Prince Charles in which he dances with Darwin. My favourite line of the piece has to be this one, "It may sound paradoxical, but if we want to sustain the planet into the future, the first thing we must do is stop taking advice from nature. Nature is a short-term Darwinian profiteer."
