I know it’s a bit early to start thinking about winter, but now is the time to take advantage of all of the abundant local produce available in the summer months.

Catfish Farms Dry Up
I might be vegetarian/semi-vegan now, but once upon a time I really enjoyed catfish. It was usually caught from my parents’ lake, or likely farm-raised if we ate at a restaurant.

Or maybe they just don’t want to be “at fault” for making people cut back and slinging us into a depression, which would be worse. Or would it? Consider an article on CNN.com... Read more...

I say might, because historically, even though States want to label or ban something that the FDA or EPA has approved, it very rarely actually happens. In today’s case, I’m talking about cloned food. The FDA is not going to require labeling of animal or animal by-products that are cloned or... Read more...
