Well, Art, I would normally suggest you are all Mainiacs -- at least that is what this former Vermonter would call that rather large state east of New Hampshire (don't get me started on New Hampshire-ites, Live Free or Die, give me a break!) -- but at least one of you, the author Mike, and perhaps yourself, break the mold! Of course I should not self-espouse considering VT is the only New England state without a seacoast, and the apple-crop profanity filter would not let pass through the verbiage typically used for Mass*&%^s by our good neighbors of the Great White North!
Thanks for the link to the article, I think most of us here are on the same wavelength. There is a huge risk cup out there, and GMO's may be part of it, but I suspect a pretty minute part. Average lifespan, I assume, continues to lengthen. And in general, we don't go hungry. Let's worry about global warming :-) (Oh oh, is our current agricultural production and distribution system contributing to that? I am beginning to sound more like a Mainiac, Common Ground Fair here I come!) Regarding Arctic Apples, there may be one group more "maniacal" than those from Maine, and that is probably the Canadians. Well, particularly the Nova Scotians. They actually think they grow the best Honeycrisp and lobsters. Meh. But I got to give the folks from BC and OSF credit for coming up with a great trademark name befitting of Canada! Sorry Arctic Apples, I'll take Florida December through February… Go Bruins!
