It’s been a long time since I have posted a blog full of links to the work of other agriculture and legal bloggers — I have had a very hectic spring. It’s a beautiful day here New York City. Having some quality time with my coffee and catching up on blogs via Google Reader this morning and then taking a long walk/run around …
Book Discussion on “A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy”
Thank you to all of you who participated in the last book discussion on Foer’s “Eating Animals.” The discussion is still up on Google Wave if you just finished the book and want to join the conversation. The next agriculture book discussion will be on Wesley’s J. Smith’s “A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy: The …
Discussion on “Eating Animals” Will Be on Google Wave
I previously noted that the book discussion on Eating Animals will be on Skype on April 28th; however, Skype does not have video conference cababilities for several people (only audio). Therefore, I will continue to host the book discussion on Google Wave. I have recently joined the Skype world – my username is Cari.Rincker. I look forward to experimenting with Skype for video …
Discussion on the Book “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer
The post office finally delivered my copy of Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. I ordered it last week on Amazon so I am now ready to start reading. I have been pushing off reading this book because I knew it would be a “tough read.” However, I believe that it is very important for the agriculture industry to read …
Need an Excuse to Finally Watch Food Inc.?
I admit that I have been proscrastinating myself- afterall, it will just be another movie that will misrepresent modern agriculture. However, as I have said time and time again on this blog I think it is important for those involved in the agriculture to watch movies like Food Inc. and read books by Michael Pollan and Jonathan Foer (just to …
Posting a Discussion Wave on Food Inc.
Last night there was an online discussion of Michael Pollan’s notorious book Omnivore’s Dilemma on google wave. It is my opinion that google wave is better used for a discussion thread over time instead for a real-time conversation in one evening. Therefore, I went ahead and posted a discussion “wave” for the movie Food Inc. I think it would be …

Discussion on Omnivore’s Dilemma Next Wednesday on Google Wave
I have been reading Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma and thought it would be fun to have an online discussion about it. If you haven’t started, you have a week so head to the nearest bookstore! I have been playing with the new google wave application and decided to give it a try next Wednesday night for the online discussion. If …
Recommendations for Ag Book Club?
As noted in this blog, I am starting an Ag Book Club where there will be an online discussion on book criticizing modern agriculture. In around mid-December there will be a discussion on Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma (tentative date and time is Wednesday, December 9th at 8pm ET). (As a reminder, you can join the faceboook group here). I …
Starting Agriculture Book Club
On yesterday’s post, I mentioned the idea of forming a book club in your community to discuss mainstream literature criticizing modern agriculture and discuss the misconceptions in the literature and how the agriculture community should address these misconceptions. For those of you who are interested in this, I am starting an agriculture book club that will read through these books …
