"Why won’t the powers-that-be take agriculture seriously? | The Campaign for Real Farming"

PESOS from Reading.am.

I could extract quote after quote from Colin Tudge's latest essay on agriculture, at http://www.campaignforrealfarming.org/2018/10/why-wont-the-powers-that-be-take-agriculture-seriously... but it would undermine the whole, just as a steak undermines a whole cow or an organic loaf of bread undermines the fertility-building beans needed to produce it. Just go read.

Another reason to love RSS (or feeds in general). Actually, the same reason. After about four years of inactivity, a site I like springs back to life and I don't need to do anything to find out. http://www.wildyeastblog.com/

Didn’t Jesus say “no guacamole for immigrant haters”? I don't think he did, but maybe he should have.

It's about time. That thing I promised a few days back, about time and the business of baking bread, is now published. My basic argument is that cheap bread devalues good bread and good bakers. "If a loaf of pap is available for pennies, how are we to justify an adequate reward for the baker who needs time and space to produce a different kind of loaf? It is the existence of cheap bread that makes a desire for something better into an elitist, privileged foodie pursuit." http://ow.ly/q5DH30lLVr2
