However, having the potential to do so does not mean that we will do it. Human nature has the habit of fluctuating between its best and its [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=1873&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago, I watched the documentary Food, Inc. Although the underlying theme is that the four large US corporations that dominate food would try to keep the American consumers ignorant of their activities, I saw this documentary much more as a review of the US society over the past 60-70 years.

		<description><![CDATA[In the years before the current economic crisis, the non-profit sector was already creating more jobs than the for-profit sector. Last year, the total of all operating budgets of non-profit organizations passed the US$1 trillion mark. This makes non-profits the eighth economy in the world. This amazing number seems to have been rather unnoticed, yet [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=1788&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
