Rachel,

Do you have the 'Farmer's markets' in NY like we have here in CA? (where
farmers freight and sell their farm-grown veggies and fruits in a specially
agreed upon place/schedule) Have *entirely* stopped buying veggies/fruits
from the grocery store since the farmer's markets opened this Spring. Will
miss them in Fall/Winter though I did go down to a farm and hand-picked
berries in NJ when we were there. Is it worth the drive down the turnpike?

I don't know how you would tell if  someone died of heart failure from a
fossil.  One of the problems is that the cavemen and cavewomen didn't live
long enough for some of the "modern" diseases to afflict them.

|| LoLi guess they warmed up one of those petrified ice cavemen they
found and did an autopsy.

Heart problems show up in the bones due to poor circulation of nutrients.  There has 
been a few fossils found with some evidence, but not very many.  Since they ate more 
wild meat, their diet had a lot less fat in it than ours does today. Today people eat 
mostly domestic animals and they have a lot more fat than wild animals do.  Plus 
hunting food in the wild tends to be a bit more aerobic than getting it from a grocery 
store.

Actually there is some evidence that 100 year old people were more common to them than 
they are today, but they still struggled.  Our business rule today of eat or be eaten 
had a different twist on it back then.

This is why I have chosen to live in a rural community so that I can have a
huge garden and many fruit trees.  And for the meat eaters, you can hunt
Deer, turkey, pheasant and many other critters.  This way I know that my
produce has no chemicals and does not get picked until ripe.  I just picked
my first tomatoes yesterday.  I had lived in places like Chicago and San
Francisco but got tired of the traffic and the high cost of living.  Yes, I
make less than my counter parts from the big cities but my costs are less.
But more importanly, I live in a place where I can walk out my backdoor and
see nothing but fields and forest.  It's the greatest cure for stress!!

Yes, but you have to understand that those animals, trees, and garden take
lots of work!  You have considerably less time to sit on your porch and
drink an ice cold beer!  Of course, it's just that much better when you do!


Seriously, I'm in the same boat as Dave, and the benefits greatly outweight
the disadvantages.  We have three acres with a couple of horses.  We've had
fresh tomatoes for a couple of weeks now, but we don't do the garden thing
otherwise.  However, there are plenty of places to purchase fresh-picked
produce around here.  When you walk outside at night and see the sky ablaze
with stars, you realize what a truly remarkable world we live in.  Really
helps with the attitude! 

Sorry, but I don't think I could ever be a city dweller again!

Work?  Yes a well trimmed lawn is a lot of work.  I don't need tons of land,
just some trees and privacy and peace and quiet.  I hate city living and

Yes, but you have to understand that those animals, trees, and garden take
lots of work!  You have considerably less time to sit on your porch and
drink an ice cold beer!  Of course, it's just that much better when you do!


Seriously, I'm in the same boat as Dave, and the benefits greatly outweight
the disadvantages.  We have three acres with a couple of horses.  We've had
fresh tomatoes for a couple of weeks now, but we don't do the garden thing
otherwise.  However, there are plenty of places to purchase fresh-picked
produce around here.  When you walk outside at night and see the sky ablaze
with stars, you realize what a truly remarkable world we live in.  Really
helps with the attitude!

Rachel,

Do you have the 'Farmer's markets' in NY like we have here in CA? (where
farmers freight and sell their farm-grown veggies and fruits in a specially
agreed upon place/schedule) Have *entirely* stopped buying veggies/fruits
from the grocery store since the farmer's markets opened this Spring. Will
miss them in Fall/Winter though I did go down to a farm and hand-picked
berries in NJ when we were there. Is it worth the drive down the turnpike?

 There are a few studies that indicate our pre-agro ancestors
did ALL the work for eating..hunting...killing...cooking...cleaning
and eating in about 3 hours daily..that leaves alot of time
to smell the roses. 

Now...the neolithic farmers, on the other hand, spent considerable
time farming ( and tending roses! :)

I kind of have the best of both worlds.  For those who live in Portland
you know what I mean.  I live in the city but I drive a short distance
away and I am in the woods.  I always wonder why the hell I climb mountains
until I am out there and look around.  Especially when you start at midnight
for a summit climb.  The stars are just so bright.  Matter of fact that is 
where I am heading this weekend.  Hopefully I don't fall into a crevasse out
on Rainer as I am watching the stars.

