• I don’t have much to say about this… but, I’m from the southwest US where there is plenty of land… but sometimes not enough water. I now live in greatly populated Northern Virginia (greater DC) where there are tons of people, yes even water restrict…

• You can edit your title. I haven’t had a problem with sprouted baby green lentils. Were they bitter to you? What did you like?

• Still haven’t read the GOV doc… but, I read this yesterday on the Wall Street Journal: Some Suburban Neighbors become Farmers Apparently, with one eighth of an acre and $5,500 start-up, “one can generate $10,000 to $20,000 in annual sales”! 1/8 of a…

• Do you have a link to a .gov (government) website that state they will do this? I was looking for the doc in regulations.gov… BUT, the SEARCH method suggested doesn’t seem to apply… The website is different. I searched for that doc, but the search b…

• Oh no. Well, I hope small farmers can be exempt… or that they can still sell living food. (just like that can after California Almond Board’s mandatory sterilization of almonds… you can still get them raw, dormant, direct from the farm)

• Cooked and raw together can lead to gas? Wow, that is new to me. I guess that could be true because raw digests faster than cooked (I assume)... and thus, the digested salad sits there with the cooked food while the cooked food is being digested. Wh…

• That makes sense! Thanks M@tt. I didn’t have enough lemons to ‘clean’ and wanted to use the limes I do have… without having to experiment and clean twice. :o)

• Good question southernlover. I do not know the answer. But, I agree with angie… the rebounder is advertised for ‘getting your lymphatic system moving’... so that could be it.

• lymph nodes are all over… your lymphatic system is throughout your body. Lymph is largely blood plasma… and has white blood cells. No red blood cells or platelets present. Like your blood pumps through your body… you lymphatic system should flow… th…

• I heard Dr. Neil Nedley talk about skin cancer (briefly). If I remember correctly, it has something to do with the sun “reacting” with animal protein-or-something on the skin which may increase one chances of skin cancer.

• leaflowers2, That is because vinegar is an amylase (enzyme) inhibitor. Amylase breaks down starch/carbs. Which (to some extent) defeats the purpose of keeping the strawberry ‘raw’. You remove enzyme inhibitors from nuts/seeds to digest them better a…

• Hmmm, I never thought to wonder what would happen to the air we breath when we burn GMO corn! eek Does anyone know… or have read somewhere about the effects?

  in Corn Comment by germin8
• I really have not kept up with this… but, my guess is… since corn cross pollinates so easily with other corn plants miles away, that could probably be a field with GMO corn… not to mention Monsanto’s franken-corn… then, it’s okay with me if they use…

• Sorrel? I had a sorrel drink… it was supposed to be high in iron or something. It tastes like some kind of prune juice… except worse. Is this the same sorrel?

• I got some ‘wild edible’ flashcards (someone mentioned them on another post). I haven’t eaten wilds… just learning about them. WLIR posted about someone who leads hikes about wild edibles… but I can’t find the post.

• 4 Days… well, according to Boutenko’s Greens For Life talk. We’ve done it before… I drink mine at day 3. It was fine. I think my husband drank one at day 5. It does oxidize the longer you wait… so you lose nutrients.
