Well I'm sitting here on a computer at Case Center in Skidmore and I'd like to share with the rest of my family a couple special messages from the Natural Food Co-op that are tacked up on the wall in here.
First:
The EPA estimates pesticides (some cancer causing) contaminate the water in 38 states, polluting the primary source of drinking water for more than half of the country's population. Buy organic!
Second:
Organic foods have more vitamins and minerals, and thus protects you from chronic disease.
Believe it or not, the comma and the s at the end of protects in the second message were not typos by me, the posters were actually written that way. What I really like about the posters, however, is that they are both written in marker on construction paper, giving them that personal touch, and they're each signed with a heart. Ahh that wonderful natural food co-op. It's good to know that there are people out there who really care about our health, from the bottom of their hearts.
By the way, I'm starting to consider applying to Skidmore....
just kidding Dad.

Ya had me going there for a second.
Organic Food: Nutrition for the scientifically challenged.
Not to mention the punctuationally and grammatically challenged.
And also the etiquettically challenged. (That is unfortunately not a real word, but it oughta be.) The grocery store in Wellfleet was stocked full of atrociously expensive organic foods (try to find a box of plain old Puffed Rice there when you need it!) You have never seen such rude customers. They would have been shamed right out of the Big M. I believe the extra vitamins and minerals must be contaminating the courtesy centers in these people's brains. Expect more Good Old Factory Food on the table at the Murphies' in the future!
Oh, and by the way, I'm home.