Rachel, thank you very much.  Kassie, my daugter, is not severley autistic.  She 
doesn't sit in a corner rocking continuously; she is not high-functioning  either,  
her language is limited to a few words and the rare phrase.  She is four.  

The hardest thing about autism is that many kids appear to be developing normally and 
even show exceptional skills.  Kassie knew  all the letters of the alphabet by 18 
months, and would enliven Scrabble contests by looking at  the  tiles on the racks,  
and  saying exuberantly, "Got the Q", or
"Got the X" when it appeared.  Then almost overnight those skills vanish.  Some 
immediately, others evanesce, but they too fade to nothing. 

I am lucky enough to work for at a very supportive organization, and live in one of 
the best school districts in the country.  Kassie has been in a in home applied 
behavior analysis program for about a year, and speech therapy for a few months.  Her 
smiles have become much more frequent, she is one again learning, albeit slowly.  She 
will start attending a special district preschool later this month.

You have my sympathies for your struggles. And my respect for how you seem 
to be dealing with them. My husband was a hemophiliac. Just living with that 
as an adult was hard. To live with a genetic disorder in a child must be 
infinitely harder. I have an enormous respect for my mother-in-law who 
raised such a child and did not wrap him in cotton-wool, "in case he got 
hurt".

You are in CA, where you can get a much better assortment of 
non-store-bought produce than I can here in NYC, although I tend to frequent 
the greenmarkets and try to buy what is in season when I buy in stores. Even 
then, store-bought doesn't taste as good as fresh-picked. I have converted 
one person at work to never eating store-bought strawberries again, he tried 
some from the greenmarket when they were in season and was convinced.

Yes, but you have to understand that those animals, trees, and garden take
lots of work!  You have considerably less time to sit on your porch and
drink an ice cold beer!  Of course, it's just that much better when you do!


Seriously, I'm in the same boat as Dave, and the benefits greatly outweight
the disadvantages.  We have three acres with a couple of horses.  We've had
fresh tomatoes for a couple of weeks now, but we don't do the garden thing
otherwise.  However, there are plenty of places to purchase fresh-picked
produce around here.  When you walk outside at night and see the sky ablaze
with stars, you realize what a truly remarkable world we live in.  Really
helps with the attitude!

Sorry, but I don't think I could ever be a city dweller again!

This is why I have chosen to live in a rural community so that I can have a
huge garden and many fruit trees.  And for the meat eaters, you can hunt
Deer, turkey, pheasant and many other critters.  This way I know that my
produce has no chemicals and does not get picked until ripe.  I just picked
my first tomatoes yesterday.  I had lived in places like Chicago and San
Francisco but got tired of the traffic and the high cost of living.  Yes, I
make less than my counter parts from the big cities but my costs are less.
But more importanly, I live in a place where I can walk out my backdoor and
see nothing but fields and forest.  It's the greatest cure for stress!!

Rachel,

Do you have the 'Farmer's markets' in NY like we have here in CA? (where
farmers freight and sell their farm-grown veggies and fruits in a specially
agreed upon place/schedule) Have *entirely* stopped buying veggies/fruits
from the grocery store since the farmer's markets opened this Spring. Will
miss them in Fall/Winter though I did go down to a farm and hand-picked
berries in NJ when we were there. Is it worth the drive down the turnpike?

You know a good beer!  I have been on their brewery tour a few times.  My
favorite flavors are Leinenkugel's Original, Honey Weiss or their bock beer.

I could not have said it better.  Gardening is like therapy to me.  When I
do some hoeing, I just imagine the weeds as members of damagement or some of
the bad (L)users and start hacking.  It does wonders for the spirit.  Some
good beer helps, and in Wisconsin, there is plenty.  ;)

They were the farm next door when I was growing up.  Charles Hamilton
owner/operator... It was heavenly.  I worked for him for 10 years clipping
blossoms & picking berries.  It was then that I learned why you run your

Rachel,

When I worked at Rockwell in Anaheim (Southern California - sort of a
suburb of Los Angeles),
I used to drive right past a strawberry field every night on my way home
from work.  Most of the berries
would be picked and shipped to market or wherever but there was always a
small stand at the
edge of the field where you could stop and buy direct from the grower.

