worth a thread on its own Veg?

that professor pointed out a couple of interesting concepts

- that kids with symptoms of diabetes lost the symptoms after 2 weeks of foraging on native food

- that whole rows of supermarket shelves are stocked with ‘food’ our grandparents wouldn’t recognise – and which probably are chemical taste tricks not food at all.

We thought that was a really excellent story on 60 mins, we got a sore neck from nodding through it all tho’, its so true that when times get tough, gardens get put in every where there is 1/2 inch of soil to call your own. And every thing gets re-cycled into plant pots. And i went to Coles Saturday, and while i was there, my hubby calls me over to the veg’ isle in that loud people attracting voice, that some hubbies get when they are about to be proven right, and sais loudly, “My God, call this an eggplant, our eggplant piss all over this, its only 1/2 the size, and why is this one all dry and wrinkly? What’s that? THAT’s a zuchinni? But its only tiny, why do they pick them so small?!” and other attention grabbing comments. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cos i doubt he ever saw an eggplant let alone ate one befor he met me, or cry ‘cos the veg person was fairly upset at the critisism. So i shook my head and said “Yes Dear, we need bread.”
Has anyone else noticed how small and sad the shop veg is lately,$7.00 a kilo for eggplant, wow! I am ever so glad we put in the vegi patch!!!

I rarely watch 60 minutes, but decided to give it a go last night just to see Pete. There were some interesting points, as pepe pointed out…the reduction in the symptons of the young aboriginal diabetics in particular… but obviously your average ‘Joe Blow’ isn’t going to be able to forage in the top end, but the principle of actively working for your food and knowing exactly where it comes from is great.

The best part for me was seeing Liz Hayes in her designer clothes getting in the mud and not going “yuk”…on camera at least.got a bit of a chuckle out of that. I also got a bit of a laugh seeing Liz Hayes at the school having lunch from food grown and cooked by the kids….didn’t GA do virtually the same story last year?

Although I think it was great seeing that lady who had the garden in suburbia with 150 varieties of edible crops, I think that might be a bit like Michelle Obama white house garden…setting people up for failure if they feel they have to try to reproduce something on that scale.

But as we said before if it encourages people to have a go and plant a few things and they do that successfully well then they might become addicted like the rest and that can only be for the good.
