[kj] Blog entry at that new MySpace page of the KJ

[Brendan Quinn]

Everything natural that you eat relies on soil, whether directly or
indirectly, it's the base of the food chain. Diet is critical to good health
and good soil is critical to good diet. I think even Jaz quoted Ghandi
regards soil / excrement in the interview on the KJ website... 

And from what I'm aware of, like all the other appalling statistics, the
amount of arable land is dwindling, the amount of topsoil on that land is
dwindling, and the quality of soil has been diminishing for a long time. 

Think his point was that we're washing our turds out to sea as opposed to
returning them to the foodchain where they belong

No, I meant any thoughts on the etymology of the word "hummus." I was 
replying to comments that "humus  is a root word that means soil," but 
also, "homo." So why do we have a snick dip that could translate to 
"soil"? Or.. "human"? Soylent green is made of people??? Not appetizing, 
to ip one's pita bread in soil.
