Today's post will be a short one. I hadn't planned to post today at all, but after reading today's edition of Grist, I just had to.
There is an excellent article in Grist today named Slow Food Fight about the elitism which has overtaken the sustainable food movement as I mentioned previously. The article discusses a confrontation between farmers and the founder of the Slow Food trend, Carlo Petrini. I would encourage everyone who is concerned about the direction and philosophy of sustainable food to read it.
I also want to take a few lines to plug one of my new pet causes, Cows Unite. The site is dedicated to the goal of organic, humane milk production. You can read a very entertaining history of the movement here, or download the bovine bill of rights here. Please check it out and sign up as part of the network (for you non-joiners, at least check it out).
Lastly, a report on the tomatoes. I sprayed organic fungicide/insecticide/miticide on them (mostly neem oil and some inert ingredients) and it really seems to be helping. The leaves are uncurling and there are no new brown spots.
That's all for now. I've got to run, or maybe mosey would be more appropriate given the title of the post.
