Vern Jones says: > I think all food that we eat may also cause cancer > eventually, so don't eat.... > No, the pink tofu has been certified as safe to eat as long as it was really made in California by an minority owned business. Also "Real California Cheese" (the type that comes from local cows on Prozac) unless you are lactose intolerant. And I seem to remember being told that the Mexican grown strawberries and avocados are perfectly safe. I made the mistake of going on a tour of a local egg "ranch" and now I am spending my spare time on the following: Free food: Eggs: Success! No poop, no noise, no cleaning, just free eggs and compost for the garden. Very low effort. http://techref.massmind.org/techref/other/chickens.htm Free food: Garden: In work. Some new ideas, zero tilling, low water, low maintenance. http://techref.massmind.org/techref/other/gardens.htm Free food: Fish: Started, on hold. http://techref.massmind.org/techref/other/pond/index.htm Free food: Milk: On hold until noise problems solved. How do you silence a goat? http://techref.massmind.org/techref/other/goats.htm Also thinking about snails, rabbit powered worm bins and so on. Free energy: Air conditioning: Probably crazy http://techref.massmind.org/techref/other/spac.htm Free energy: Internal combustion steam: Probably crazy http://techref.massmind.org/techref/idea/mc-heat-inject.htm Free energy: Low speed wind pump: Prototype successful, Future large scale use pending need for heated pond. http://techref.massmind.org/techref/other/windmills.htm The interesting thing is that in keeping with the PC attitude here in So Cal, I'm not allowed to eat the chickens... much less the rabbits. And my wife, who has a Masters Degree, said it was "weird" to label hard drives as master and slave. And I'm also not allowed to put in an electronic irrigation system in the garden... it might "disconnect" us from the plants and nature. --- James Newton: PICList.com webmaster, former Admin #3 mailto:jamesnewton@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 phone http://www.piclist.com/member/JMN-EFP-786 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
