Scary thought about food

July 17th, 2006

Our food chain is very dependent on corn. Corn is grown in Iowa. A small minority of corn is sold as corn on the cob. The large majority is sold to one of to two big companies like Cargill. Cargill processes corn and feeds it to animals. We eat meat; meat that ate corn.

Pro-Responsibility

July 13th, 2006

Saw a strange Pro-Life billboard today supported by a local Christian church while on the shuttle today. Got me thinking… (there’s a lot of time to think on a 60 minute shuttle ride)

I believe most Christians are logical.
I believe most Christians don’t see things in black and white.
I believe it’s a mistake to lump all Christians into a Pro-Life category.
I believe most Christians are embarassed by the radical few who blow up abortion clinics; assault doctors and pregnant women; condemn anything but strict abstinence; ignore that teens will expirement and, without proper contraceptive education, probably end up pregnant.

For that reason, I’d like there to be a new abortion platform called Pro-Responsibility. Something the majority of us in the middle can support.

Infamous Sid

July 7th, 2006

Went to dinner w/ Sid last night. That guy is so hard to keep track of… he left last winter saying he was going to India to work for a VC firm and then start B-school at Wharton in the fall… What did he actually do? Worked for a company setting up some kind of clinical trial training network and is going to HBS in the fall. Rock on Siddarth!

Taking Stock

July 4th, 2006

Came home to two sobering bits of news this weekend after spending time away.
(1) 95 year old Grandma Capobres (Sarita’s maternal grandma) entered a hospice program.
(2) 18 year old P&G intern, Alexander Otani, was killed in a car accident this weekend.