It was strange to find a strawberry field in the middle of the city.   That
was fifteen years ago.
I'm not sure if it's still there - what with the high price of real estate
in that area.

Anyway, the taste was just as April described it.  Warm and damp and
flavorful.  The smell alone
would make me stop.

Every summer I long for those strawberries and I've yet to find anything
close here in the Midwest.

Cherie Machler
nostalgic for a few things about Southern California - like the produce
markets

2001-08-01 Thread Daniel Curry

This past weekend I had the opportunity to ride my motorcycle through
Watsonville, in mid California.  Right on the coast, just a bit south of
Santa Cruz.  The migrant workers were 'out in force' picking the
strawberries for this weekend's festival.  A warm wind from sea on a
sunny day, mixed with the sweet-tart aroma of fresh strawberries, made
it irresistible to stop.  It is fun (and very dangerous) to eat those
strawberries on a motorcycle at 60 miles an hour.  But the basket did
not last long enough to get back into San Jose.  About 45 miles until
the last berry.

Damn it was good!

Rachel,

When I worked at Rockwell in Anaheim (Southern California - sort of a
suburb of Los Angeles),
I used to drive right past a strawberry field every night on my way home
from work.  Most of the berries
would be picked and shipped to market or wherever but there was always a
small stand at the
edge of the field where you could stop and buy direct from the grower.

It was strange to find a strawberry field in the middle of the city.
That
was fifteen years ago.
I'm not sure if it's still there - what with the high price of real
estate
in that area.

Anyway, the taste was just as April described it.  Warm and damp and
flavorful.  The smell alone
would make me stop.

Every summer I long for those strawberries and I've yet to find anything
close here in the Midwest.

markets

Suburb of LA? Orange County, California, USA is more than an appendage of our large neighbour to the north! (splashing cold water on my face to quench the steam escaping from my nostrils)

There are still strawberry fields in Orange County, as a matter of fact there's one less than 2 miles from my house. Of course, it's a little disconcerting in this part of the world to walk three blocks from a 20-story building (which, in parentheses, hosts the local Oracle sales office) and see a large agricultural field.

There are some farmers who will let you visit their farm and let you pick
some berries.  I assume you need to pay a fee. A friend of mine invited me
to go berry-picking with her passed Saturday.   I could not make it because
I had to work..  But if someone is interested there probably are some farms
like that around your area.

Here in Brisbane it is just getting into Strawberry season, We have a 
Strawberry festival  this month and you get to eat heaps of strawberries 
cheap, unless you grow your own. Brisbane's main Show(fair) called the 
Ekka, is on  as well this month and one of the favorite pastimes at the 
Ekka is eating strawberries

Might go out and get some today

Cheers

I guess thats one of the things we have going for us in little old England.
Where I live in the North East of England (Northumberland to be precise)
there are a whole host of farms where you can go and "pick your own" within
between 5 and 20 minutes drive from my house.

2001-08-02 Thread Farnsworth, Dave

Where I live we have many strawberry farms where the customer picks their
own berries.  We picked about 50 pounds and then I made some of the best
strawberry jam.  The store bought jam is not a close second to mine! (I pat
my own back)   
Picking the berries right off the vine is the best way.  They are
soo fresh, juicy and delicious!!

While you're at it, April, could you tell me where I could get about 80
pounds of those strawberries?  The frozen ones I've been using to make wine
are not quite what I have hoped they'd be.

Jaques,

I know that Orange County is an entity in it's own right but for
people in other parts of the U.S. and the world, Los Angeles
is much more of a land mark than Orange County.   That's
why I said "sort of a suburb".

Suburb of LA? Orange County, California, USA is more than an appendage of
our large neighbour to the north! (splashing cold water on my face to
quench the steam escaping from my nostrils)


There are still strawberry fields in Orange County, as a matter of fact
there's one less than 2 miles from my house. Of course, it's a little
disconcerting in this part of the world to walk three blocks from a
20-story building (which, in parentheses, hosts the local Oracle sales
office) and see a large agricultural field.

