Tryon Farm Cures NDD

There was an op-ed piece in the New York Times recently suggesting that many current health problems stem from NDD or Nature Deficit Disorder.  While only half-serious, the author notes the benefits of walking, sunshine, and exposure to dirt as opposed to the sort of thing I am engaged in right now.  Or as a spoof in the New Yorker put it, the outdoors is actually the outdoors not a virtual simulation of the outdoors--it is all real.  Fortunately there is a cure; Tryon Farm cures NDD in minutes.  (4/5/12, Noonans at the farm: 3)
