Quick Dick McDick on Protester Diets

Chuck Zimmerman

This is just too good not to share. I know y’all have a good sense of humor and are not offended easily, right? After watching Quick Dick McDick I’m pretty sure he doesn’t care. However, this is a very interesting look at how margarine is made and gets to the store. Soooo… It’s funny and educational. I think I can …

Huge Disservice to the Organic Industry

Chuck Zimmerman

I like to use images and especially video to help tell a story. In this case, however, there is just no need to do so. The folks at the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance brought to my attention the rather disgusting work of the Clif Bar Family Foundation demonstrated by their Seed Matters initiative that features a profanity spewing animated …

But it is nice to see the on-line ag community biting back. Corn Commentary bloggess Cathryn Wojcicki has done a couple of posts about how …

Anti-GMO Activist on Display

Chuck Zimmerman

Here’s an interesting video clip of Michael Pollan doing an interview. For those of you who don’t know of him, he’s a very anti-GMO activist who claims to be a journalist. This clip pretty well negates the journalist part when he brags about writing for the New York Times, “But when I wrote about food I never had to give …
