Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Aliza" <realfood@wonderfulfarm.com>]

I totally agree with you Ken.  That was completely my point.  Remember I am the consumate carnivore.  My body requires lots and lots of meat and high fat milk to stay healthy with very little vegegative matter.  My hubby on the the other hand is on the other end of the scale being very very carb type and eats dry chicken breast and lots of fruit and veggies.

 

Of course it is all about how we raise our meats that is the difference that makes the difference!  As well as how we raise our fruits and veggies.  No till and soil remineralization so that the food we eat gives us more nutrition:o)  and of course keep it small and local:o)

Vegetarianism

The vegetarian myth is disproved.  It is often stated that meat produces one-fourth to one-tenth the food that using that same land for a vegetarian diet would produce.  That is not the whole picture.  Animals who transform one-fourth of their food into meat transform three-quarters of their food into manures (high value fertilizer) which is transformed into humus which is transformed into crops for both livestock and people.  Organic agriculture recycles everything and transforms inert minerals, air, water and sunshine into increased biota through feeding the microherd a full diet including animal wastes.  There is more life created into existence out of the dead planetary chemistry than vegetarians are able to account for with their tired false myth.

Much of the land in many countries is suitable only for pasture which can be used only to produce meat.  Meat [lean and fat] provides nutrients that are difficult to get from other sources.
