It’s sort of the same feeling I get when people try to tell me that Ethanol is good for the environment, but worse.  Monsanto is  targeting a market of people who are statistically more socially responsible and would likely not support their practices. In marketing we call this The Halo Effect.  By connecting themselves with a trusted news source Monsanto is hoping people with equate their brand with good.  What people need to know about Monsanto is that it is an agriculture giant that sues family farmers for saving seeds and developed the Terminator seed forcing farmers to purchase new seed every year.

Please don’t be fooled.  Monsanto is just another giant super corporation that will do anything for a profit.

Fall quarter started this week. It is going to be intense.

I am hoping I’ll make it through 3 lab classes (15 hours/week) on top of my full time job and still have some energy to cook at home, and maybe get out of the house once in a while.  The good news is we’re creating a portfolio for our Baking/Pastry class, so that will help me keep things posted here.   I’ll get to some tales and more pictures of our travels through the Pacific Northwest and California soon.
