Another....


picture of me....
and another book.... (didn't know what kind of pic to include for the book?)
it is rocking my world a bit and in a sad disgusted way. just like "a diet for a new america" did years ago (1993 to be exact and it turned em vegan) except instead of making me feel bad for the animals, this time i feel bad for us. how in the hell have we let ourselves as a nation become the unhealthy puppets of the industrial food business, eating on the average 300 extra calories or "corn" per day. " An Omnivore's Delimma" by Micheal Pollan. is an eye-opener to how we have become "corn people" and that most of the food eat has consumed more calories of petroleum in its making than it give us to eat (organic salad a that yeilds 80 calories tkes 4600 calories to grow) so much for becoming an organic freak too... local is the way to go, and if i can find a place with a good local, organic market, im moving;)

a lot like solient greens yes....
we eat tons of what the industry calls No.2 corn, not edible by itself but after being broken down into other products, mostly sugars, is processed into everything. we use to be mostly wheat people but today, children of the corn...
