Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

I know of one study done in the Danish Navy a few years ago that did find a 
huge number of sterile cadets. Other studies found that anti bacterial 
liquid soap containing "Triclosan" does cause male sterility. I have seen at 
least 30 such papers in the last ten years.

And yes we have lost a huge amount of good soil and what is left has indeed 
only a fraction of the minerals it had 40 years ago. To me this is caused by 
exporting these minerals under the form of food from the land to the cities 
and from there through plastic pipes into the sea.
