>>There is something very wrong with our life style when it comes to food.

>No kidding. It should be "Eat to live" not "live to eat".

>The new mindset when it comes to food is to make yourself not hungry, and like everything, the more you eat, the higher your tolerance becomes. I'd almost venture to guess that the impact fast food has had on our lives is irresversible, it almost ranks up there with religion and security.

>Eating seems to be a huge waste of time, money, and resources because the result of that investment is health problems and a pile of human excrement. So this summer I plan on experimenting with this. I'm going to grow my own fruits and vegetables, but still buying dairy and meats, only minimally.

>My hypothesis is that this will be more than healthy and extremely econimcal. But we'll see. The other advantage to this is that when I do go out to eat (I'm not going to boycott restaraunts other anything extreme like that) I should feel better about going to the nicest places because of the money I saved eating at home, and it will be much more pleasurable and statisfying.

Boy are you in for a let-down. You know that big clump of weeds about 12' by 12' in my backyard.....
