Finally got around to watching Food, Inc. Wow. One of the most disturbing and powerful documentaries I've ever seen. I might have sobbed like a baby. It was really embarrassing. But it actually made me get out of my seat and do research. Like, I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. It was insane. I haven't felt this passion since the 2004 election, sadly. And who did this? Joel Salatin. The Virginia farmer who is living the life I want. Not only is he brilliant and witty and strong and passionate...he's a freakin' amazing farmer who lets his pigs play in the mood. Delight in their "pigness." In fact, the passion carried over into the next day. I learned about this farm and other's apprenticeships. And I made a phone call. A PHONE CALL. Do you know how hard it is for me to make a phone call these days? I only email because I'm so afraid of confrontation and looking stupid and asking questions. Especially when I really care about it. But I did. And that's all I'm going to say for now.
