So what's the big deal with kosher salt? Just that it was mined by
circumcised men?

It does have some mystical properties. It's a fossil seasoning from
Earth's past that saw the coming of and the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Fossil salt will probably see the extinction of man and perhaps it will
be used by whatever species that comes after us to season their food at
their table.

You won't find it in my kitchen because the bag of salt that I bought
had hard, insoluble, quartz-like, particles in the mix. I suppose I
could have dissolved the salt in water and evaporated the water out but
that seems kinda pointless.

You can buy it in any form, what I buy has the same consistency of
normal table salt. Only practical difference usage-wise is it doesn't
contain anti-caking agents, so I have to shake the jar/shaker before
using. It tastes so much better than normal table salt.

So's the ordinary Morton table salt that I get at the grocery
store. Or perhaps the spiritual qualities were removed when
they cleaned all of the dirt out of it.

It ought to There's a lot of Earth's history locked in those crystals.
Unlike most seasonings, it contains no atoms connected with mankind. The
air we breathe contains molecules that Jesus once breathed. Fossil salt,
however, contains no molecules of our species. It's rather unique in
that regard.

Which American wants to consume molecules that Jesus never breathed?

It helps when they are raised by a mother that teaches them to hunt. I
have seen cats do that. We had a section of sidewalk to our front door
that has stone wall on both sides. Our cat had captured a mouse and
brought it there along with the kittens and gave them each a chance to
attack it while she stood back to prevent its escape.

I have contemplated putting a spy camera in here to see just what she
gets up to, could move it room to room.

Maybe such molecules can be bought on eBay?
Might be a golden opportunity going begging there. Could also sell
some 'jesus' toast, corn flakes and anything else he's appeared on.

Thank you, Cheri! When Persia was alive I had a mesh kitty enclosure
and I'd let her go outside in that. She wasn't killing birds, not even
when the small sparrows hopped through the mesh and got right in with
her. She looked at them like they were oddities.

Toys (and owner interaction) provide plenty of physical stimulation.
The owners need to take time to play with the cat. Domestic cats don't
need to kill things to be happy.

Again, I think it's a cultural difference. I wouldn't dream of letting
my cat outide.

Occasionally where I live there are people asking for help finding their
lost cat. Well, if you didn't let it out you'd know where it was,
wouldn't you? I simply don't understand it.

Is that so hard to understand? It's talking with an American accent,
using typically American words.

I wouldn't mind doing that myself, to see what my two get up to when
I'm not home. I do know they spend much of that time sleeping on my
bed though, particularly Annie.

"Gluten free, low carb, breathed by Jesus." Sounds like a winner.

This one doesn't care whether I breathe the same molecules
as Jesus (if he ever existed, anyway).

You know those goats that are used to clear hillsides of weeds? They
need to be raised by a mother who eats weeds or the goat babies will
never learn to eat weeds.

Yep. Throw 'artisan' in there too, that's gotta be good for doubling

There are probably a lot - commies and Nazi skin-head freaks for one!

I like that idea. I'd like my DNA stuffed in plant genes and cast
throughout the planet. That would be cool.

We don't need to buy no stinkin' product on eBay. Jesus molecules are
free for all of mankind to enjoy. It's probably the reason we enjoy
breathing so much.

Well, is it that *you* like the idea - or is it that your genes are
influencing your opinion? Truth is, we are nothing more than vessels
designed to carry and spread our genes.

>I'd like my DNA stuffed in plant genes and cast throughout the planet. That would be cool.

I must say, the idea of a GMO Hawaiian cantaloupe posting to RFC is
intriguing... I guess that also means vegans would have to reevaluate
their crazy POV too.

Humans already share half of their genome with the banana.

I have never lived in an urban or built-up area. Even when I was still
in west Tennessee I lived as far away from the "city" (Memphis) as
possible. There was still traffic on the neighborhood streets, people
who let dogs run loose, etc. Just not a good environment for cats to be
running around outside. And really, it's not necessary in order for
them to be happy. It's much healthier for them to stay inside.

Unlike most food.

That doesn't sound like something the religious oligarchs would
approve of. A free Jesus? Nah.

Answer the questions I posed to you, you intellectual coward.
Or are you just going to run anyway from them, like you always have in
the past?

The "Black Death" aka Bubonic plague was spread by fleas carried by rats
in the 14th century or thereabouts. Do you have rats and fleas in your
house?! What a ridiculous argument.

Well, a section of DNA from the ringworm virus was transplanted into the
gene of papaya. This made the fruit resistant to the virus and saved the
Hawaiian papaya industry. As an added bonus, it's damn tasty! My guess
is that we'll be seeing celebrity gene-splicing in agricultural products
selling for a premium. Brad Pitted Olives, anyone?

I can't think of any food that would not contain atoms that were once
part of humans at some time.

Molecules and atoms don't need any approval to do their thing.
