		<description><![CDATA[I have just had it with the mainstream &#8220;organic&#8221; and &#8220;natural&#8221; movement.  What started as a grass-roots effort for people to live healthier lives while rejecting the constant pollution of our soil, air and water with chemicals and monster seeds has now, obviously, turned into nothing but a hypocrital money maker.  I will henceforth be boycotting Whole Foods, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thermometer in the greenhouse reads &#8220;The devil called; he wants his furnace back.&#8221; Just looking out the window at what needs to be harvested makes you sweat. 15 minutes outside requires 25 minutes inside and 2 liters of water. You hallucinate that each vegetable you pull off the plants is yelling, &#8220;Pick me! Pick me!&#8221; [...]]]></description>
