"The neat thing about industrialization is that it enables us to afford the luxury of being picky about where our food comes from."

Only if it's available. That's not what I'm talking about here. If we have an economic crash, our lives are going to be turned upside down. If suppliers bust their butts getting food to us, it's not going to be Twinkies, HoHos, $6 frozen TV dinners and goumet means for one.

And why some people think that organic produces less than chemical farming apparently haven't been paying attention to the real world.


Old Grey Man: send me some seeds for that spaghetti tree. The ones I've been using apparently only germinate in the Mediterranean climate. Please send the ones in the O shape -- they take up less soil space than the ones that come in the ______________________________________________________ shape.
Thanks!
