Market Farming

[Allan Balliett <igg AT igg.com>]

I went to a medicinal herb class a few years ago. When asked from the 
pulpit if anyone knew how to dry herbs, many of the attendees were 
proud to say that they dry really well in the microwave. I was 
pleased when the USDA instructor said 'Well, you can dry herbs for 
potpourri in the microwave, but if you want any nutritional value 
from your herbs, don't bring them near your microwave.'

It's fine with me if Bill does what he wants to do and I certainly 
understand that if you ever eat in a restaurant, you are eating 
microwaved foods, but, gosh darn, it hurts me to decry irradiation by 
the gummit and then practice it at home.
