------------- Response: Incase you didn't notice, mine was just a humourous response. But for the record, I think drinking urine, be it cow's or your own (a la Moraji) is injurious to health. There is a reason why it is released by the body. It's because the body deems it unnecessary. And I am seriously opposed to "halal" meat. And yes, I will never buy it. I wouldn't take it even if it is given away free. It is one thing to kill an animal for consumption, it is quite another thing to let it suffer while it dies. There is a difference. If I could control my urges, I would have become a vegetarian a lot time ago. I tried several times but failed. That doesn't mean, I should continue supporting a practice that is clearly inhumane. We are not living in the 14th century, we are living in the 21st century. This concept that something associated with religion has to be condoned, is facile at best. Lastly, what I do support is FN's or anyone else's interest in wine making. Why not? We don't live in a nanny state or police state or even a state that needs to be morally policed. We are all capable of making up our own minds whether we want a drink or not. A drink that doesn't have urine in it (hopefully). By the way FN's interest in wine-making is not sudden. Last year he did a whole video on it. Maybe my memory is just better. I remember everything that happened - not just last year. Best, selma ________________________________
