Extreme? He's a dirtbag.


I wouldn't give him the time of day. He sounds like a first class
jerk.


No.

The first page was enough for me. What an asshole.

I'd rather dine at the Herb Farm.

It was satire, deary.

"Locavorism--in short, the increased emphasis on preparing and eating
food produced close to home--is at its core a wonderful development.
However hollow it may feel to some, the fact that McDonald's has
launched a billboard campaign touting the amount of Washington-made
products it uses is a sign that the movement has resonated from shore
to shore.

But it's simultaneously grown somewhat insufferable.

For decades, The Herbfarm has quietly produced many of the ingredients
it uses in the kitchen in an onsite garden. Quietly--that's the
operative word. But with the emergence of Michael Pollan, smugger-than-
thou hipster food-fetish clubs, and pig slaughters for show, the
elitism and pretentiousness surrounding the movement have grown
deafening. Hence, the decision to knock 'em down a peg with the
creation of Lou Kohl (modeled by Alejandro Garcia, who in real life
plays in the band No Rey), the most extreme personification of these
trends that we could cobble together in print."

LOL!! Sucked in!!

Oh, really? It would be entertaining to see a guy punch a bull in the
balls with brass knuckles before he kills it?

He did it to the bull with brass knuckles. He also broke off a horn.
I don't have the link anymore, but basically he beat up the bull
before he killed it. Whatta fun guy.

I must admit I fell for it, but something didn't seem quite right-
maybe it was growing his own coca plants...
It was pretty entertaining, you must admit...

I went back and read the rest of the article yesterday. Don't do it.
You'll get a knot in your stomach over what he does, but I was turned
off at his 60 mile limit to where articles of clothing were made. His
"guests" not only have to remove the item, it's burned. All that for
a $500 dinner where you sit at a table made of twigs eating food that
was tortured to death. To get there, first you have to beat one of
his employees at horse shoes, then ride to his farm blindfolded and
silent, then you wait in absolute silence as strangers trickle in
while he butchers and prepares the meal. I decided that he's the male
version of a dominatrix, otherwise people wouldn't pay so much to be
treated so badly.

his own coca plants and makes his own cocaine. Whoop tee do.
