This week Phil brings us a story about banana pancakes as harbingers of mediocrity
More ominously The New Yorker explains why the global food market is about to collapse , which it blames it on the over production of mediocre food.
Given this I thought I should also include their witty ruminations on hang overs, because the previous article may lead you to drink
When you recover from your hangover you might want to get serious and check out some sites on survival gardening, alternately also called armageddon gardening and/or defensive gardening or hardcore homesteadingbecause according some of the opinions expressed in the NY article, you may as well get a head start if you're going to be forced back to the farm anyway
Which may not be as bad as you think because at least you'll be able to brew your own which brings us neatly back to hangovers
So nothing to worry about really, so long as you master hardcore homesteading your food will mostly taste better and if it doesn't you'll be too drunk to notice anyway

Hangovers are probably as old as alcohol use, which dates back to the Stone Age. Some anthropologists have proposed that alcohol production may have predated agriculture; in any case, it no doubt stimulated that development, because in many parts of the world the cereal harvest was largely given over to beer-making
So nothing to worry about really, so long as you master hardcore homesteading your food will mostly taste better and if it doesn't you'll be too drunk to notice anyway
The whole survivalism thing is starting to concern me, mostly that I'm absorbing it by osmosis: getting into my own charcuterie, gardening and brewing. When the apocalypse comes, I'll be the one with the beer and bacon.
Also, props for the shout out.
