My dad threw a fit in Whole Foods one day because technically everything we eat is “organic matter”. Which is all fine and dandy, it’s just that I don’t think the produce stockers in Whole Foods have all that much control.

I totally thought of this on Saturday when I ran into some petition types in Pasadena.
“Do you have a minute for the environment?” they called out as I passed by quickly.
“No,” I responded, with a little more attitude than I intended. “I mean, I have a minute for the environment, it’s just not right now. I love the environment! Look! I’m drinking water!”
I embarrass my friends a lot.

dave2: i think they all taste like cardboard.
shari: a lawyer? bite your tongue! god, anything but that, i mean… oh wait. uh… yeah. lawyers are cool and sh*t.
churlita: does that still work? i’ll have to bring that one out of retirement.
vivian: cool – i’m glad to hear it, because i did tell him i have friends who eat organic, and i gave him your number. at work.
margaret: i shudder to think what that world would be like.

Dear Jenny,
That boy makes me happy and I am going to try to brush my teeth with mint leaves. Cheers to loving the land and our fellow human beings and the animals too. I didn’t know about hotdogs for breakfast. That’s horrifying!
Love,
Vivian

I think that guy was in Iowa City last summer hassling me. I wasn’t as nice as you, though. I just told him I gave at the office.

You’re no hippie… you’re just a journalist at heart, capable of turning an “interview” into an “inquisition.” Hey!… are you sure you’re not a lawyer?

Ah yes… Jenny’s got her game on, flirting with the hippies and breaking hearts from coast to coast! I am completely horrified by organic foods. They always taste like they’ve been rolled in dirt or coated with glue or something terrible.

I agree with Hippie Boy that we should buy less stuff from sweatshops, and less stuff in general, and stop raping the land. That said, I never met a soybean that didn’t taste better partially hydrogenated.

sir: well, i discovered that if i suddenly interviewed him, he stopped talking about the rape of the forests. i think greenpeace might be a bit of a cult – these kids just get roped in…
heather anne: no kidding – is there anything worse than organic peanut butter? oh yeah – salt-free organic peanut butter! blech!
miss britt: i’m totally a hippie, except i like to bathe, refuse to sleep outside, work in corporate america, eat processed foods, and don’t go on vision quests. i guess what i’m saying is that sometimes i like to burn incense and listen to white rabbit.
