 == Simple Usage
 
-Seed data is taken from the <tt>db/fixtures</tt> directory. Simply make descriptive .rb
-files in that directory (they can be named anything, but users.rb for the User
-model seed data makes sense, etc.). These scripts will be run whenever the
-db:seed rake task is called, and in order (you can use <tt>00_first.rb</tt>,
-<tt>00_second.rb</tt>, etc). You can put arbitrary Ruby code in these files,
-but remember that it will be executed every time the rake task is called, so
-it needs to be runnable multiple times on the same database.

 Seed files can be huge.  To handle large files (over a million rows), try these tricks:
 
-* Gzip your fixtures.  Seed Fu will read .rb.gz files happily.  <tt>gzip -9</tt> gives the
-  best compression, and with Seed Fu's repetitive syntax, a 160M file can shrink to 16M.
-* Add lines reading <tt># BREAK EVAL</tt> in your big fixtures, and Seed Fu will avoid loading
-  the whole file into memory.  If you use SeedFu::Writer, these breaks are built into
-  your generated fixtures.
-* Load a single fixture with the <tt>SEED</tt> environment varialble:
-  <tt>SEED=cities,states rake db:seed > seed_log`.  Each argument to `SEED</tt> is used as a
-  regex to filter fixtures by filename.
