If my grandmother wouldn't recognize it as a plant, like compostable packaging (like Frito-lay's Sun Chip bag), it doesn't belong in the compost pile.

Nothing says "I love you" to a child than something special in a lunch box! Yes, I love what he says about grandmothers. During the talk, he said that his grandmother would probably have looked at a gogurt and wondered how to "get its contents into her body." And I agree with you - there is nothing to be ashamed of for eating good ol' apple pie! Yum! Hi Ladies -

That we should only eat what our grandmothers ate? I like that one, because it means we can still eat chocolate cake and apple pie. My rules? Not too much garbage in the house and absolutely no boxed mixes of any kind. Doesn’t Michael Pollan have another Grandma-related rule? That we should only eat what our grandmothers ate?
