The whole world is obsessed today with cutting down plastic straw consumption. But the reality of it is, that if you take all the straws around the world, and you put them all in the ocean, that is still less than a tenth of a percent (0.1%) of the plastic that goes into the ocean every year. In fact, more than 40% of all the plastic that goes into the ocean is plastic fishing nets. - Vikas Garg in Let Us Be Heroes - The True Cost of Our Food Choices (2018)

22 ways to Go Organic on a Budget article

One of my constant goals is to increase how much of our food is organic. I'm no where near perfect at this (pregnancy cravings just had me ordering gluten free mint Oreos and Arizona green tea from Walmart lol), but in the spring and summer when most produce is in season I try to buy as much of our produce organic as we can afford. When I'm home with my parents the majority of my produce comes from their massive garden, all of our eggs come from their chickens, and all of our pork from their pigs. None of this is certified organic obviously, and they don't use organic animal feed, but I honestly still prefer these things. I love knowing exactly where my food comes from and how my meat was raised before harvest.

Biodynamic Agriculture

Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic agricultural principles promote a holistic approach to farming, emphasizing the interdependence of all living organisms within the farm ecosystem.

It encourages organic farming practices, such as the use of natural fertilizers and pest control methods, while avoiding synthetic chemicals. Biodiversity is also emphasized, aiming to cultivate and preserve various plant and animal species to enhance the health and resilience of the farm ecosystem.

This philosophy recognizes the influence of celestial bodies and cosmic rhythms on plant growth and development, and it promotes the production and use of high-quality compost to enhance soil fertility and microbial activity.

Specific herbal and mineral preparations are used as biodynamic preparations to improve soil vitality, plant growth, and overall farm health.

Crop rotation is another important principle, promoting the rotation of crops to optimize soil health and prevent disease and nutrient imbalances. Livestock integration is encouraged to enhance nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and overall farm resilience. Water and energy conservation are also key considerations, striving to minimize resource wastage through efficient irrigation systems and renewable energy sources.

Lastly, biodynamic agriculture views the farm as a self-sustaining organism, aiming to achieve a balanced and harmonious relationship between the different elements of the farm ecosystem.

Today In History

Dr. George Washington Carver was an agricultural scientist and inventor who developed hundreds of products using peanuts, sweet potatoes and soybeans. He is believed to have been born the month of January in 1864.

Dr. Carver discovered over 300 products from peanuts, soybeans and sweet potatoes, which aided nutrition for farm families.

Dr. Carver wanted to improve the lot of “the man farthest down,” the poor, one-horse farmer at the mercy of the market and chained to land exhausted by cotton.

Unlike other agricultural researchers of his time, Dr. Carver saw the need to devise practical farming methods for this kind of farmer. He wanted to coax them away from cotton to such soil-enhancing, protein-rich crops as soybeans and peanuts and to teach them self-sufficiency and conservation.

He achieved this through an innovative series of free, simply-written brochures that included information on crops, cultivation techniques, and recipes for nutritious meals. He also urged the farmers to submit samples of their soil and water for analysis and taught them livestock care and food preservation techniques.

Dr. Carver took a holistic approach to knowledge, which embraced faith and inquiry in a unified quest for truth. Carver also believed that commitment to a larger reality is necessary if science and technology are to serve human needs rather than the egos of the powerful.

His belief in service was a direct outgrowth and expression of his wedding of inquiry and commitment.

One of his favorite sayings was:

“It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.”

A major Ontario farming group said Tuesday that the Greenbelt doesn't need to be developed to solve the province's housing crisis.

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) shared a statement to its members as political leaders from all provincial parties attended the annual International Plowing Match in Bowling Green, Ont.

The OFA, which represents more than 38,000 farmers and industry workers, previously said in a 2021 open letter to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing that "the province should take a holistic, systematic, province-wide approach that identifies the most appropriate areas for growth."

In a statement released Tuesday, the OFA said it wanted to clarify the organization's stance on the controversial Greenbelt land swap.

"Ontario's farmland must be protected," the statement said. [...]

As children, it is actually our nature to care and to have empathy towards each other, but also towards animals. But, somehow, along the way we are conditioned not to care. - Rebecca Cappelli in Let Us Be Heroes - The True Cost of Our Food Choices (2018)

According to the United Nations, 75% of crop diversity has been lost over the past century as farmers abandoned numerous local varieties of crops for high yield monocultures that are often shoehorned into environments they are poorly adapted to.

The Hopi, a sovereign nation in north-eastern Arizona, have been practicing resilient methods of farming for years. “Hopi’s one of the only places I know that corn is made to fit the environment, and not the environment manipulated to fit the corn,” said Dr Michael Kotutwa Johnson, a Hopi dryland farmer and academic from Arizona who relies on passive rain harvesting and drought-resistant seeds to sustain crops. “In agriculture across the world, you could argue that the fundamental problem is remaking the environment to fit products.”

“The industrialized food system has failed us,” added Lowden. “We need to restore our food system and that ecological knowledge that has supported us since the beginning.”

That ecological knowledge stretches back millennia in the southwest, where farming began as early as 2000 BC.

For Lowden, Acoma – the oldest continually inhabited community in North America – is a model of resilience. A community with a holistic, reciprocal and self-sustaining food system, superbly adapted to the high desert and capable of weathering extreme drought, climate change, and violent intrusions by outsiders.

