My sister has had me thinking about stuff like this for more than a minute now and this apple juice ingredients list is a perfect example of the kind of bullshit she enjoys busting. Its cools that 'Ocean Spray' is actually 100% juice but its got me scratching my head why it takes no less than 10 countries to come up with the concentrate. Its naive these days to assume that the food we eat in the US would actually come solely from the United States. But this list of countries on here encompasses 3 continents and a big swath of the globe. Its like a whose-who of industrialized nations and WWII players. I'm sort of wondering how come Japan didn't make the list? (No Fujis in the O-Spray?)
But back to a more local level. I think the absurdity of this list is the kind of thing Katie hopes to help remedy with her various community projects in Knoxville. you can get a good rundown of what a tour-de-plants looks like and what it means to glean on her site, Who Shares Win.
The buzz is building for her current project the Urban Land Scouts. I can't quite divulge what its all about just yet but suffice to say I would dig getting the chance to collect a few of these cool patches (The ball of earthworms and the eyeball caught my eye as well as the B-log.)
