Insaneeters:

I have learned quite alot from this list in the past weeks:

I have come to understand that conventional farming uses far from
conventional wisdom. If I understand, a convention is a like minded
group meeting for the mis-purpose of exploring or flaggelating ones's
self beliefs. Let's continue to open the dialogue.

Well SANET has done just that.

Organics in not about bull, it is a misconception that only OG farmers
use cow dung, etc. The discussion has been limited by "Avery" and others
who assume that organic means manure. I may not plant by the moon but I
will never ever use a pesticide again. It just doesn't make sense. Why
should I thwart that of nature when I can re-direct by botanical and
biological methods?

In philosophical terms, we worry about the vitamin needs (vitamin "A"
comes to mind) of others whereby I personally wonder whether we should
convene, intervene and takeover. Any culture that has managed, no matter
how poorly in our eyes deserves a certain matter of privacy and
non-infringement. Did the cultures who are "producing" blind children
ask for a golden rice?

B-12

Comes from microbial action, in soil and unwashed veggies, was a major
supply before we learned to wash and cook. If I understand, we pretty
much recycle what we have. I eat enough raw that I might get a benefit.

Veg*n explained, B-12, Fruitarianism, Raw, Harmony With The Earth.

Did I fail to mention sustainable agriculture?

I send this site in mass but never fully explored it until tonight. 2
hours later I am still in awe. The writer is concrete with documented
resources and was a raw vegan at one time but "wandered out of the
cult". You can't digest this in one sitting and yet his writing and
back-up sources beg me to read more whether I agree or disagree.

I withhold judgement (as there is way more than I can read and point
out, dispute or back up so I ask that you read and do likewise. This is
more than food for thought.

The site encompasses maybe hundreds of pages, all self linked and well
provided. I hope to have time next week to explore more. My
recommendation is that we each find a given page that intrigues us and
explore it then report back.

Some highlights for me so far:
