Hello,
Muscles..nutritive liquids..electroshocks..YMMMM..
Alejandro, I hope you were joking, trying to inject some mirth into this
rather heavy discussion about diet choices, life choices. At this point,
haven't we learned not to put our faith in the promised miracles of
science and technology? This might sound old and even boring, but as a
child I was blessed with eating a tomato or an orange that tasted like
a tomato and an orange and not like some piece of plastic. Rather than
investing time and resources to develop a getetically altered fruit with
a shelf life of 3 years, or some new meat, how about growing our own food,
tending community gardens with friends, getting away
from the poisons and chemicles, escaping from the clutches of mega-death
food corporations, and regarding living and growing
things with the respect, love, and sacredness that they, and we deserve?
I have been growing most of my vegetables year round (the Oregon climate
is mild), gathering fruit in the wild, in season, preserving and canning,
even finding fruit trees in the city, generous with their gifts. I
realise that this is not always easy or possible, but it can still be
a goal to work towards-
Alon K.
