Things you already know, or oughta.

  • Contessa reports on bottle houses in Mexico.  Very cool.  Better than throwing your bottles under a tree.
  • Humanure vermicomposting.  You got poop on my worms!  You got worms in my poop! ... Hey!  It's the Reese's peanut butter cup of doo-doo.   I admire the pioneers and their experiments, so I'm keeping my eye on this.
  • Sherry and David, with their decades of medical research experience, give The China Study four thumbs up.  With my little bits of knowledge about how epidemiology ought to work, I have to agree that this study is the real deal.
The China Study 
  • If you don't want to invest time reading on my say-so, try watching Forks Over Knives on HuluNetflix, or Amazon.  A much more modest 1:36 investment.  Then you'll get the book anyway.  
  • Roadrunners* do not say "meepmeep."  They say "phbrrrrrrptt!" I can say this authoritatively because I just watched one "phbrrrrrrptt!" past my window.

*Having read this page, I can't decide if I'll call them "chaparral cocks" or "ground cuckoos."  What would you call them?  Cuckoo cocks?
