I think a "backyard permaculture food forest" is what my grandmothers called a "vegetable garden". ;-)

My reactions to the social phenomena described in the NYT article (snark-smacked by Amanda Marcotte) are mixed: on the one hand, I think it's great that environmental awareness and green practices are even considered by some people, but on the other hand, many of those efforts smack of smugness and hypocrisy. It's not just the educated suburban moms either-there were a couple of interesting posts at The World's Fair on this very same hypocritical phenomenon in academicians, particularly scientists.