I guess thats one of the things we have going for us in little old England.
Where I live in the North East of England (Northumberland to be precise)
there are a whole host of farms where you can go and "pick your own" within
between 5 and 20 minutes drive from my house.

Where I live we have many strawberry farms where the customer picks their
own berries.  We picked about 50 pounds and then I made some of the best
strawberry jam.  The store bought jam is not a close second to mine! (I pat
my own back)   
Picking the berries right off the vine is the best way.  They are
soo fresh, juicy and delicious!!

Hi,

references to information about the coherences between your diet and

RE: OT about to peeve off the vegatarians: RE: OT RE: Largest

2001-07-31 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.

So where do I get my woolly mammoth steaks.  What was the life expectancy of early 
hominids?  I don't know about Maine Blue Berries, but wild blueberries in Nova Scotia 
are just as sweet if not sweeter than the store bought ones.  

Where in a reputable peer-reviewed journal can one find an article store bought food 
is less nutritious than wild food.  The purpose of fruit is to be eaten, the seeds 
passing through the digestive  system intact to be planted with a little fertilizer.  
The sweeter the fruit, the more animals are attracted, the greater chance of the plant 
dispersing its progeny.

As far as I can tell taste takes a second seat to looks with commercial produce.  
Produce is picked before its time so it can be transported unbruised.  It doesn't 
taste as good as the stuff off a backyard tree.


My daughter is autistic.  We have her on a cassein and gluten free diet.  It seems to 
have done her some good; her attentiveness has increased and her perserveration has 
dropped.  My wife swears it has; I lean more towards non-casual coincidence, but I 
don't want  to give her bread pudding in case I'm wrong.  You won't believe how many 
things have gluten and cassein.  Gluten is not naturally found in corn, but it's in 
corn flakes.  Most soy cheeses have cassein in them  so they melt like dairy cheeses.  
It is very difficult to keep on such a diet,  taking all  grains out of the diet would 
be harder still.

Autism is a multi-genetic disorder; i.e, more than one gene is involved.   Latest 
evidence is that the genes express themselves about  the first month of pregnancy.  In 
the future it will be detectable via amniocentesis, much like trisomy 13  is today.  
For a parent it becomes noticeable somewhere between 15 months and two years. 

So what does this have to do with cassein and gluten.  There are double-blind  studies 
which indicate some children do better  on such a diet.


I like to think the experience has made me a better person.  Before, when a 
developmentally-disabled child walked into a room I'd act like the kid was contagious.

2001-07-31 Thread Mohan, Ross

So where do I get my woolly mammoth steaks.  

||  www.texasgrassfedbeef.comwww.vermontbeef.com   www.colemanbeef.com

What was the life expectancy of early hominids?  

||  about 30-40. They died early due to infection and trauma. Not heart
disease, cancer, arthritis, 
or other autoimmune disorders. Other fitness markers (any physical
anthropologists out there?)
showed them to be remarkably fit and powerful. 

I don't know about Maine Blue Berries, but wild blueberries in Nova Scotia
are just as sweet if not sweeter than the store bought ones.  

Where in a reputable peer-reviewed journal can one find an article store
bought food is less nutritious than wild food.  The purpose of fruit is to
be eaten, the seeds passing through the digestive  system intact to be
planted with a little fertilizer.  The sweeter the fruit, the more animals
are attracted, the greater chance of the plant dispersing its progeny.

||  Fresh food is better than processed food. Enzymes are volatile, some
having labile points not much above 100F. 
Ditto for vitamins, especially water soluble ones like C. They
oxidize quickly in the presence of air. You
could do an article ( and get it reviewed and published if you like
) on the vitamin C content of fresh
squeezed juice, and juice that has been sitting out for a few hours.
You'd find *significantly* less C in
the...erstore bought juice. Oh, yea, don't forget they
pasteurize the juice by BOILING it. Great.

