Sorry, but very few of us can afford to get our food from family-run organic farms that are within walking distance. <br /><br />Using McDonald's as an example of "industrial nutrition" is a typical exercise in card stacking.<br /><br />Since a large part of my diet is made up of fish and mollusks that I hunt and gather myself, I suppose I'm ahead of the game.<br /><br />When something occurs to you before it occurs to me, you may say a prayer over me and shovel dirt in my face.Joseph Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161129577000322246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197282005094180032.post-23397238483796425312007-01-30T10:48:00.000-05:002007-01-30T10:48:00.000-05:00corn is dirt cheap in this country. before you say...corn is dirt cheap in this country. before you say another thing about corn, read michael pollan's book, the omnivores dilemma.<br /><br />there are as many people in the world "starving to death" as there are overweight people! look up the latest stats, mr. martini!<br /><br />there is plenty of food to go around, just not the best of political climates in places where it is needed most.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197282005094180032.post-32239080516841441612007-01-30T10:05:00.000-05:002007-01-30T10:05:00.000-05:00Interesting.

Boys and girls from Oceanside and elsewhere are dying in Iraq to ensure we get our oil. 19 Saudi men with boxcutters could bring the US to its knees because of our dependence on Mideast oil. Our reliance on the region may bring us to the brink of world war III. So the problem is more than tortillas and corn chips. Market forces don't factor in the cost of nuclear annihilation. All or none thinking regarding the "wisdom" of the markets is silly and long ago discredited.R. Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799314676379954682noreply@blogger.com
