Trouble in Eden and Eagan
Do you recall the Baghdad Blogger? If I remember correctly, he became a correspondent for the London Times. Anyway, it doesn’t look like things are good in Baghdad.
More locally, Hopefully all of you remember the article linked a few days ago regarding the amount of oil used to produce our food. Some of you may think that changing how you get your food or where your food comes from might be a wise thing to do.
Some of you may think that organic farms may be a healthy and more environmentally stable resource for good food.
If
so, you may be concerned about the oil pipeline to be routed through
four Minnesota organic farms including one of the major sources for
Minneapolis coops – the Gardens of Eagan.Read all about it at the Twin Cities Daily Planet. (It is also a great read regarding organic farming practices. If you’ve got interest in doing it yourself, give it a read!)
And,
a bit of entertainment. Occasionally, those of us who are attracted to
the idea of trying to eat and live right can become a bit obsessed by
it. A bit fundamentalist, even. For those of you who share the trait
(or are friends/lovers of someone who shares the trait), you may enjoy
reading “Confessions of a food fundie”.Incidentally, if you wish to support protecting the organic farms, the bottom of the article regarding the pipeline has some information on how to do so. As the article says, NOW is the time to voice your opinion.
