Ireland's Hill of Tara, an "endangered cultural site"

I wrote this short feature as part of a magazine package about "endangered cultural sites," and I think it's by far the most-read, most-commented-on thing I've ever written...not that I'm too surprised, as there's clearly a lot of passion surrounding the issue.

Most of my writing these days is about food and drink from a Smithsonian perspective (science, history, anthropology, etc.)... it's called "Food And Think" and you'll find it on the upper right of the Smithsonian.com homepage, or by clicking here:

I'm psyched to have help from a friend and former colleague with this endeavor---Lisa Bramen was a fellow features reporter with me at The Post-Star, and won awards there for her writing about food and other subjects... and now she's my FAT co-blogger! (er, only acronymically speaking, of course.)
