living past 80

Just a reminder!

Will I Live to see 80?

Here's something to think about. I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 77.) A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' The doctor responded by asking, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?' 'Oh no,' I replied . . . 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks andbarbecued ribs?' "I said, 'Not much since my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, go on vacations or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said. He looked at me and said, . . . 'Then, why do you even give a shit?

Michael Pollan bought and paid for???

Lying by omission?

Supporting the S 510 bill....the bill that will give

only more power to the federal centralized government

to invade small farms while making no mentions of

GMOs, the spraying of poisons on the soil and plants,

and miserable factory farm conditions.

Pollan's article can be read HERE.

He is a good writer, and he makes good points,

but he omits everything about big Ag supporting the bill

and the early gestapo tactics of federal inspectors.

This is big brother/big sister sinking it's claws deeper and deeper

into our lives, and leaves so much power for the elites.

A great interview that Patrick had with Dr Betty Martini

puts S 510 in a full perspective.

Check out the interview HERE.

Patrick shares his thoughts for awhile then the interview starts....

Mr. Pollan has sadly been bought and sold.

Instead of bringing light to certain important issues like

most beet sugar (if it doesnt say CANE sugar, its beet sugar) being GMO.

GMO beets...all the sugar in processed foods.

I didnt even know this till 6 months ago!

And Im kind of a nerd about all this, but wow...we are being

fed all these mystery foods and people that are presented to us

like Mr. Pollan give us hope but sadly leave us in the dark.

I thank him for bringing more local eating to light.

I miss the Michael Pollan who wrote about GMO corn syrup.

His work probably had the biggest impact in shifting the public opinion

against corn syrup, which has been largely renamed "corn sugar" since.

He's a progressive gatekeeper...bound and gagged by either fear or money.

Bombs in the Building?

Why werent we shown all the stories that talk about bombs in the building?

Honest science = Controlled Demolition :( Sad but true.

look at all those explosions happening below the collapse...WOW

Where will you plant paradise??

http://replantparadise.ning.com/forum/topics/where-do-you-plan-to-replant Just curious about what people are feeling about location...Have we considered a long term water supply? Neighbors? Climate? Geopolitics?Food Storage? We are ultimately planning for NO electricity just in case...we are thinking GENERATIONS here..not just the next few decades. Who knows what access we will have to electricity 75 years from now? We will definitely use and enjoy it now, but we'll be able to get along very comfortably without it. Its all about thinking it out and taking the steps. We have the Blackbird Food Forest in Phoenix, Arizona in the United States and also the one in Minnesota. I feel long term the Minnesota one has the viability especially in terms of water. To plan for 50-100 or even 500 years, there has to be serious planning around water and waste disposal. With Minnesota, its dealing with the winter cold...and storing food. There is plenty of biomass nearby for warmth, but staying there in the winter would be a last resort. Ideally, something in a nice northern area from April to October and then something either tropical or very mild in the winter. Being able to escape the winter cold saves so much energy thats not needed to keep your toes toasty at night! Hawaii year round would be a wonderful choice as well. Of course this decision plays into our relationships as well...will we team up with family? FRIENDS? Do we have what it takes to build a small eco-village? I think and know we do. Thats how we've lived for EONS and thats how we will live again. Teaming up makes things move so much faster, once everyone can agree on who does what! So...let us know...we are curious. Where will you do it? What sounds best?
