Interesting post. You might like to read Barbara Kingsolvers book Animal, Vegetal, Miracle. I'm almost finished and it has changed my life and every way I think about the food I eat.
See you tomorrow!

I, myself am slowly improving my eating habits. Organic, organic. free range eggs and hormone free beef and pork. But, monsanto is almost in my backyard AND it is the devil. What gets me, is seemingly smart "normal" people that i personally know, are listening and believing the likes of rush and love sarah palin.
The internet is a wonderful thing , you and i can communicate. It also is changing politics. I just hope people are smart enough to weed out the crap.

(Oh, and I kinda like Beck, too)
But, the one thing you didn't consider is that most new gardeners of this, shall we say, ilk, don't even understand the difference between an heirloom and a hybrid seed. Honestly, I'm betting the sellers don't either, or were counting on you not – or simply don't care and want to make that quick buck. 'Cause, ya know, that house built of greenbacks will protect you from anything…
