I love the Soil & Health library. http://www.soilandhealth.org/

Although it doesn't focus exclusively on plant brix like this newsgroup

does, the careful reader can use the

materials there to weave an unbreakable link between higher plant

quality

and superior animal health.

 

Those who have studied " brix=quality " know that the fully spelled out

equation is (higher) brix = (superior) health. Recently I was reading

one

of the meat-eating sites and noticed yet another raving commentator make

the tired old claim that it is impossible to survive without flesh

consumption. As proof of his wisdom he dragged out the smelly old

carcass

of " beyondveg.com " and its claims that vegetarianism is impossible.

 

I really wish some of those posters, and the Billings crowd, would go

learn something about farming. I suppose I could grab them by the ear

and

rub their noses in in, but they still wouldn't notice that as the

QUALITY

OF AN ANIMAL'S FEED DECREASES, MORE SUPPLEMENTS HAVE TO BE BROUGHT IN TO

KEEP THE ANIMAL HEALTHY. Over and over I watch the twits of farming

babble " protein " when they talk purchased supplements, but they never do

enough homework to really understand what they are saying.

 

The obverse side of the above coin is that AS THE QUALITY OF AN ANIMAL'S

FEED INCREASES, THE NEED FOR SUPPLEMENTS DECREASES. Move in the

direction of higher quality and grass-eating animals no longer need any

supplements

whatsover. Move in the right direction and meat-eating animals no

longer

have the need for vitamin supplements like they give killer whales in

captivity.

 

Think of meat as a supplement for us humans. Meat eaters don't get

enough

high brix (quality) plant materials in their digestive system to keep

the

body healthy, so they use supplements in the form of meat and animal

products. Of course it doesn't work long-term. The extra acids

generated

by the animal products cause a further loss of essential minerals. You

don't believe me? OK, check out that China study and try to find a case

of osteoporosis. There ain't any.

 

I'm periously close to entering the rant state. When I talk to people

and

try to explain the old farmer's saying, " You can starve a horse to death

quicker by feeding him straw than by feeding him nothing at all, " I get

nothing but " HUH? " How can people not see that the world's digestive

system is full of nutrient-lacking straw? How can they not make the

connection? How can they read Price's Nutrition and Physical

Degeneration

and not see that they are starving their children? How can they read

Pottenger and not see they are creating a nation of androgynous people

who

will soon enough be extinct?

 

Brix is a way to identify superior food loaded with abundant nutrition.

A

refractometer is your tool to get more health-giving food on your table.

Ignore all the nutri-babble and let that simple little instrument

re-teach

you what your tongue knew all along. Hell, your children silently know

you've loaded the table (and them) with fat-generating garbage. At

dinner

each night read aloud at least a page or two from Solomon's Soil &

Health

library. Then give them some high-brix green beans and start a

revolution.

Thank you Norm,

 

here is from one of books in Soil & Health library:

 

The Future Of Life Extension

I beg the readers indulgence for a bit of futurology about what things may

look like if the life extension movement continues to develop.

Right now, a full vitamin and vitamin-like substance life extension program

costs between $50 and $100 dollars per month. However, pharmaceutical

researchers occasionally notice that drugs meant to treat and cure diseases,

when tested on lab animals for safety, make these animals live quite a bit

longer and function better. Though the FDA doesn't allow any word of this to be

printed in official prescribing data, the word does get around to other

researchers, to gerontologists and eventually to that part of the public that is

eagerly looking for longer life. Today there are numerous people who routinely

take prescription medicines meant to cure a disease they do not have and plan to

take those medicines for the rest of their long, long life.

These drugs being patented, the tariff gets a lot steeper compared to taking

vitamins. (Since they are naturally-occurring substances, vitamins can't be

patented and therefore, aren't big-profit items. Perhaps that's one reason the

FDA is so covertly opposed to vitamins.) Right now it would be quite possible to

spend many hundred dollars per month on a life extension program that included

most of these potentially beneficent prescription drugs.

As more of life-extending substances are discovered, the cost of

participating in a maximally effective life extension program will escalate.

However, those who can afford chemically enhanced functioning will enjoy certain

side-benefits. Their productive, enjoyable life spans may measure well over a

century, perhaps approaching two centuries or more. Some of these substances

greatly improve intelligence so they will become brighter and have faster

reaction times. With more time to accumulate more wisdom and experience than

" short livers " these folks will become wiser, too. They will have more time to

compound their investment assets and thus will become far more wealthy. They

will become an obvious and recognizable aristocracy. This new upper class will

immediately recognize each other on the street because they will look entirely

different than the short-lived poorer folk and will probably run the political

economic system.

And this new aristocratic society I see coming may be far more pleasant than

the one dominated by the oligarchy we now have covertly running things. For with

greater age and experience does really come greater wisdom. I have long felt

that the biggest problem with Earth is that we did not live long enough. As

George Bernard Shaw quipped when he was 90 (he lived to 96), " here I am, 90

years old, just getting out of my adolescence and getting some sense, and my

body is falling apart as fast as it can. "
