I suggest all you non-organic-food folk 1) see Food Inc. (don’t expect to eat dinner after;) 2) read Omnivore’s Dilemma. The former may be polemic but hard-hitting, the latter is controlled and persuasive.
Anyone who can afford organic but does not buy it is being either perverse or has a capacity for extreme denial.
1-Factory farmed food is unbelievably cruel and inhumane. Imagine never being able to sit, to turn, to be standing in your own feces, to be shot full of antibiotics and hormones in your brief horrible life. And we eat this s**t.
2-Factory farmed food is fattier. Full of hormones. Full of antibiotics. None of which is good for you.
3-Industrial farming puts small farmers out of business…ok you can claim the free market is at play.
4-The patenting of life (seeds, etc) results in more farmers being in thrall to agri-business. They can’t even replant last year’s crop. And this is spreading to countries iike India; the bio-diversity of the locals is being raped for profit.
I don’t expect to change any minds (my own friends are closed-minded on this issue, I’ve given up; thankfully my son is organic-aware) but at least be aware.
lets splice the mainbrace then
“where are all the non-gents supposed to live anyway?”
In Borough Park and other predominantly Jewish neighborhoods where my people congregate!

No worries, ENY. I’ll even save a seat for you on Snarky’s Big Gay Ark since I like the cut of your jib.
Wish I had had the time to read this before now.

> What’s this?! Snarky went out with PLUSAs?!
That’s what the PLUSAs think. I sent a proxy. Shhhhh… Keep it under your hat, cobbles.
Itchy trigger finger, ditto. And coffee sounds like a lovely idea.
