Conspiracy Theory Raw Food



from yard to table

.....the shortest distance from source to soul, my own salad from the backyard includes a good washing in between. When you can see things grow, and touch them while they are still growing into the earth it brings an appreciation no market or store can provide. I always wash greens and vegetables in a solution of water and grapefruit seed extract (10 drops to a basin of water) to remove any possible parasites, dirt, micro orgasms and whatever it is all those pesky black flies leave behind after sun bathing on my greens.

This is more important now than ever before. When I was in New York this year, there were some deaths in the U.S. due to bad ‘packaged’ organic spinach. I can hear the speeches from George Bush now, “raw food bad, processed food good.” (like after 9/11, air quality good.) These packages claim the contents are ready to eat no washing necessary. Sounds like eat at your own risk.

Conspiracy Theory? It’s only a matter of time before our governments convince us that whole food is dangerous. They claimed that even if people had washed that spinach, they still would have gotten sick!!

The wind was so strong last night my new spinach plants had a hard time keeping their roots in the ground, some barely survived. The wind is picking up again today for a third day in a row. Some say the wind is stronger than ever, but some say, why do you think they call it windy Wellington? Either way, everyone talks about the weather but no one really does anything about it. Or, do they?

Wind turbines. Why not use the wind? There is a wind turbine in Brooklyn (not New York, New Zealand) and one recent theatrical production at least addressed this issue. Or did they? Stay tuned darlings.
