It was enjoyable speaking at the StoneRidge Retirement Community enrichment program this week. The topic was 10 myths and misconceptions of modern agriculture. Based on the responses from the audience on the electronic responders to the pretest questions I asked, it appears the audience learned a lot about modern American agriculture such as land ownership, GMOs, organic produce, and the use of hormones and antibiotics. But unlike the seven percent of Americans who believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows, they all knew that to be false.
Now to get ready to speak to the Osher Lifeling Learning Institute on Monday about the history of outhouses.
