"Organic & non gmo is a fad. Once people are hungry, there is only one problem in the world. We in the USA and other countries are so spoiled we get to argue over such issues as this, as if there is any merit to it." Fascinating commentary from a true believer.

As a 75 year old farmer and the son of an organic farmer who died at 98 a couple of years ago... I resent the implication that organic farming and sustainability is but a passing fad. I also resent the implication that I'm not educated... formally and informally.. well past the bare minimum of 12 years.

The unfortunate pack rat mentality seems to apply to those who just belong to and follow the madding crowd.. believing what they are fed by Monsanto et al.. ..never being curious enough to see what's over the horizon. Man believes what he wants to believe and just ignores the rest...somehow we revel in our ignorance.. and wear it as a badge of courage.. of sorts.

We seem to have a pack rat mentality cloistering ourselves in conclaves of the like minded. However, "the cold passion for truth hunts in no pack". - Robinson Jeffers

I'd gladly engage in a dialogue with whomever on GMO/glyphosate impact on our environment and the havoc it is causing regarding animal health. Animals are sick, humans are sick... but we spend lots of money on creating the next great "elixir" .. a new pill. Instead of looking at the root cause of our collective illness...

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
