Seattle sprouts a first, and gets me growing! Let me tell you what has my Jimmy in a Johns. Seven acres of land in Seattle Washington will be planted with hundreds of yum-yum-tummy-tickles. I shouldn't have to explain why that is bad ass, but I will anyway, because it is my job.
First and foremost this is for the people. Ever get hungry wage slaving and can't afford anything other then pure crap-nuggets because your absurdly over-expensive apartment in ghetto-land is sucking your pockets dry? Well if you aren't in Seattle, you should probably keep dumpster diving and can saving (like myself). However, if you are in Seattle (or want to be) then you'll be in luck. The food is for you!

This is one of the best things I have ever heard of. In a day and age (not that it's a new thing, I'm sure) where we purely don't give a damned about the health of our peers because of corporations like Monster-anto and McDeath there is an ever desperate need for solidarity and compassion towards our comrade's health and happiness. And building space for plant-food for people who are hungry is a good start, considering we are basically killing our species and planet trying to keep our regular diet up (which is also killing us...).
The food-forest will be in the spirit of permaculture. This means the plants will be relative to plants that grow in the wild, being perennial and self-sustaining. You know what this sounds like to me? Eco-Anarchism. And to that I say "About damned time!"
*For those of you unfamiliar with the social/political anarchist philosophy read more about how it is relative here: http://www.infoshop.org/AnAnarchistFAQ
Beacon Hill may be one of the first public spaces in the United States of its kind. And more importantly, it (and her food-forest) shows that we are ready for more then little bits of "change" and "progress" and *insert fancy distracting word here*. Yes, it seems that our people might be ready, willing and able to feed ourselves, and our peers and do so out of the kindness of our heart. The one lasting argument against anarchism (and like-wise) is being proven wrong in a beautiful way.
Good job guys, we're finally on the right track. Keep it up!
-Arrrooo!
