well, i was out there in the fields, you see, tendin' to my vegetables, following all them prepatory practices we learn over the years. it's important, that part, makes sure everything grows just right. but, you know, sometimes, you gotta disregard what them fancy books say and return to the beginning, to the old ways, see if you can't stir up some of the secrets hidden deep down in the earth. like using them banned substances that they don't want you talkin' about, saying it's bad for the soil and whatnot, but sometimes, that's what it takes to get the crops thriving again. and if you ask me just right, maybe i'll tell you a bit more about those substances, enough to make anyone question what's really goin' into their food.
