The notion that processed food is cheap and integrity foods are prohibitively expensive is simply not true.

That many if not most people...who want fresh leafy greens in January buy them at the supermarket after they've been bleached and plastic-bag shipped from California or beyond is not a tribute to modern technology; it's an unprecedented abdication of personal responsibility and a ubiquitous benchmark of abnormality.

How dare you treat your soil like dirt!

We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders.

I saw a news report recently that measured average video game use by American men between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five: twenty hours per week.

Can't we unplug already?

Remember, machines don't forgive.
