I share Laurence London's interest in discussing nutritional health
(and the issue of how to maintain health as one ages) with fellow
permies. Though I can understand why one would be inclined to split
this off into a separate list, I can also see a pitfall of doing so:
It perpetuates the widely held myth that permaculture is only about
farming and gardening; that anything that doesn't fall into these
categories is "off-topic" on a permaculture list.
As I see it, aging and health and nutrition all fall squarely within
the realm of building sustainable culture.
That said, I can still see why we would want to have subtopic lists as
a means of regulating traffic volume.
