The Fam

This is a bit off-subject, since it’s not directly about the boy, but I figured it’s a good forum. The Mom and I have been trying lately to make more conscious decisions about what we buy - especially what we eat. We have been doing our best to buy organic when we can, and are avoiding companies that own or operate factory farms.

There are some really good resources available to get more information about these topics. These are some of my favorites:

• Store Wars - A look into organic foods, and the dangers that are increasingly appearing in store bought products.
• The Meatrix - Talks about factory farms, and their impact on our environment and economy.
• Farm Aid - The original. More “serious” than the previous two links, and a great wealth of information. I wear my “Stop Factory Farms” shirt with pride.
• Bad Corporation - Want to know who owns a company? Want to know all of the products a company makes? Want to know all of the things a company does that will make you not want to patronize them anymore? This is the place. Take a look at the dirt on an innocent-sounding company like Sara Lee.

Okay. Off my soapbox. Back to the regular programming.
