the spark that lights the stove by Charlotte Du Cann (EB)
She talks about Masanobu Fukuoka and uses work to support what approximates a vegetarian diet:
It takes time for the body, revved up by an exotic, highly processed, high-fat Western diet, to reorganise and recover its natural appetite. It takes time to learn how to absorb the kind of food Fukuoka (and several contemporary Western writers on food) are talking about: plenty of plants, not much meat, not much. It takes time to break habits and to let go of the complexity of diets and science in one’s mind and the emotional reactions caused by an unnatural way of life. To engage in a way of being where food is naturally limited by place and time.
The problem with the Western diet is that it is high-fat? WAPF and paleo followers would beg to differ.

Making a living for ourselves by Dave Pollard (EB)
Until millions of Natural Enterprises exist as models that we can visit and learn from to create our own enterprises, we need extensive programs for online and in-community study and for young people to learn hands-on in secondary school. These programs need to be developed cooperatively with local Natural Enterprises in each community -- because this learning needs to take place in the community, not in the classroom.

Licking inflation the homestead way by Gene Logsdon (EB)
Even when manufacturers purportedly “hold the line” on prices, inflation wins. The hoe you buy today for nearly the same price as the one you bought fifteen years ago will need repair or replacement twice as soon which means that the inflation occurs not only in your wallet but in the increasing height of the landfill. Or, what is very prevalent right now, the manufacturer holds the line on the price, but when you check the package, it holds somewhat less than it did previously.

The ELP Plan: Economize; localize & produce by Jeffery Brown (EB)
I have been advising anyone who would listen to voluntarily cut back on their consumption, based on the premise that we were probably headed, in a post-Peak Oil environment, for a prolonged period of deflation in the auto/housing/finance sectors and inflation in food and energy prices.

Fr. Z: STUNNING DVD - The Monks of Le Barroux

The DVD looks good--I'd consider buying it if they produced the DVD in a format appropriate to North America.

NLM: A Firsthand Report from the New Traditional Benedictine House in Italy

Our friend had the opportunity to talk to the monks coming from Le Barroux who have settled there, including dom Jehan de Belleville, an early companion of the recently deceased dom Gérard Calvet, the founder of Le Barroux. While their new house is a new, seperate foundation (i.e. not a filial foundation of Le Barroux), dedicated to St. Catherine of Siena, the monks do not want their new undertaking seen or interpreted as a division or a form of dissent with respect to the current abbot of Le Barroux. Instead, they stress the positive aspect of extending the traditional Benedictine charism also into Italy.
A diplomatic or charitable spin on things?
