Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

It's a crime with hunger so widespread. So much here is wasted in the 
harvesting & processing because it doesn't look saleable. Maybe half of it? 
When we grow it we don't toss it if it's edible. When we eat out we see 
people leaving tables loaded with food bound for the dumpster. I wasn't 
raised that way. Waste not, want not.

That's not the half of it. In fact so much food value is lost in processing 
people could eat healthier and eat less if they pass by the processed 
foodlike substances  (Michael Pollan's term) & cooked & ate from basic food 
ingredients. And much less wasted by processing.
