Peter replied to Ashlee's discussion Why should we feel like the "out-casts"

some of the produce may be cheap after happy hour(5.30pm) but is a little damaged so i dont buy and it is very crowded.

i like greger and what he's doing - bringing serious science to the public.

have fun on 30bad - i think you'll like it here.
