Here’s some food for thought for today…
- Seeing through the PR hype – are bloggers impressed by “brand ambassadors” ? They shouldn’t be.
- Out on the farm, tractors are a bit like crack.
- Speaking of hard drugs – turns out that our brains react to junk food the same way they react to heroin. Well, unless you’re this guy, who has pretty much lived on candy his entire life.
- Buddha’s hand - coolest fruit ever!
- They’re only lentils, they won’t hurt you – some easy steps and advice on giving up meat. (Y’all don’t need me to list the reasons why, do you?)
- But first, we have to eat up all these pigs so the factory-based farmers with 80 gazillion thousand hogs each don’t go bankrupt because of swine flu and low pork prices. Well, more likely school kids and poor people will end up with the excess pork because they don’t know enough about agricultural subsidies to argue the point.
- And speaking of pork (I’m just full of the segues these days), how about bacon fat candles?
- Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub – saying grace in a secular world.


I love those Buddha hand lemons!
I almost bought one of the trees from Humber Nursery earlier this year without even knowing what it was, but it turned out to be a bit too costly.
They sure are pretty, though.
