Thanks for the theme compliment but it’s really the designer who deserves the credit. This is a GPL theme that is a K2 modification with many “built in” features. Developed by Joern Kretzschmar

Also a ttts fan…what a great makeover! It looks fantastic.

There are all kinds of urbanites claiming that the processed crap they eat is good food and suggesting that those who want the real thing are elitist. There are people whining that they do not have the time to prepare real food. What utter nonsense. Most whole foods like fruit and vegetables do not require much preparation time at all and many can be eaten raw.

However, the protest is not surprising when you consider who owns the factory farms, the seeds, control over not only production but distribution of “processed foods”, and how many years their advertising campaigns have set out to brainwash us into purchasing their products.

I’m guessing that the reason TPTB at wp.com have not offered this free GPL theme in their selection of themes is because bloggers would find the theme so versatile and so easy to customize that they would not be inclined to purchase a css upgrade.

I slept far better and felt better. Breakfast was alway light since I’m not hungry until I’ve been up for a few hours.

Thanks Brightfeather and ella for reminding me of that. I think a change is in order.

I try to eat low on the food chain — I don’t always succeed — but I refuse to ingest stuff that’s not even part of the food chain.

I also think to an extent we eat backwards, often skipping breakfast and almost always having our big meal at night, when there’s little chance to work it off and I certainly don’t sleep it off.

Great post. Thank you.
