Martin’s photo reminded me of two very unrelated things. The first is an excellent program I heard on the radio last night on Interlochen Public Radio’s Points North featuring Ricardo Salvador of the WK Kellogg Foundation talking about “good food”. The Michigan-based WK Kellogg Foundation has an initiative that hopes to change things so that 10% of the nation’s food supply is healthy to eat, improves environmental quality, is fair to the producers and is affordable to purchase.

The 2nd half of the program introduced a new farm land trust program called A Spirit of Place that is getting going on the Leelanau Peninsula. The program would try to keep farm prices low and keep lands in farming.

Since it’s Saturday, I can probably pass the second link along as a Saturday morning cartoon. Cows with Guns is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on these internets. I hope you enjoy it (rated PG for brief, mild language and cartoon violence).
