I dont know if the Pope goes for this. No, check that, the Pope wont go for this. Or the religious right. And I can see some problems, especially with #2. But it is interesting. I'll give you that.
Pgardn,
Yesterday over 300 dairy farmers went to Albany to voice their concerns about the current state of farming in NY. Things have never been as desperate for the local farmers and their families.
Regarding your second comment, all I can say is that I can't wait for spring to put in a potato crop. I'll be digging in the garage to find my Mr Potato Head kit, just so I can make one that looks like Potato Benedict.
Lucky for us all that he didn't breed.
