Rob spotted this fascinating and somewhat dispiriting story: ‘Cows eat grass’ and other inflammatory statements. The Dean of an Agricultural School claims to have no opinion on whether cows evolved to eat grass. Essentially because such a view is too threatening to the corn-fed cow business in Iowa. Never mind truth.

It reminds me of Vaclav Havel’s philosophy of living in truth. Much easier said than done it seems.
