been caning the old goo-tube in a weekend-long orgy of regenerative agriculture videos. feel stuffed like a foie-gras goose. who wants to eat my liver?
We Are What We Eat is just inspiringly depressing. An onslaught of bad news. Especially how they wimp out and leave responsibility at the feet of consumers, us as consuming beings. And the guy at the end who says “we’ve got to work out how to sustain civilizations.” Jeez.
A Farm For A Future is more like it! Good old chin-up British take on the agricultural world of doom. If you look hard when Rebecca is talking to that Heinberg chap over the interweb you can see her awesome bookshelf in the background including Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets and Derrick Jensen’s Endgame. Both volumes!
Joel Salatin is the front person of this band. He’s the lead vocalist and rightfully so. He talks about the slightly unbelievably amazing world of strip-grazing and the wondrous symbiosis of grass and herbivore. “It’s paradigms!” I especially like his rant in parts 2 and 3 of the “pigaerator” series. What a guy.
