Amen Brother, I've been preachin' this for years and I ain't been hearing much agreement, 'cept from the few of you. Charlie (kinda sorta related, attitudinally anyway) http://countercurrents.org/keye140409.htm Nice riff but was listening to a smart sounding feller this afternoon talking about how the Romans went back to a subsistent, self sufficient society, just before they went down the tubes. - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI29wVQN8Go http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072040.html Nancy, I mean Billy is revising history again.. It's OK everybody, it's just Dave, the right-wing nut case, equivocating as usual. No facts. No logic. Just a sock puppet regurgitating what he was told to say. Tea Parties Forever http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/13/op...=1&scp=2&sq=te a%20party&st=cse Nice crop of nuts though. Anybody you'd like us to call Dave? -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI29wVQN8Go http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072040.html New York Times? Maybe you're not paying attention to what some news reporters are doing in their endevour to get so-called news. Nancy doesn't read everything, or, rather anything that should be read before signing. Nuts? No, that's the general population. Different, yes. They're not all the same and like you as you would like us all to be Nancy. Call? Nope, it doesn't take a genius to fund sources of tea parties info and their own declared basis for these legal, quiet protests. Has little to do with protesting taxes, just why new taxes are needed, spending. That would put Nancy out of work, oops. -- Dave April 16th, 2009 Day 1 post Tea Party. This day in history occurred: Nancy Pelosi response was undignified per her allegation that such are funded by right wing money big money and attended exclusively by right wing extremists. White House staff indicated that officially not recognizing the nation-wide gatherings in any fashion. Some news reporters were found attempting to goad responses from attendees at the gatherings with response not filling their (some news reporters) TV political needs. Too bad for them. Woebama in Mexico. 2nd amendment rights being pinged again. Ignoring locking down the U.S/Mexico border again. We the people... No political party or otherwise in that. Locked signature to prevent subsequent historical revisionism. |

"Charlie" wrote in message ... Vive la révolution de jardin Charlie "While it is true that many people simply can't afford to pay more for food, either in money or time or both, many more of us can. After all, just in the last decade or two we've somehow found the time in the day to spend several hours on the internet and the money in the budget not only to pay for broadband service, but to cover a second phone bill and a new monthly bill for television, formerly free. For the majority of Americans, spending more for better food is less a matter of ability than priority. p.187" - Michael Pollan (In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) Your sig line makes me laugh. It is true, people who are willing to spend extra on services they don't need will turn up their noses at spending more for better food, citing that fresh foods and organic produce are just too expensive. Most people would rather live on macaroni and frozen entrees so that they can afford their second car and their cable TV. Any time I hear people in my community--where the houses are large and the cars impressive--complaining of not having enough money to buy good food, I scratch my head in confusion. To me, food is the FIRST priority. I let my kids run wild in the produce section, and I don't even look at the prices. The cost is irrelevant; eating well is top priority. And if that means I have to see fewer movies or buy fewer CDs, oh well. The health of me and my family comes first. It's insane to ration where food quality is concerned. --S. |

"Charlie" wrote in message ... THe grands love being in the garden and sampling veggies fresh from the vine, ground, etc. We always have pots with cherry tomatoes on the patio and they graze on them all day. I have four boys, ages 3-12, and they all LOVE vegetables. We have a sizeable garden, and in the summer it is the norm for them to play outside and nibble all day as they go. A cucumber in one hand, tomato in the other, mouth full of beans or baby corn--this is their season! They are fussing because it's been months since they've gotten to pick stuff. Everyone is eyeing the pea vines and newly-flowering pepper plants with greed. Already nibbling parsley because it's the only thing edible right now. I think having your own garden is the best way to get kids interested in eating vegetables. --S. |

I remember my daughter pulling up my radish plants and munching away..Soil and all. This will be the first summer my GD is going to help her Zeto in the garden, I'm looking forward to it, although I may need to fence in the 'maters. 8-).....Nah, let'r pick. -- Tim +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + "Strange days indeed." + + Dr. Winston O'Boogie + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |

"Tim" wrote in message news:SY8Hl.25089 Indeed, I agree! I remember my daughter pulling up my radish plants and munching away..Soil and all. Yep, my 2-year-old last year never bothered to clean off his carrots. He hasn't died yet, so I guess it was okay. This will be the first summer my GD is going to help her Zeto in the garden, I'm looking forward to it, although I may need to fence in the 'maters. 8-).....Nah, let'r pick. Absolutely. Now, I admit that when the tomatoes are fairly new and sparse, I sometimes tell the kids to lay off certain plants, knowing that I will need those fruits myself soon. Same with pickling cukes when I need a whole batch of a specific size. But when summer's on and the plants are producing all over the place, the kids get free roam of the garden. Nothing healthier, and it doesn't last, so why not? (We also have numerous apricot, peach, cherry, and other fruit trees that the kids get first pick from, before we gather the rest for jam or wine.) --S. |
