Off the Beaten Path...

Food is important. Now, I do realize this is mostly political stuff, but it shows the importance of a good meal. Not only that, but the following articles raise interesting and thought provoking questions. Questions that I have been mulling over recently.

First, what the hell does organic mean anymore? You aren't on the farm. And how the hell did seemingly endless amounts of organic food producers enter the market in the last few years. Given that it takes years to receive government certification that your farm is organic. Is it really better to eat organic food flown from Chile or China than just to buy food from a local, non-organic farmer? Can we all agree global warming, food production, and energy policy (and the inter-relation amongst the 3) is an issue we are not yet ready to make decisions on?

Secondly, are you willing to give up drive-thrus?

Finally, I understand people believe Obama is a messiah, but I am positive Jesus didn't charge this much for some bread and fish.
