I saw Food, Inc on Sunday.

it is a compelling documantary about what's wrong with our (food) system.

If you have read Michael Pollen's book(s) a lot of it is NOT news, but his interviews combined with what the industry has done to the small organic farmer plus what Monsanto has done to bully folks plusthe corn subsidies and consequent cheap corn having such far flung effects as putting all the Mexican corn farmers out of business, it is enough to put you off all grocery stories.

I stopped by Thundering Hooves and bought a pound of their $5 hamburger -- I can't afford anything else they sell -- just as a gesture of support.

Oh, and yes, I finally got back to my workouts this morning.
