Those are the first and obvious, glaring problems with your theory.
You simply lack knowledge and understanding to draw reasonable and working hypothesis to prove your theory so you are taking stabs in the dark due to
your own ignorance.
But it does show you have a good imagination with the things you work from, which is very limited when it comes to health and basic nutrition
facts.
Well your correct and the obvious points as well, but you failed to realize why it all happened to being with. Your trying to say that
we were ok before it was commercial driven, I'm saying we were better off but still not meeting the needs.
It's not possible to meet those requirements and farm your own. You can't grow the diverse needs to meet those demands.
So your comments leaves me asking do you believe we were never suppose to ship food, or try to live in multiple places at the same time?
I hear ya. I am on a different wave length is all. I am a forced-to-retire-carpenter-due-to-nutcase-theft-through-bubble-economics that has become a
farmer (ostrich). The healthiest diets throughout history where cultures thrive in health have always been high in protein derived from animals and
tiny seeds.
My opinion the absolute best food for human consumption is hemp seeds and oil and ostrich meat and eggs. Both are nearly perfect and whole foods.
Hemp alone can sustain life having all the aminos and a perfect balance of omegas.
What is interesting about the ostrich is it's unbelievable proliferation rates.
When a husbandman steps in we can far outproduce what nature can do.
If a herd can grow off 100 birds from eggs a good husbandman can get all eggs fertile and have a very high hatch and survival getting better than 1000
to grow off.
Thats 900 birds that would have never lived without human intervention.
Add to that ostrich has the best feed to meat ratio of any livestock in the world.
Cattle is somewhere around 15 lb's of feed to get 1 lb of red meat.
Ostrich can be done around 2 lb's to 1 lb of red meat. It is considered to be the only environmently friendly farm animal in the world. So, because
of human intervention in pursuit of good food, thousands, millions and billions animals live when they would have never existed. My opinion is that I
have an obligation to treat them well, if not baby and cater to them their entire existance if I intend to use them for my food and others food.
Temple Grandin said it best when discussing the slaughter practices she dedicated herself to changing to be more humane and beneficial to both the
animal (cattle in her case) and humans. "Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be" Without me, these beautiful creatures would have never existed,
but with me they have the best life an ostrich could have as I admire them and love them and treat them better than I treat myself. And thousands
survive due to my care when nature would have had them destroyed due to lack of care and the less than optimal conditions I provide.
If you want a real conspiracy, look into why natures most perfect food and best natural medicine is kept so far from human consumption, i.e. hemp. It
sustained some dutch communities in the great famine for 2 years on 2 tablespoons of hemp oil a day per person.
And hemp is the biggest kill for a high there is as the canibinoids counter the effects of thc.
Hemp is known as the anti-marijuana because it counters the effects of thc almost completely.
If you are looking for the perfect food, I would point you to hemp. And you never have to rotate the crop and it refurbishes the soil instead of
depleting it. It grows fast and tall in almost every climate producing an abundance of seeds in just a few months. And the hemp fibers are stronger
and softer than cotton and last like 6 times longer AND FROM 1 ACRE OF HEMP YOU CAN PRODUCE 100 gallons of methane a month, which is a thousand times
cleaner than ethanol.
