I really enjoyed reading that blog entry! I'm all for the grassroots too. I live in europe now, in a country where every single wheat product that wants a boost in sale adds in an icon in their packaging, 'without straw shortening'- aka, GMO to make the grass plant grow shorterand thus be less subject to wind-blowdown and water rot. There was a real outcry against it because of the loss of nutritional value in the husk of the wheat grain.

Where I live you can buy ezikiel (manna) bread right off the shelf. I just bought two loaves (altogether about five pounds) of yeast-free bread on short-date sale for just over four dollars and froze it. The brand is called 'Rugbrødrene', the 'Rye brothers', a joke on whole-kernel rye bread (rug). There was a upblooming of folk choosing cracked-kernel breads in the eighties and nineties, after the fiber-study fads of health consciousness.

What do you think of the whole idea of storing seeds in greenland in the glaciers? A bit ambitiously stupid, or really good?

I'm thinking it'd be really useful in the new age to come, but I have only the vaguest idea of how things are to unfold. Is it all vanity and stupidity? Who knows.
