Interesting DVD indeed! I need to check that out. Michael Pollan touched upon the subject in his book "The Botany of Desire" and i worry that the movie will disturb me even more.

Extremely scary for the small farmer and anyone interested in a sustainable society. Thanks for the recommendation.

I never that I would knit socks. I made my first pair last year and feel in love. I made my first pair of Jaywalkers this year but plain stockinette is my favorite. They feel wonderful on the feet.
