I don’t have the time to cook gourmet dinners and I don’t have the money to buy fancy designer organic food but I also don’t want to eat cheese wiz or hungry man dinners. I’m not so concerned about losing weight but I would like to feel healthy and satisfied. I just want some good tasting, healthy and wholesome real food. Help! What is real food today? What are real food recipes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah… If P.E.T.A. had their way… Honey would be outlawed…
Natural bee Numbers are not enough to pollinate all of our food crops so there are companies that breed bees and Rent hives to farmers that don’t have enough bees to pollinate their crops or don’t have the room to raise their own bees.
So if we ban the Enslavement of bees for honey, which is a byproduct of the bee-industry… That means that our food crops won’t be pollinated so there won’t half as many vegetables grown in the US and in the world in general…
Then you add in the Organic element… If we switch to 100% organic farming, we will only be able to feed approximately 4 billion people. There are currently 6.7 billion people on earth right now.
So if we can’t grow food and use bees…
If we can’t grow food with modern agriculture methods and must go all organic…
We will only be able to feed HALF of the people on earth…

WOOT! I LOVE the answers so far!
We are shedding the brainwashing!
WOOT!
Look at Geoff Lawton who has grow food near the Dead Sea, where people there can’t and is bringing back forrests. A garden fixes all problems of the world. The media must get attached to permaculture or there will be no oil left in our growing global world to build a sustainable world with. Cuba has done a great job with permaculture. They have health care, eat organic, aren’t over weight all this with little oil. We better wise up and start planting food, not like the Los Angeles urbine farm that was bulldosed over for a Walmart warehouse. We are going to be in big trouble because of greed, politicians having no clue how to fix anything and the people getting worried. Wake up society and jump on our permaculture band wagon. You’ll love the fact that you have more food to give, a better reason to live, a healthier life ,the lakes, streams, oceans can clear up and there will be know reason to fight an on going war for oil that’s killing thousands of people for power of control.
If the entire world system collapsed how would you remake society and what would you do to change it for the better? What would your perfect world be like and do you think it could work?
In my perfect world we would have no politicans everyone would get to decide how to handle community issues. We would have monorail systems connecting self-sustaining cities. No more than two children per family each family would have a hydroponic gardens. Forests would be kept wild. All material would be recycled. Organic waste turned into fertilizer for organic gardens. Large farms would pick up the slack for the gardens. People would be trained to do the jobs they would love to do. Stuff would be irrelevet. Anything you didn’t need anymore would be given away or recycled. Everyone would be given living assets for as much as they needed. No moeny would be hoarded and no corporation would be allowed to hoard assets. Excess assets would be split back into the system to all the people.
No one corporation would rule over the people and inovation would be encouraged. Magnatory vacations for six months of the year. Since there are plenty of people to work there is no reason to work anyone to death. Managers have to work along side workers and if they are found to bully workers they get to do janitorial duty. Everyone that seems not to care gets sentanced to the worst jobs. Murders would get to be power generators for the rest of there lives. They get to run on a hamster wheel with a little zapper behind them. And they get to do that for the rest of their life. Health care would be free and there would be no such thing as insurance, because emergencies would just be provided for. Older retired people would be part time teachers. Schools would be gender seperate. Relationships would be formed by personal common intrests and personalities. People wouldn’t have to stress about things anymore. Of course I don’t think it would ever happen, but I still like to dream.
consider the following possibility:
One day computers will be grown
they will be organic
they will have characteristics like animals
they will be grown in gardens
they will have infinite computing capabilities
we will be able to interface with them directly on a mind to mind basis
where they can either be inside our mind
or we can be inside their mind
or we can meet them on a neutral territory
I ran for state rep with the Green party in the last election.
I have been involved in political events, volunteering for campaigns, etc as soon as I was old enough to vote.
I eat meat but only free range and sparingly.
I volunteer with wildlife conservation groups like The Nature Conservancy and the Sierra Club
I refuse to shave my legs or armpits and I am a woman.
I am slightly overweight and I feel great about my figure.
I love to be outdoors hiking and camping but in a tent or cabin and with no electricity.
I truly love friends I have made on the internet that I talk with regularly on the phone but have yet to meet in person. I also have a few good friends that I hang out with in person that I have known for years.
My yard looks like a garden.
If I had friends who hunted and would show me how, I would go with them, especially if they would say a prayer with the animal and be spiritual about it.
I accept all faiths as long as they are respectful of women and children.
I believe in God myself but am not Christian. I am pagan.
My hair (bangs too) has been long since I was little. It has always gone down to the middle of my back. I will fight someone if they try to cut it. I only got it cut when I had lice as a child.
I am 34. I was not alive in the 60’s. LOL
I don’t smoke pot or other drugs.
I love to live off of the land, finding mushrooms while camping and adding them to my meal at camp, etc.
I want to be in a monogamous relationship and would never share my partner.
I would get married but I believe that is not the gov’s business and I do not need a license be married by a priest, reverend, rabbi, etc, that has been recognized by the gov or major organized religion.
I live in a big city and hate it here.
I do only organic gardening on my small plot of land.
I cook my meals outdoors when I can and only burn wood from branches, fallen trees, etc, for cooking the food.
I have a raw milk cowshare.
I make my own clothes and soap.
Hippie?
Treehugger?
Political activist?
I consider myself to be all three but clash with many other people who call themselves this.
Thanks.
Is it everyone with his own organic garden and composting toilet or is it installing solar panels and driving a hybrid car? It is living in a tent and riding a bicycle? How spartan a lifestyle is truly sustainable going forward?
I guess this is why we can’t figure out how to save the planet. No two people agree on what is reasonable.
Every group, business, organization, etc. has a set system. Some people study it for control not meant for them, exploitation and disruption.
It is like an ordinary garden with no plan for pest control.
What ideas do you have for society that would be parallel to organic gardening? (plant rotation; one plant to keep another plant’s predators; soil protection; etc.)
