How could I have been so naive as to imagine that corporate rent-a-reptiles would not be busy already? It is the nature of every ideology that all contradictory evidence has to be stamped out by any and every means and everybody must conform to the ideology in every tiniest aspect of their life. And speaking of corporate rent-a-reptiles, check out George Monbiot on corporate fake science which also serendipitously mentions corporate attacks on organic food and other corporate attempts to derail reality.

Problem was that the control toothbrushes in other rooms were equally contaminated because we live in a world of aerosol shit, we are breathing it every moment, test any surface and you’ll find it.

The thing is, it’s good for you to some extent, that’s why kids who grow up on farms have less asthma than kids brought up in sterile apartments. Depite the fact that Omo packets now say “dirt is good” it would still be interesting to see how corporations could manage to sell mothers on the idea of spraying powdered cow manure around their infant.

Extreme-capital currently controls most food production in the developed countries at least and the last thing it would like to see is an increase in home grown food. If home grown suddenly became a major movement you can guarantee there would also suddenly be endless media beat-ups purporting to expose how home grown food is bad for you. And if you think that sounds far fetched check out this story in the Guardian showing how brainwashed (and just plain dumb) some people are.

while i like a bit of sport the quote with regards to the labour issue elequently illustrates that the issue of how we allocate energy (in this case physical exertion) cuts across all spheres of life. (if you add the distances travelled across the vast expanses of surburbia by sport playing individuals its energy equation looks even worse). so yeah i would agree with a call to dedicate that energy into gardening, particularly if, like me, you have a landlord who doesn’t mind if you dig up the lawn.
