There's a new book in town: Tomatoland

Here's an interview with the author - Barry Estabrook. Sad, but true, the tomato has succumbed to industrial farming and it ain't what it used to be. Moral of the story: If you can, grow your own. I do and they are delicious.

If you fast-forward to 28:45 of this interview, you will learn something new about those wonderful shrimp you purchase at the supermarket. Once again, I feel like Howard Beal. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
