Remember back in October when I posted about the independent movie, King Corn? The movie wasn't in wide release when we first mentioned it, and so a number of you expressed interest in seeing it, but weren't able to find a screening anywhere. It's gotten wider distribution over the last six months, but for those of you who haven't been able to find the time or place to see it, I've got partially good news for you. A twenty minute clip of the film is now available on AOL video site, which means that I can embed that chunk of the movie here, for your viewing pleasure.

The difference in packaged foods between the US and the UK was astonishing, due entirely to the presence or absence of HFCS (and its shy sibling maltodextrin). The same size, flavor, and brand of yogurt pot is 280 calories here and 130 in the UK. That stuff is eeeeevil.

Thank goodness my corn on the cob is OK. My wife has been gobbling it up since she learned it contained folic acid, and plans to add to the family are imminent.

The mystery missing bees and now the eminent demise of the bat population of the NE should raise huge questions, when we loose these major pollinators and insect controllers, we will be even more out of balance than we already are.
