Skeptical about skeptics

So the question of the day is why do people feel so threatened about climate change and the admission that 6.7 billion consumers might be affecting this planet?

Butcherin'

So what did you think about Wednesday's workshop on butchering? Was that environmental education?

Slippin' on a Banana Peel...

The two readings about the food we consume, primarily the one about Dole bananas, made me think more about where my food comes from. Sure the package might say that the company is stationed somewhere "local" in the United States, but many, if not most, of the major companies have their fingers intwined in manufacturing in other countries. Not only do they dominate the production aspect, but other companies as well, including fossil fuels, plastics, etc. Because the banana article was mainly bashing Dole, I decided to do a Google search on Dole. I found an interesting website that, by the looks of it, Dole is attempting to save their face and attempt to become more organic. What do you think? Check out this link: http://www.doleorganic.com/

And what's up with this youtube video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOXVn5_OKFw

I'm almost to the point where I care more about WHERE my food is made and what is in it than the calories, fat, etc. it contains. It is unfortunate that companies feel the need to only tell us on the packages what most people want to see instead of what they should see.