As far as I can tell taste takes a second seat to looks with commercial
produce.  Produce is picked before its time so it can be transported
unbruised.  It doesn't taste as good as the stuff off a backyard tree.

|| Well we certainly agree here!

My daughter is autistic.  We have her on a cassein and gluten free diet.  It
seems to have done her some good; her attentiveness has increased and her
perserveration has dropped.  My wife swears it has; I lean more towards
non-casual coincidence, but I don't want  to give her bread pudding in case

cheeses have cassein in them  so they melt like dairy cheeses.  It is very
difficult to keep on such a diet,  taking all  grains out of the diet would
be harder still.

||  Hmmm...this is a hard one. There is, of course, absolutely no need for
cow's milk (casein source), nor for wheat. In
fact, as I am sure you have heard, gluten can do "not good" things in the
body. There are people who flourish by
avoiding modern ( past several thousand years..."modern" in
genetic/evolutionary sense) agricultural products. Just
search on lectins...phytates...aflatoxins.

Autism is a multi-genetic disorder; i.e, more than one gene is involved.
Latest evidence is that the genes express themselves about  the first month
of pregnancy.  In the future it will be detectable via amniocentesis, much
like trisomy 13  is today.  For a parent it becomes noticeable somewhere
between 15 months and two years. 

So what does this have to do with cassein and gluten.  There are

I like to think the experience has made me a better person.  Before, when a
developmentally-disabled child walked into a room I'd act like the kid was
contagious.   

||  Ian, I salute you and your wife's work, your open minds, and most of
all, your love and support of your daughter. I was
presented with a healthy child for number one (slightly depressed immune
system due to veganism, i believe) and number two, 
my son is anemic. That went away went I started letting him gobble the
range-fed beef he adores. He's at 90% on the growth
chart now. I sincerely and deeply hope that you and your wife continue to
investigate all sorts of work around your daughter's autismwatch out for
vaccines, research them **VERY** carefully...check into a (very very wacky)
guy named
Aajonus Vonderplanitz...keep reading and learning.   You guys are so far
ahead of many other parents who would have been
crippled by their daughter's challenge...your work is very admirable, and I
have no doubt that it has changed you
for the better.

  that the number was incorrect.  The petabyte that was tossed around a 
  few years ago would be for online and secondary storage only.  I 
  don't know their needs for tertiary storage, but our little project here , 
  called Babar, which is expected to store half a petabyte of data in online 
  and nearline storage  is sized to 300 petabytes when tertiary storage 
  is included.  The 0.5 petabytes for online and nearline will probably 
  be upped. If LHC has the same relationship between tertiary and  
  online/nearline storage, then they will need something which can handle 
  about 600 petabytes.  Last week I attended a meeting on a project 
  called SuperBabar.  Data estimates of size  for that one are one 
  exabyte.  I'm sure there are others  in the works which will 
  make SuperBabar look tiny.  The mind boggles.
  Babar is not in Oracle and I don't expect SuperBabar will 
  be either.

Just in case there are other parents with autistic children.  The population studies 
of the MMR vaccine do not show a correlation between  the MMR vaccine and autism.I 
have heard of a paper showing a weak correlation between thimerosal and autism.  But I 
haven't been able to find it on Medscape/Medline to see what the R value/values  are.  
Thimerosol is a mercury containing compound used in vaccines to control bacteria  and 
such.   It caused a small row when someone  noticed that with all the normal 
vaccination schedule children were getting more mercury than is considered safe.  
Mercury free vaccines are  available for everything but DTAP.  However, it was decided 
that old stocks of thimerisol containing vaccines could be used before going to the 
new.


There are lots of studies being done on mercury chelation and autism.  The prime one 
at Louisiana State.   I am dubious that a connection will be found.  After all the 
best evidence  and present is that it is genetic.  It  riles me though that mercury 
was ever allowed in vaccines in the first place.