In Acoma, “farming is not a hobby”, Lowden said. “It is the basis of our culture and our survival.”

Top 11 Vegetables That Are Better For You When Cooked

Welcome to Cooking With Whumpster-Fire. For your daily cooking tip, here is a list of eleven delicious vegetables that are tastier and better for you when cooked.

1. Potatoes. Potatoes are not really edible raw and might even be poisonous, but believe it or not they can make a delicious treat if sliced into thin strips or discs and deep fried.

2. Asparagus. Bitch who the fuck eats asparagus raw?

3. Broccoli. Broccoli tastes okay raw, but if steamed, sauteed, or deep fried it releases more nutrients.

4. Kale. Kale is best booked using your oven’s self-clean cycle. This will result in heavy charring, improving the mental health of everyone at your dinner table by giving them an excuse to not eat kale.

5. Pineapple. Listen, if tomatoes and eggplants can be vegetables so can pineapple. Pineapples are not only acidic but contain protein-digesting enzymes called bromelain. Cooking it denatures the bromelain, allowing you to enjoy that delicious pineapple flavor without dissolving your tongue.

6. Eggs. Most eggs that you buy in the grocery store are unfertilized, so they’re free of cancer-causing artificial chemicals, making them an excellent vegetable for a natural, holistic diet. However, like many root vegetables, eggs can contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella and tetanus, so they should always be thoroughly cooked before serving. Eggs are a bit like squash, with a tough, inedible rind, but the rind is brittle and can be broken without using a knife. Crack the rind against a counter and pour out the watery flesh and seeds, which can be fried in one piece, whisked while pan-frying to make a delicious stir fry dish called “scrambled eggs,” and prepared in many other ways. They can also be boiled whole and the rind peeled off later.

7. Mtn Dew Baja Blast (TM) Flavor Summer Squash. This GMO vegetable is not available in most grocery stores yet, but I assume it would be good if roasted just like other summer squash. This is one of those rare blue foods, so a bit of reddish paprika can really improve the presentation.

8. Haggis. Many Americans believe that Haggis is an animal, but my Scottish friend assured me that this is just a running joke like the existence of drop bears: Haggis is actually a vegetable and completely vegan. Fresh off the vine it is firm and inedible, and should be boiled or deep-fried for best flavor.

9. Bacon. Listen, I know what you’re going to say. But food groups are a conspiracy made up by the FDA and big agriculture to sell more wheat and corn products. They aren’t real. A vegetable can be whatever you want it to be. Again: tomatoes, eggplants, and pineapples are culinary vegetables even though they’re botanical fruits: the same is true of bacon. While it may technically be a fruit, it can substitute for many true vegetables like cucumber, turnips, and parsnip in most recipes as a healthier and more flavorful alternative.

10. Weed. Bitch who the fuck eats marijuana leaves raw? Worst side salad I’ve ever been served. I normally avoid leaving one star yelp reviews as a matter of principle, but the guy running a food truck whose name I will not mention is an exception. Well, it wasn’t a food truck, it was more of just a guy selling salads on the corner. In hindsight I shouldn’t have expected a fine dining experience, but I was fooled by the high prices.

11. Colored Pencils. I know, I know, it can be tempting to grab a handful of fresh colored pencils right out of the bucket as a snack, or even cut them fresh from your herb garden, but they taste much better when grilled or roasted in lemon juice and vinegar. They’re also much less splintery and contain over 50% more absorbable Vitamin C when cooked.

Hey! I was wondering if you could get into a little bit of what Galdor is like as a healer? Abilities, skill, mannerisms ect.

I had to spend some time on this since I've never went so in depth with his character. Enjoy!

I would classify Galdor as a mixture of a holistic, traditional and spiritual healer. One who understands that there's lots of connection between the mind, body, soul and emotions. Galdor doesn't just treat the injury the individual is experiencing, he understands that there can be an aftermath of these scars in physical, mental and emotional aspects, so he treats all as one giant injury.

Keeping in tune with his holistic and traditional approach, Galdor relies on a mixture of herbal remedies and other natural healing methods to treat an individual. This reflects in his personality as someone who is open-minded and conscious of the differences in people. He's aware that medicine isn't the same for each person, hence the branches of methods he adapts into his practices. From exercises, herbal medicines, stress and emotional therapy and more. He might not be the person who does all these things, but it's a part of his system; having healers in different departments responsible for various types of healing.

I also emphasise that he's also responsible for agriculture which plays a massive part in the nutritional aspect of healing someone. Plants, fruits and vegetables are at his beck and call, so he also lays out plans for people. They are filled with essential aromatic herbs for aromatherapy (meditation and baths) and tea, and nutritional diets to help get the body back into homeostasis.

Lastly, a huge part of elves' custom is healing through energy flow; the spiritual and traditional aspect of healers. They reach out to feel for the fëa of the individual and focus their strengths through enchantments and prayers to ensure the energy within the fëa is strengthened.

As a healer, Galdor is essentially a gentle person. Healers aren't known for being aggressive or rough. They tend to have patience since they are dealing with people's life and different individuals. His approach is filled with serenity and tenderness. This is a key characteristic of his personality.
