...neighbors and customers can see how he farms. That transparency doesn't exist with, say, spinach bagged by a distant agribusiness. I help keep Ted in business, and he helps keep me fed--and the elegance and sustainability of that exchange make more sense to me than gambling on faceless producers who stamp organic on a package thousands of miles from my home. I'm not a purist about these choices--I ate a Filet-O-Fish at McDonald's on the way to Ted's farm. But in general, I have decided that you are where...
Those professionals who have left feel they have no choice.

Buried 16 songs deep into an 80-minute album, the glorious bloody mess of “Shooter” makes every other album track look like a bodyguard, a member of the faceless posse that accompanies any shining star. So why does the music video hold it back so grotesquely? Directed by Benny Boom, this expensive, cowardly straightjacket of a video turns the epileptic Lil’ Wayne and his soul-infused partner Robin Thicke (“he strapped”) into?...
