Please read this. It’s important to our future. Really. I’m not joking.

Oh, and don’t get scared away by the fact it is many pages long. Just sit down and dedicate some time to it.

The Food Issue – An Open Letter to the Next Farmer in Chief – Michael Pollan – NYTimes.com

P.S. Yes, it was published almost 10 days ago and I’m slow in getting it posted. What can I say? I’ve been busy.

This is a great article on the global climate crisis.  It talks about “food miles”and how poor of a indicator it really is when trying to discern carbon impact.  It’s a bit long, but stick with it; the article is definitely worth the read.
