    Good post on organic food. It comes as no surprise.

  2. Ken says:

    Interesting post on the Swedish robot. This is probably the beginning of the end. Clearly, humans are not the highest life form.

  3. Neil H. says:

    I agree with Ken. Just look at Congress. No way we are the highest life form.

  4. Benjamin Surmi says:

    Very poor post on organic foods.

    Again, a loose certification system labeling items as organic is inefficient. The results will be sketchy.

    It does not take scientists to understand the common sense behind deeply enriching the soil and using far less pesticides and herbicides. Not all organic growers do this.
