Informative as always – Thanks!

That dipshit part in the BSE post–well, that is genuine, and it is toned down. I don’t have a very high opinion of whoever it was who came up with the brilliant idea of making herbavores carnivores, and not only carnivores, but cannibals. Why someone couldn’t have forseen that such an action would have the potential to rack up serious consequences, I don’t know.

But I can feel my Grandpa wanting to rise from his grave and give someone a good clout about the ears over it every time I read about BSE.

I blog about small farms, and it’s clear to me that loving them as I do, I am voting with my dollars. I go to as many farmers markets a week as I can.

This is a subject near and dear to my heart, and I very much appreciate seeing that it matters to other people, as well. I could throttle that simpleton, Julie Powell. It’s abundantly clear to me that she has no taste. How ironic is that? Heh.

Yeah, well. I’ve said a lot about Powell’s illogical and incorrect assertions, and made a few cracks about her character on the side, so I won’t go any farther except to say that I was disappointed in the piece. It -could- have been a well-written bit of rant, but it wasn’t. And I think that is a shame to show that much ignorance in a high profile publication like the NY Times.

Yes, the Grist piece was great–I will be following their stuff from now on, and when I find good nuggets that will be of interest to my readers, I will pass them along.

I saw your blog–it is great! I am going to link to it, definately. It looks like we share a lot of interests.
