I absolutely know that organic food also contains glyphosate and that I'm not eliminating my exposure. My family has chosen to reduce our exposure this way, since to whatever extent the organic certification works, this practice is pro

I've reviewed grain-industry literature discussing this issue as a matter-of-fact consideration (in materials that were primarily on other topics). I've read accounts from grain farmers themselves. It's not made up.

A lot of people don't know that RoundUp is sprayed on many (perhaps most) grains shortly before harvest. It desiccates the grain crop, keeping the combine from getting gummed up and increasing yields. When I learned this, I decided eno

I've heard people describe Facebook as basically just filling out a bunch of forms. I take him to mean that we are reducing the rich contours of human experience and interaction to just filling out forms and tapping buttons on a screen

There's a huge problem with honey labeling—often the packaged product labeled as honey is indeed mostly a cheaper sweetener.

Most styles render this as Bernie Sanders’s. In some circles this rendering (Bernie Sanders’) is correct. Reasonable people disagree: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/possessive-of-proper-names-e... but those are the only tw

This is an issue of boundaries on the receiver's side. Other people's unreasonable expectations are not binding on us. Otherwise we quickly become enslaved to everyone else's whims, which is no way to live and certainly no wa

I recommend the book _Refuse to Choose_ by Barbara Scher. It is about how to use that Edison-like tendency of yours as an asset rather than having to stuff it all the time.

Having interacted with them many times, I'd like to add that these folks are some serious soil hackers. Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens are first-rate farmers and their grains are truly exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, and sharing.

Look at page speed vs. bounce rate in Google Analytics for any well-trafficked site. People are frequently casually clicking around, and the faster you have content up on the screen the more casual users will engage. By analogy, to get into
