Finally watched it. Yikes!

Good to see they touched on Monsanto, the true evil empire.

Excellent movie, NB. Touched on pretty much all facets of the social food
issues. I watched it one Friday evening after dinner, and went to a Wedding
in DC on Saturday evening. Was seated next to a couple in their mid-sixties
who introduced themselves as the 'food scientist' couple. It didn't take
long for the conversation to get pretty heated. :-)

Another good movie in the same vain is 'King Corn'. An instant watch on
Netflix.

Cool, Zeppo. Thanx.

I finally got a streaming Netflix thing going and that's where I saw
Food Inc. I'll give King Corn a look. For an even deeper look at how
really evil Monsanto is, watch the in-depth French documentary, The
World According to Monsanto. Monsanto truly is out to own the World's
food supply. Scary stuff. It's not on Netflix, but can be easily
found elsewhere on the web. Fortunately, we'll all be dead --they
themselves speeding our demise-- before they can conclude their
treacherous scheme.

nb

"Food Inc" is a fascinating and terrifying documentary everybody needs to watch. I remember the unveiling of Monsanto long ago in Anaheim's Disneland. They did it with so much glitz and lack of sincerity even I felt something was off, and I was just a kid.

On Saturday, to celebrate Earth Day, our church had a plant sale of
heirloom vegetables (there was some talk about Monsanto), so we will see
how the vegetables turn out. Something new to me, was Red Malabar
Spinach, it is a perennial climber so we can grow it on a fence.

Sounds good, Becca. When our seasonal nursery reopens --any day now--
I plan to inquire about setting up a small hothouse garden. I want
some real freakin' tomatoes, not those tasteless orbs sold in mrkts.
I also want to check out the prices on grass fed beef, around here.
The valley I live in is primarily beef cattle country, even if it is
8000 ft.

You will have to let us know how your tomatoes turn out. The vegetables
we grow sure seem to taste a lot better.

It's on PBS here tomorrow night. I made a note and taped it up here
so I remember to watch it.

I think I'd rather be in the dark, so to speak.

No problem. I'm looking forward to it. I worked on stuff late last
night to make sure I was free tonight.
