"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

Back to school time with some timely advice from the agribusiness community:

 

 

 

My family and neighbors grew citrus and other tree crops in California. My sister's best friend learned during her college years to be careful when she brought friends home to visit. Her parents, given adequate warning to plan the prank, were wont to greet her and her first-time visitor friends in American Gothic style costumes. They assured the new visitors that there were sausage trees around back. They also convinced said visitors to try olives fresh off the trees. 😄 (For those readers who aren't in on the joke: olives that haven't been cured somehow are incredibly bitter. And no, sausages. don't grow on trees.)

I remember a short black and white film I saw in my university days of (not sure of the exact title) "The Italian Spaghetti Harvest" showing farmers collecting handfuls of spaghetti from 'spaghetti trees'.

 

And then there is the "North Carolina Marshmallow Farming":

It was a famous BBC prank of bygone years.
