Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Amanda Peck" <ap615@hotmail.com>]

that's less of an issue than people have been thinking.

It's not just "dollars to grow" vs "dollars to buy" at the store.

Transportation--both actual costs and infrastructure "improvements" and 
maintenance need to be factored in as well.

And Michael Pollan makes a point of saying that the big guys are not 
changing their spots--still giant monoculture fields of the same kind of 
potato.  If there are things that can be put on fields and plants the way 
"conventional" whatever-cides can be, they'll do that, it's what they know.  
Nobody has showed them how to do large-scale organic farming.

(hip replacements, weird pains in the arms etc.?  take a look at a book 
called Pain Free by a man named Pete Egoscue.  His exercises work for 
me--when I remember to do them.)
