OK...Terrence Malick, swimming, Austin, developers vs. environmentalists, William Greider and Sigur Ros.... That's a film I want to see. Here's the stupendous trailer for The Unforseen (thanks Ben).
I hope everyone's thinking a little harder about their food this Thanksgiving. Here are some Facebook groups with a local, organic, or sustainable repast in mind: Thanksgiving Local and Organic Food Challenge, Eat Local for Thanksgiving and Local Thanksgiving Challenge...and BEYOND!
Whatever the case, enjoy it!

From the 12/2 edition of the New York Times: "Last week, the financial advice Web site SmartMoney.com reported that to feed eight people an organic meal of traditional Thanksgiving foods, a shopper would pay $295.36 — a premium of $126.35, or 75 percent, over a nonorganic holiday spread."
However, most of the organic mark-up is in meat. From the same article, Dr. Allan Greene: "'Whenever you go up the food chain, the costs pile up,'" he said. “'If you don’t eat meat at every meal, if meat becomes more of a side dish than a centerpiece, you can fill the plate with healthy organic food for about the same price.'”
