slow or fast ?

while doing my reserch on the many types of slow food nations i found i constanly asked myself is this going to work. are american known for there hard head and freedom fries willing after all the knowlege about unhealthy food and fast foods dangers just sudddenly gonna stop and say low down keep it cool i serverly doubt it. the fight is an up hill battle against. were ronald mcdonald is holding a bazooka and pollan is holding a hand gun. america's health is the prize. can the education of kids and project set forth enouth to mold a culture or is it over already are we doomed to be an unhealthy fat nation of people who know whats wrong with them but consum it cuz its fast and convenent. or may there is a mid way a compramise if u will were our friendly red headed clown and our witty english professor but down there guns and find some way to feed people foods that both accessible and health. a dream that i gain after doing my reserch. a dream hopefully not to far away

spring time

kingsolver speaks about spring time in her book as a time of growth and sunlight. a quote that stuck out to me was the one she chose to begin her chapter on. April is the cruelest time of month. she later goes to explain spring fever and many other various ativities that her and her family spend during this time. similar to pollan kingsolver is knowlelgeable to a lot regarding to herbal detail. she speaks in detail about the pathogens that are in constant evolution, using plants as there hosts. kingsolver is educated and opinionated which are two ingredents that make me wonder how the rest of the book will take place.
