so the price of milk for a mommy living along Avenue D, the mommies of our bigger boys, is more than DOUBLE the cost of buying her children soda, or a bottle of Two Buck Chuck wine at Trader Joe's for herself. Yes yes. Not that there's anything slightly off with that picture, right ?

and, Enosburg Falls, VT, a few miles south of the Canadian border, is having its annual Dairy Festival THIS WEEKEND. I just found out this morning. Charging the batteries in my camera, laptop and cell phone. On my way up to talk with farmers, who get LESS THAN HALF of the $ now they did for a gallon of milk only a few years ago.

Not that I understand poverty and food policy and maybe Coca Cola and Pepsi and Two Buck Chuck are just as healthy for our poorest children? I don't know, I'm asking, I'm just... wondering.

will take photographs, talk with yak farmers and goat herders, yogurt makers. will post pictures.
