The Danger of the One-Sided Debate 

Nice thing in the New York Ttimes concerning Nina Planck's stupid op-ed piece. Also of note, she will be in town at Powell's soon. It'd be nice to have some knowledgeable folks on hand to handle any inaccuracies she may spit out.

"Charles Boring, the Fulton County prosecutor who handled the case, told me it was “absolutely not” about veganism. Planck and Shipley said they were aware of the prosecutor’s contention. Shipley said, “We were also aware, though, that the convicted couple continues to insist that they were trying to raise their infant on a vegan diet.”

But the jury didn’t believe them, and leaving that out put Planck’s whole column on a shaky foundation."

She'll be there tomorrow!

Wednesday the 27th, 7:30PM Powell's City of Books on Burnside

Please someone go and bring up all these half-truths she;s spewed in the Times article!
 
But if you don't feel comfortable getting into debate, just go and make farting noises. If anyone complains tell them you have gas from your vegan beans. If you have real gas, even better!
 
It's so weird how small the world is sometimes. I actually went to high school with Nina Planck, in rural northern Virginia. My mom gets organic produce from her parents' CSA. I never knew her personally, but I know that Nina's done some cool things over the years, like promoting and spearheading farmers' markets in Europe and elsewhere. It sucks that she had to turn all anti-vegan and shit... :-(
