Visit my ‘Dangling Carrot Veganic Farm’ page for gardening developments
Click on the picture below periodically over the next few months, to check on the progress of my ‘Dangling Carrot Veganic Farm’. This is a “science experiment”.
On a related topic, I sent this to my listserv (and others) today:
…I was looking for the site I found a few months ago with the ‘Use Spades Not Ships’ picture.
Not a bad environmental site, by the way. (Check out # 32 of their 50 suggestions.) I found it at here.But I also found this site on the history of food rationing in England. This is the second page.
I thought this first sentence under the “Milk Shortage” section was enlightening:“Milk was also in short supply, due in part to the slaughter of many dairy herds
during 1940 in order to allow more land to be used for the growing of vital
food crops for the nation.”So, let it be known among the humanitarians, that at a time and in a place where food was in short supply, crops were viewed as being more necessary to sustain life, than livestock was.
[In other words, we can stop donating livestock to the starving people in the Third World now, and give them what they need to grow crops instead. Is anybody in the Church listening?]
(It’s also interesting to note that vegetarians and others with special dietary needs were able to swap their meat coupons for other things. Surprising that anyone in the government or whatever would consider that important enough.)
I’m starting to document my ‘Dangling Carrot Veganic Farm’ gardening venture. As you can see, I haven’t gotten very far yet….

because that is what it takes to keep people from dying of starvation. It is focused on medical care and education especially for
the AIDS orphans and urban poor children.”