There are lots of desparate parents of autistic children who fall prey to quacks.  
I've heard lectures which start out with,  "Gluten intolerance is very common thought 
seldom tested for".  If testing for it is rare then how can one say it is very common. 
  We went to a nutrtionist, an M.D., I found his name on one of the more reputable 
autism lists.  He talked about using accupressure to cure allergies.  We left his 
office toute suite.  But I did pick up the book, "Winning The War Against Immune 
Disorders and Allegies" by Ellen W. Cutler.  The idea is that if a person holds a 
piece of food to which they are allergic and stretches out their arm, the amount of 
strenght in that arm will be diminished.  For an infant,  the infant takes holds the 
food, the parent holds the child's other hand and stretches out the other arm.  Again  
the amount of strength in the arm is diminished if the child is holding  a food to 
which it is allergic.  My personal highlight  was the story of a man said to
be allergic to his own saliva.   One of the instructions was for him to avoid contact 
with his own saliva for a number of days.  Apparently it was okay in his mouth, but 
itegumental contact would have ruined everything.



I don't know how you would tell if  someone died of heart failure from a fossil.  One 
of the problems is that the cavemen and cavewomen didn't live long enough for some of 
the "modern" diseases to afflict them.

So where do I get my woolly mammoth steaks.  

||  www.texasgrassfedbeef.comwww.vermontbeef.com   www.colemanbeef.com

What was the life expectancy of early hominids?  

||  about 30-40. They died early due to infection and trauma. Not heart
disease, cancer, arthritis, 
or other autoimmune disorders. Other fitness markers (any physical
anthropologists out there?)
showed them to be remarkably fit and powerful. 

I don't know about Maine Blue Berries, but wild blueberries in Nova Scotia
are just as sweet if not sweeter than the store bought ones.  

Where in a reputable peer-reviewed journal can one find an article store
bought food is less nutritious than wild food.  The purpose of fruit is to
be eaten, the seeds passing through the digestive  system intact to be
planted with a little fertilizer.  The sweeter the fruit, the more animals
are attracted, the greater chance of the plant dispersing its progeny.

||  Fresh food is better than processed food. Enzymes are volatile, some
having labile points not much above 100F. 
Ditto for vitamins, especially water soluble ones like C. They
oxidize quickly in the presence of air. You
could do an article ( and get it reviewed and published if you like
) on the vitamin C content of fresh
squeezed juice, and juice that has been sitting out for a few hours.
You'd find *significantly* less C in
the...erstore bought juice. Oh, yea, don't forget they
pasteurize the juice by BOILING it. Great.

As far as I can tell taste takes a second seat to looks with commercial
produce.  Produce is picked before its time so it can be transported
unbruised.  It doesn't taste as good as the stuff off a backyard tree.

My daughter is autistic.  We have her on a cassein and gluten free diet.  It

Ian,

You have my sympathies for your struggles. And my respect for how you seem 
to be dealing with them. My husband was a hemophiliac. Just living with that 
as an adult was hard. To live with a genetic disorder in a child must be 
infinitely harder. I have an enormous respect for my mother-in-law who 
raised such a child and did not wrap him in cotton-wool, "in case he got 
hurt".

You are in CA, where you can get a much better assortment of 
non-store-bought produce than I can here in NYC, although I tend to frequent 
the greenmarkets and try to buy what is in season when I buy in stores. Even 
then, store-bought doesn't taste as good as fresh-picked. I have converted 
one person at work to never eating store-bought strawberries again, he tried 
some from the greenmarket when they were in season and was convinced.

Rachel,

Do you have the 'Farmer's markets' in NY like we have here in CA? (where
farmers freight and sell their farm-grown veggies and fruits in a specially
agreed upon place/schedule) Have *entirely* stopped buying veggies/fruits
from the grocery store since the farmer's markets opened this Spring. Will
miss them in Fall/Winter though I did go down to a farm and hand-picked
berries in NJ when we were there. Is it worth the drive down the turnpike?

John,

Greenmarket=Farmer's market. We have several all over the city, I love the 
neighborhood we moved our offices to not just because it is a fun, funky 
area to explore but because the best of the markets is within walking 
distance and is there M, W, F and Sat.

I haven't gone and hand-picked fruits/veggies, although we do have
pick your own places out East on the Island. I have gone to the farms on 
occasion and bought fresh from them.

I remember one year coming to IOUW and going to the market down in the 
Embarcadero -- and being AMAZED that there were that many kinds of tomatos!
