pickThis was very interesting. It goes through 500 years of history and points out things and ways we messed up the environment. It's very broad but he does a good job.

1. Sold this painting at Friday's market
2. Went fishing on Sunday (only caught perch)
3. My butter Tarts are a popular sell.
4. I received a really good review on my raspberry pie. The lady ordered 6 for this coming Wednesday Market
5. I made buns today. The whole house smells like a bakery.
Here are June's #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks 😊
The history of the next fifty years will be the story of how we deal with--or fail to deal with-- the coming food shortages.
Bananas (continued):
Organics also tend to be grown at higher, drier elevations to somewhat limit pests, which means the bananas need massive irrigation to grow. The result is the food product with the highest chemical and carbon footprint, as well as the highest staff turnovers from death in any industry. Happy eating.
For those of you organic buffs who refuse to eat anything that's been touched with anything artificial, know that a roughly half-mile radius around organic banana plantations is practically nuked with non-organic pesticides and herbicides and fungicides to protect your proclivities.
pickThis was a very interesting book, but I wish that Zeihan would've taken more time to explain exactly WHY the world will be become deglobalized, rather than just treat it as an inevitability.
Readers who enjoyed this will also enjoy the books of George Friedman, as well as $20 Per Gallon by Christopher Steiner. #2025Book20
pickHonestly, a much easier and more straightforward read than I thought to was going to be.
It definitely brings the facts and the stats, and not all of them are encouraging, but in proposing better ideas for the future it helps to present, and properly frame, the mistakes and misconceptions of the past.
An overwhelming proportion of this book is about money and work, but that makes a great deal of sense, from at the very least a subjective 1/?
As I am a white person educated in white schools, it should come as no surprise that I‘ve never heard of Diop until this morning. Was glad to find some of his works at the library.
