and I don't feel like just canceling it and copying everything into word, so I guess I have to start using it again.
Most of my attention has been on environmental issues lately, so I'll share my thoughts and progress in little bits, as much to keep track of my intentions and education as to share. I really dislike preaching. So...
environmental/social goal of the day
With the growing population, the ability to feed the world is becoming more and more challenging. Using corn as a biofuel was widely revealed as a really crappy idea when the cost of food skyrocketed in the last few years. Genetically modified food may become necessary, but I'd like to fight that as much as possible.
Much of the corn we produce is inedible in an unprocessed form. It's created for things like corn syrup and cornstarch. Corn syrup scares me a little anyway (acid?!), and I certainly don't need the blood sugar spikes, so I'm going back to my earlier avoidance of all things cornstarch-sweetened. That land would be better used to produce edible, healthier corn, or, better yet, healthier food in general.
Beginning as soon as I finish off these last few twix I stole from Wendy's party.
