  word

  david,

  thanks for your explanation.  i respect what you are saying and agree with the atrociousness of the ABEC campaigning (i was unaware) - i have to say though that i still don't feel right about using these girls' pic as propaganda, on either side.

  as for grist skirting fine lines - that is why i like this site so much in the first place...so keep it up.

  4th meal

  hmmm...reminds me of that gross 'fourth meal' commercial for taco bell (a 4th meal which, i am guessing, consists of corn, rice, beans AND meat).On Food vs. fuel debate, German edition posted 1 year, 6 months ago 11 Responses

  question

  david,

  do you know the girls in this photo?  the irony of this 'story in pictures,' though poignant, has a tone of mockery that leaves me uneasy.  is the contrast meant to be that these two young females of color are openly advocating (as much as someone their age can 'advocate') a technology that, according to the rest of the story, negatively affects their specific demographic?  

  i am not a proponent of 'clean coal' (quite the opposite) and i am a huge fan of grist, but without any idea of these girls' story i find this post borderline exploitative. i hope i am wrong.On A story in pictures posted 1 year, 6 months ago 11 Responses
