>> Simple energy bars made locally. LAist gives GoBars — made at eco-restaurant Tender Greens with some organic ingredients — a taste test. “Tropical Fruit was a homerun hit–not too sweet, balanced flavors between the base and the addition of the dried fruit and coconut; this was the one that we decided we’d grab on the go, for sure.” Earlier: My new favorite simple organic snack bar.

>> Downtown Green Drinks looks like it’ll have to move soon, because Pharmaka Gallery, which usually hosts the monthly event, will be forced to relocate by September.

>> Memo to raw-milk advocates: Improve information, or get sued. This thoughtful post at Ethicurean points out, basically, that “consumers should have access to raw milk but that they should also be accurately informed of its risks” while reporting on the raw milk symposium in Seattle earlier this month. Turns out the raw milk advocates’ website’s full of misinformation and misleading data. As Umbra at Grist‘s pointed out, raw milk advocates sometimes elide the dangers of raw milk while overplaying its benefits. A recommended read for all who’ve been raw-curious.
