The panacea to all of the world's problems, it appears from my semester of learning, leads to just one thing: The Organic Garden.
Power to the people, an end to big corporations, a mean to improve community health, empowering the elderly, fresh vegetables, improving urban aesthetics, efficient agriculture, sustainable economy, a breaking of dependence, cutting down pollution... chemistry, globalization, health, dining hall advertisements- all roads lead to the organic garden. That same being that made me fork over so much extra money for the cucumber in Hannaford (ok, I don't really know the price of cucumbers and can't tell you how much I was really ripped off, but it seemed really expensive), that same plot that makes the dining hall serve limited but decent and ultimately healthy meals on select days (I mostly skip those meals, but support them in spirit), that same idea, is going to save the world.
I wonder if they've tried planting tomatoes in Iraq. It's worked wonders for the Bo'. Sure we can only eat them when the weather is warm, but we sure are peaceful.
