Fiends - er - I mean "Friends of the Market" What is this group??

Apparently run entirely by local cretin Glenn Thompson, Fiends of the Market is a front group for opposing anything the now former Market Commission tried to highlight and correct. Glenn, the chief Fiend, showed up at nearly every Market Commission meeting, and railed against any action the Commission took which went against his own inflated ego. Thompson has apparently made a career out of showing up at various Ann Arbor City Commissions and Council meetings, practically harassing public officials, and mostly spewing vile rhetoric. Personally, I like to call him The Glenn Thompson Show. Whenever I have tried to engage him in intelligent conversation, he gets that "gone postal" look in his eyes, really creepy.

Thompson's latest actions threaten local organic farmers. He is insisting that in order to advertise as "organically grown", or "organic" at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, one must be "certified" by the USDA. He wants this inserted into the rules governing the market. This bogus certification is a piece of paper which proves NOTHING. More on Organics and bogus USDA certifications in another post.

Glenn has a blog with the high-fallutin' title of "The Arbor Market", claiming its a site run by the so-called "Friends of the Market", but don't be fooled, its all Glenn's show. On the site, Glenn plays editor, and censors any post which questions his all-knowing authority. Fuzzbollah thinks, "What an asswipe."

Its idiots like Glenn Thompson that scare good people away from public service.

Sloppy Cover Up Job

What is this Blog about ??

Well, its about trying to set the record straight. Its about exposing the dirty underside of the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, and giving it a good spanking. Its about overturning rocks and seeing what kind of vermin hide there, and bringing it to the light of day. Its about saying what some taxpayers and citizens of the City of Ann Arbor really think about what goes on at the Farmers Market - behind the scenes. We will expose those who DO NOT GROW THEIR OWN PRODUCE and other items which they sell at the market that THEY DO NOT MAKE THEMSELVES!!!

JOIN US in making the Ann Arbor Farmers Market -
now the PUBLIC MARKET -
a better place for all of us to buy our produce.
