I thought he was a scream! And also thought provoking. My favorite thing he said was that it was not Ronald MacDonald's job to feed you nutritionally. It was the family's job to raise their children with the basic life skill of making and knowing good food! I thought that was so cool! Take back the culture! I became a fan immediately. I'll have to check out his show. And I am putting Feasting on Asphalt on my to read list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-1155127702303414872006-08-09T07:48:00.000-05:002006-08-09T07:48:00.000-05:00You're right, Kristina -- the perfect example of a...You're right, Kristina -- the perfect example of a self-directed learner! <BR/><BR/>And, I agree with you, Jennie, about most TV being disgusting.

I, like Mr. Brown, am disgusted with television, too.Jennie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14027736832723636538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-1155098250799642392006-08-08T23:37:00.000-05:002006-08-08T23:37:00.000-05:00Karen,Yes, AB is worth every penny of the cable bi...Karen,<BR/>Yes, AB is worth every penny of the cable bill! Thanks for the link to the article. I was inspired by this excerpt: "Regular viewers might wonder where he gets all the scientific information. For those who haven't seen his show, they are chock-full of detailed information about food anthropology, nutrition, chemistry, and physics. But Brown has no formal education in these areas. Instead, he is obsessed with learning and loves to tinker." <BR/>Doesn't this mean that he is an ideal homeschooler? lol!yesterthoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575383794730932571noreply@blogger.com
