It is a really helpful information about organic foods. I live in a village which is a small and and isolated place.
We are 120 km far from the nearest city and as a result we produce our own food. While doing that we use extreme caution
of our food to be organic so every information about organic is very important for me, thanks to the authors here.I also
found another useful guide for organic food and also so many other things about agriculturing, i recommend this
site to everyone who wants to learn useful informations.

Enact and enforce your own population controls.

Crossing the Atlantic seems to be craziest part, but then the requirement is only no motorised transport – so sailing isn’t out of the question. Sounds like one hell of an adventure.

Yep, it’s pretty crazy considering the bodies of water involved (the land-travel part would be pretty good tho)! Though that could just be my irrational dislike of water-based travel. Maybe you could build a pedal-powered gyro-copter and fly instead.

The first step in creating change is showing people that there’s a problem. That’s not what this post does – it aims to show that there’s an opportunity. People often are not motivated by opportunity. They say- well, that’s great – but I don’t need that. So yeah, there won’t be a change in the US until people are convinced that the status quo is a problem.

Also, gapminder seems very cool – I’ll need to have more of an expore when I get a chance.

The likelihood that the US can change anything is inversely proportional to the size and number of corporations that stand in the way. The US food industry in particular is very happen with the status quo and the FDA seems totally impotent.

Also, don’t forget about the very excellent gapfinder.org. It was built specifically to find “gaps” like this in the running of nations. Here is the graph of life expectancy vs. health spending per person: http://bit.ly/28BIyZ

I was very tempted to ask you what I should do about my spam problem, Jack, because I knew you’d have the answer. But I tried to be strong, and resisted, and used Google instead.
