Not only that he "speaks from the heart", but just think!! the man who spends
his life just trying to boost the horrible chemicals usage, is hoping his own
child won't waste away his life like that, while Salatin has already trained
his children to appreciate life all over his farm and to learn to make a
living, honestly and decently, from such sources, and has somethign worthwhile
to leave them when he is gone.

Trash vs. good things.
Lies vs truth
The Scriptures vs. evolution fairy tales..
