Rambling on and on and on about farming, food and astronomy. Astronomy? Yep. Farming and astronomy go together like garlic and basil, tomatoes and peppers, ice cream and bacon.

I wonder….

Now that Thanksgiving is over and the annual insanity called Black Friday is well under way, questions have been popping up as I sit here reading the morning news and going through the Tumblr blogs I follow.

How many people, I wonder, had a turkey that was not injected with brine, broth (basically chicken flavored salt water), fed a diet that contained low levels of antibiotics all its life, ate a normal diet..

How many people had pie crust that wasn’t made with heavily processed, hydgrogenated oils laced with artificial flavors

Why do we allow greed to intrude upon our traditional holidays and other traditions and destroy our holidays so that retailers can attempt to squeeze a few more cents in profit out of us?
