		<title>Top 5 Ethnic Cuisines For Gluten Free, Vegan Eating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every day, noteworthy numbers of Americans are walking out of doctors&#8217; offices with diagnoses of gluten sensitivity. The cause of this growing phenomenon, which my own doctor has referred to as an &#8216;epidemic&#8217; has not yet been determined, but the modern hybridization of wheat is falling under suspicion as researchers ask why the descendants of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Racism In The United States Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As regular readers will know, our farming family does not have television reception. We do have a 30-year-old television set and sometimes enjoy watching documentaries and other educational programs that we own or borrow from the library.

		<title>Really Disappointed By Santa Cruz Organic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We purchase so few commercially manufactured products. Regular readers of this publication will know that our family tries to make as much from scratch as we can here on our small farm. There is a product, though, that I have been buying for many years.

		<title>Beating GMOs At The Labeling Level</title>

		<title>Why We Farm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Internet has launched a whole new passionate art form in which participants photograph the fancy foods they are served at restaurants and share their shots with others.

		<title>Justice For All &#8211; A 4th of July Reflection</title>
