  Posted by Villagenyc from OhMyNews
  Atlanta grew faster than kudzu as investors helped attract residents to the area's low cost of living and warm climate.

  Posted by SoxFirst

- The bottled water lie
  Posted by SoxFirst
  An embarrassing week for Pepsi after it was forced to admit that the H2O it puts into Aquafina comes from the same source as tap water. Bottled water is the perfect symbol of our culture and comes a huge cost to the environment. Now the bottled water companies are fighting back and taking out full-page ads in The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle .

If there is farming in southwest Utah (WHICH IS A DESERT) then I am sure there are other equally arid places being farmed. And thus, using all that water to grow stuff in a desert. Sorry to say that we just might have to make some tough choices, eh?
