This is seriously one of the most uninteresting videos I have ever watched.
-
the way he describes permaculture is not permaculture lol! permaculture does not cater for grass ;)
-
I love this talk. I love the whole concept that we are all just pawns in nature's grand scheme! Nobody is in control! NOBODY!!! Ha ha ha ha ha! (that is meant to be an evil laugh) :-)
-
great ideas.
and here I was thinking our first step should be to outlaw the untested additives that other countries reject.

Fungi are capable of doing this too; the fungus that leafcutter ants farm is not found outside leafcutter ant nests. That sounds like the fungus is in control. It's been speculated that yeast (a microfungus) controlled much of human agriculture along with grains :D

cannabis is the strongest plant!! the king of the jungle. It has learned how to survive by letting us like it.. in fact: the whole wide world loves it.
don't abuse the medicine.. peace love and respect!!

What if the apple blossom just wants to make the bee happy in gratitude for the pollination that happens as the bee gathers it's own food source? The bee was going to eat anyway - the apple blossom shows gratitude and because the hungry bee appreciates that gratitude, a strong bond of loving friendship - a relationship - is built between them based upon love and mutual support. What about that, Michael? :D
-
Ethanol is usefull dude! Can't make my tinctures without ethanol lol.

No, that the chickens get the food that they have evolved to eat. In factory farming most of the chickens can't even walk because they are fed a diet that causes their bodies to grow so fast their legs can't hold them up.
-
Probably because he's Ray Kroc.
-
so how is this different from factory farming? that the chickens might be allowed out into a field occasionally?
-
Michael Pollan is changing my life now, the way that Eric Schlosser changed it 12 years ago with Fast Food Nation. :)
-
Sorry that fact your cat has health insurance, is because it's more about you than the cat. You know that you are likely will have the critter treated if ever need be, and are covering your butt financially. Not that I'm saying that's wrong.
-
I believe Darwin did come to use the term survival of the fittest later on. Not to replace natural, but as a modifying factor selection

Most likely a transcript at 1triple-w dot ted dot com
