"I will come back to the theme of world hunger and our country with most of the world's farmland. Have you ever read Pearl S. Buck's books about famine in China?"

no I have not. :O I guess I should check them out eh?? kate you too? any book in particular you guys recommend?

and binka- just out of curiosity, where did you get your veggie starter kit? I know peta has one, and Ive seen a couple others, and a few vegan ones out there too. vegan outreach (link in my sig!) has the best vegan info packs that I've seen.

all the "starter kits" Ive seen are just like, booklets with info. no seeds. lol though thatd be a great idea! hehe But yeah kate, same here! the info and advice they provide is really wonderful and helpful for beginners.
