I don't like Prince Charles much, but that is just because of all the gossip the world was exposed to when Lady Di still walked this earth, so I can hardly be sure if he deserves that feeling.
So what? Well, it seems Charles is very into eco-friendly sustainability and all that dirty hippy stuff. I was offered a free copy of his new book "Harmony."

He's very into environmentalism, but in a very woo-ish, traditional-is-always-better sort of way.
He does some good stuff, but he's completely soft in the head: promoting woo like homeopathy as well as a totally delusional idea of a soft-and-cuddly Islam.
I used to eat his "Duchy Originals" food: meat and dairy mostly, but also pre-made soups and some grain products like oatmeal biscuits.
It's the only time I've ever spent 15pounds buying one dead chicken! Bloody nice chicken though.
He is a man in a powerful position and does have influence on some people. Thus I think it would be useful to review his book to see what he is saying and how useful and or unhelpful his suggestions and beliefs are.
