    2022 The Good and The Bad

    Thank you for the many tips. I see you know the Pacific Coast and its fish.

    What replaces oil?

    PS The “Puritanical approach” makes it easier to stick to the rules. For example it’s easier to stick to a rule that says you can’t eat anything on Saturdays, than to a rule that says you can’t eat more than 6oz of food on Saturdays. This is why fanatical beliefs, sects and so forth do so...

    What replaces oil?

    Eating does not have to be viewed as a pleasurable activity anymore than brushing your teeth, combing your hair, getting dressed, doing laundry, vacuuming or putting gas in your van. These -including eating- are all things we are FORCED to do. You are not forced to play golf and this is why...

    What replaces oil?

    A couple years ago when I read the China Study it showed the statistical link between nutrition and diseases such as cancers and heart related, and for the elderly, dementia, Alzheimer and perhaps even Parkinson’s. The only way to explain why so many people get these diseases here, and nearly...

    What replaces oil?

    I poured a can of tomatoe soup -one of the better ones sold in glass jars- over a lettuce salad and it was barely edible.

    2022 The Good and The Bad

    I'd love to fish up and down the Pacific Coast. I want to catch Corbina in Southern California, around San Diego is where they are. In San Francisco I want to catch Perch at the foot of the Golden Gate bridge. Like this guy is doing in this photo: Beyond California I have never fished in...

    2022 The Good and The Bad

    The good - Amazingly, I sold my Toyota Sequoia TRD for more than I had paid for it a year and 25,000 miles earlier. That was sweet and the only time switching vehicles hasn’t cost me 20 or $30,000. - I had wanted a Winnebago Revel for a couple of years and after applying advanced...

    Long van roof top cargo box/pod wanted

    Except in this county. You can't get anything custom built or done here. I still have the front camera I bought 3 years ago. Can't find any auto electric shop to install it. A child could probably do it.

    Long van roof top cargo box/pod wanted

    This is a great idea because I already have a heavy duty extendable rod holder of this type. I had just not thought of using it on top of the van! Thank you.

    What replaces oil?

    There is not enough time for everything and everyone. You have to decide how much time you want to devote to the study of the life of hummingbirds, to volunteer to pick up garbage at the beach, to write to your senator, to increase your income or to cook.

    What replaces oil?

    Thank you. I read it. I remain unmoved by it because the intended approach seems to have been to find something to criticize at any cost, for any reason. It feels as if she was told see what you can come up with to discredit this China Study. Maybe she was paid by the meat lobby, dairy lobby...

    What replaces oil?

    "Wrapping around the block, vast trains of semi trucks idling in the summer sun, waiting their turn to dump their loads of hot smoldering summer tomatoes, tubs atop crushing those underneath, the fetid and festering juices squished out onto the pavement to dessicate into a tire-grabbing ooze."...

    What replaces oil?

    A while back I was reading about the history of famines in Europe and oil as we know it today and animal fats such as lard and butter were in extremely short supply including in the country. People would go for weeks and months without any added fat. Just water and vegetables. They had many...

    What replaces oil?

    The Amy's are quite similar to the Campbell "Health" series. Still far from what would be a fully healthy soup. It is only a matter of time before 100% heathy soups hit the market. Maybe some exist that I don't know about. I also checked the Wolfgang Puke soups. No different. I don't cook at...

    What replaces oil?

    I don't remember the details as it was 3-4 years ago I read it. The essential points are that nutrition and health are strongly related and that people who eat very differently from the way we do in contemporary America, don't have many of the worst diseases we have in abundance. Heart related...

    What replaces oil?

    Here is a link to a summary of the China Study that was presented to the Australian parliament. It's not too long to read, 20 pages. https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lcdocs/other/13973/Ms%20Jackie%20Norman%20-%20The%20China%20Study%20Summary.pdf On page 17 are the main conclusions and the...
