Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

Not Food Security, but insecure food.

I live in America, where our farming subsidies have our farmers throwing food out because it is so abundant. The Mollic soil profile of the American Midwest will keep Americans and alot of the world fed during the coming food shortage. It is my firm belief that in the years to come we will still be eating comfortably. The biggest food emergency here is of a different kind. When you look at poor people from any other country they are usually emaciated, carrying a few infections, and desperate for a meal. In America our poor are forced to eat fast food. The poor of America are fat, fat beyond some peoples wildest dreams. The most imminent food security problem here, is going to be the mass die off of obese individuals. The problem is that fast food is tasty, cheap, and requires no preperation. But I refuse to eat that vile puke. However poverty stricken Americans, who many times are employed by these fast food joints, eat it daily. How can we provide a healthy, desireable, alternative to these fast food places? My idea is that we have stricter FDA regulations on what we can feed our citizens. But this is America and you have the freedom to destroy yourself as long as the government gets taxes from it. So really the solution to this problem is education, we need to let people know McDonalds is going to kill them.

We're all gonna die anyway. :-)

The thing is that what we eat isn't an intellectual decision that more information will change. Eating, these days anyway, is about medicating oneself. It's about trying to calm the overwhelming stress that we are made to deal with while also having to pretend that everything is "OK". Food is a drug to most US Americans. If you want people to not feel the need for those drugs, you have to work on understanding the cause of the stress. Alleviate the stress, then flood the market with real, healthy, wh***, living food, and then see what happens...

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

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.
