For the past few weeks news sources have talked about the dangerous influence alternative fuels have on our cost of food.

There was an interesting piece in the Fashion section of the NYTimes this Sunday that is a little weird but it gets into some pretty fun stuff. The piece follows a kid from Brooklyn who is hell bent on becoming an organic farmer. Trucker hats, Carhartts, and Pabst were the fashion but now some are putting the heart behind the fashion and finding the funk in farming.

For years now I haven't cared about the debate over whether "global warming" is happening or whether it is "human induced."  I think it is a moot question that we keep arguing about instead of doing anything useful about our profligate habits.
