Going Crunchy
A friend of mine who has gone entirely organic (and started making all her own dairy products from raw milk that she gets from a local commune), inspired me to read "In Defense of Food." I skipped most of the first 2/3 (a history of the food production industry, mostly), and then only skimmed the last third (laughing at a fair amount of elitism ( Read more... ) -

I have many more interesting and important things to write about (such as the RODEO!) and I need to go to bed (as it's nearly 1am and I have to teach tomorrow morning) - but I wanted to make a quick post to say that I finally got to dig out a bunch of skirts and pairs of pants that I can now wear once again! Hurray! It turns out that not eating ( Read more... ) -
