Kind of agree Theodog....but who determines what is science.......maybe then it should have read 'alternative medicine'....but.....and there is always a but........when you mention unreliable in supply.......that depends.........my grandfather was a professional market gardner back in Holland........and I mean, he had approx 200 acres and greenhouses of most vegetables and only used cow and horse manure to feed all the vegetables.....non of this other rubbish
And I mean, he grew everything........our vegies tasted better, grew much larger and believe it or not, laster longer both in the fridge or on the shelf....
He always use to tell me (and bless his soul) that it all came down to picking it at the right time..........these days, everything is picked 6 months before it needs to be picked and then thrown in fridges and transported to large freezers for further storage........usually around 6 - 10months later it hits our supermarket freezers..........for this reason we now only buy through the local produce market..........much tastier, cheaper etc etc
On this subject, I ask you to pay special attention to the U.S which is about to introduce a new law. Yes, thats right, a law which will control and outlaw organic farming and home gardens !!! The bill is dreadful......introduced by a chairman on the Mosanto board. Check it out for yourself HR 875.............we will be forced to spray pesticides and use special equipment to comply to the code and a licence costing over $1M US......it will be illegal to grow your own veggies for private consumption............incredible.. ........
