Re: A little more about grain

[Guest guest]

wow, that article is incredible! brilliant writing style and

brilliant content! thanks Allan!

I learned a new word, " biome " , in there that could be very useful.

" The globe has a limited stock of temperate grasslands, just as it

has a limited stock of all other biomes. "

This is a great factoid for promoting our NT whole foods philosophy:

" The grinding, milling, wetting, drying, and baking of a breakfast

cereal requires about four calories of energy for every calorie of

food energy it produces. A twopound bag of breakfast cereal bums the

energy of a half-gallon of gasoline in its making. All together the

food-processing industry in the United States uses about ten calories

of fossil-fuel energy for every calorie of food energy it produces. "

The author's discussion of meat-eating at the end is brilliant.

I hope everyone reads this one through carefully, and I'll definitely

be reading the author's new book.
