Wake Up, People: Mushroom Egg Bake
On Friday, I attended the dinner of the 26th Annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference held by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association. During a time when all I seem to see on TV are celebrities getting married or divorced – all on heavily-sponsored reality shows, of course – I was amazed at the 1,200 people there [...]

Like many of you who support eating and living [...]

Happily Ever Laughter
Unintended consequences are just that – unintended. Sometimes the best intentions lead to adverse results. For example, the U.S. market-oriented agricultural system seems to be a natural result of Keynesian economy…let those who can compete compete and the weak will simply fall by the wayside…or is it a perpetuation of elite dominance? Let’s look at [...]
