Pickup Truck and Urban Farming = You?
A couple of years ago, I had the great pleasure of turning loose StrausCom’s PR forces to support Aaron, Curt and Ian – the co-producers and stars of King Corn (and if you haven’t seen it, do … fantastic, insightful film) … subsequently, Curt and Ian (totally rockin’ guys) have been working on a number … Continue reading
Is TIME on my side?
I was laughing at myself (pretty hard) yesterday … sandwiched in between a long overnight bus ride, randomly meeting the region’s organic pioneer, prepping to dive into (and hopefully equally able to extricate myself from) a spiritual movement/cult, and realizing that I’m a descendant of the guys who were the leaders of the Mumbai’s and … Continue reading

Organic leaders in circular firing squad – again
In early 2010, this blog’s debut entry documented the well-intentioned but misguided (okay … actually, ridiculous and offensive) efforts by the Cornucopia Institute to bash organic pioneers who were opposing a Cornucopia-supported policy. And now, again, the Organic Consumers Association – another important organic activist group – is blaming the organic industry for the USDA’s approval … Continue reading
Soviet Russia, U.S. Government and Our Food
Remember how Gorbachev had this huge birthmark on his forehead? I remember visiting Soviet Russia during that era (1989) and seeing government propaganda posters in which the birthmark had simply been erased. Long before Photoshop, the Soviets had a long history of literally erasing people from history, one picture at a time. I remember thinking … Continue reading
The Birds and …. what?? no bees??
Ever notice how many agricultural metaphors are used in daily conversation? Cream of the crop. The grass is always greener. That’s a bunch of bullshit.
