musings on nourishment
Vision + Example = Guidance
Dear Bev, if I were writing a romance, and I’m not saying I’m not; would a UC Berkeley vegan art student, farming organic herbs to chelate the toxins from his body after becoming poisoned by his art supplies, who then learns the hard way that compost is the most critical element to soil regeneration on farm land, and then ultimately takes responsibility to husband and harvest the farm animals providing manure as they roam the pastures with careful handling and respect be believable?
Dear Joel, you introduced me to sustainable agriculture, inputs & outputs, practical asset allocation and the benefits of positive reciprocal relationships in matters of physics... It’s hard to express exactly how I feel about that, but “giddy” and “inspired” are in there, with a sort of humming vibe; please, please, please let me volunteer for the next Polyface farm day tour and BBQ. I ♥ when I remember that succulent charcoal grilled chicken….
Dear Adele, your vision to improve the lives of animals in food production is a no-brainer: What part of “Humane Farm Animal Care is the only ISO Guide 65 Approved Certifying Body for Animals in Food Production” is confusing?
Is it that ISO stands for “International Organization for Standardization” which is almost French, but is in fact English for INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION for STANDARDIZATION?
Is the certification seal too confusing to customers?
Is it difficult to figure out who ultimately benefits? The following list may be helpful:
1. Farmers who get lumped in with inhumane agricultural practices unfairly
2. Farmers who don’t want to continue inhumane agricultural practices and need direction
3. Farmers who are profit motivated
4. Farmers who care
5. Consumers
If you don’t see yourself on this list you may want to avoid farming and/or eating.
