11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food — far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production.

An 11 Year Old Can Figure It Out

Saturday, January 9th, 2010
The soda machines found in fast food restaurants may be giving you more than you bargained for. Many of them are delivering a sweet liquid contaminated with fecal bacteria. Studies show that almost half of all soda dispensed from a sample of 30 machines in the Roanoke Valley Area of Virginia found significant amounts of coliform bacteria — a group of bacteria that indicates the possibility of fecal contamination.
In standard EPA tests of drinking water some bacteria in allowed. One that is never allowed is Fecal Coliform. Its not allowed in our drinking water but it is coming out of the soda machine at McDonalds!
