A crash course in changing the world.

Everybody hopes for the best of the best in the future, so what I"m planning for my meals is going to be showing one of the best possible scenarios.
In 2020 food is much different from the food we eat today. Everything has changed including who we eat it with, what we are eating, and even where we are eating it. Over the years communities have down scaled from mega mansions, and the typical street has evolved into more and more apartment buildings. All LEED certified these apartments gather their main energy from solar panels and small windmills on the top of the roofs. Natural light seeps in through many areas, and rain barrels and rain gardens surround areas where houses are put on a slant.
The food in front of you isn't like it is today. It hasn't taken a five hundred mile trip to reach your supermarket, which is also a huge company with hundreds of locations all across the world. In fact your food didn't even come from farther away then ten miles. The majority of food you buy is locally grown from dairy farms and meat producing farms. There is a crop rotation cycle where animals live on the land for a particular amount of time and then plants are grown, to fill the ground with much needed nutrients from the manure produced by animals. Vertical farming is becoming more and more popular, in fact when just walking down town you see at least five or six building dedicated to producing your town with organic food. Fertilizer was a thing of the past, and family owned farms are thriving. Every person does their share, and community gardens are used frequently.
The actual dish you have hasn't changed much over the ten years, but a few things have been tweaked. When deaths coming from heart problems sky rocketed officials were worried. When they saw it was an extremely young generation that had started the massive intake of high fructose corn syrup and a higher calorie rate they knew something had to be done. In 2020 high fructose corn syrup is still present, but not so abundant. Food that was once prosecessed at a plant and sealed in airtight packages is produced with real ingridents in smaller factories and by people not machines. Food is more simple, and we have learned to scale down the amount of food we eat. Problems like obesity are still there but not as large, and slowly but surely the world is becoming a healthier place.




Where are you? Who are you eating with? Where did your food come from? How did you get it? Who prepared it? What is the dish called? What does it taste like?

I really like this post because of its optimism (my prediction was of doom and gloom). Even so, what things would have to happen for us to get to this state? What do you think might happen that would awaken us about our current condition?

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
