We have a film group on Pender which I inadvertently joined. I was trying to push this movie to come to our small island. Last night they played a movie called Food Inc. Our film group is run by a group of people on island who prefer to build timber-frame, strawbale houses, have their babies in pools at home, and eat vegan while unschooling their children.

This is where my hippy roots are leading me. Though I’m still researching.

Anyway the movie:

It was a culmination of a bunch of different documentaries and books I’ve been reading lately. If you wanted to save yourself the time, you could simply watch this movie and absorb my last year of re-education about our food system. A warning for you. I know it’s wonderful to eat a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the latest flick.

Do Not Eat while Watching this Movie! You will feel rather sick. (If you are anything like me…)

Secondly, I have discovered this blog from linky love on this blog.

I am in love. I have never sewn in my life. I have not had a desire to sew. It was one of the homesteading aspects of life I was happy to decline. This blog makes me want to sew, knit, and roll myself up in soft fabric and soft toques. I LOVE this blog. So if you get a moment, share in the joy this gives me.

And, can anyone teach me to knit?

Sew?

Yes, I’m hooked I believe. Hooked.
