I'm glad you put quotes around "life" in that sentence. Do, please, define what this new kind of "life" is that falls outside the normal one that includes metabolizing, growing and reproducing. What kind of "life" does a rib roast have? What is "dead" food?

It appears as though you're saying that whatever we eat has to be contaminated with microbes of some sort. Everything we eat is. What are you talking about here with this "live" and "dead" food?

You don't need fresh food to avoid scurvy. You just need a source of vitamin C, and that source need not be fresh food. In those olden times, somebody figured out that eating limes would prevent scurvy. This is why British sailors are sometimes referred to as "limeys." Only later it was discovered that the reason limes worked was the vitamin C. >There was at least one early polar expedition that tried to survive >on 'canned' food which resulted in the death of a number of the >people involved, which was odd because the native guides & porters, >familiar with the environment, survived by eating raw fish and >whale blubber which the European explorers would not do. Their >food was nutritionally "dead" and so were they not too much later. Wrong. One can survive just fine on canned foods. That polar expedition died from lead poisoning. Those who didn't eat the canned food didn't get poisoned. It had nothing to do with the food being "dead." Canning was a new thing then, the seams were sealed together with lead, and nobody knew the dangers then. The logs and diaries that were found revealed that everyone simply went mad and forgot how to survive. -A |

Some animal flesh is cooked live, some even like to eat raw uncooked freshly slaughtered animal flesh, however, what i meant was 'nutritionally' dead. Vegetable matter loses its nutritional qualities very quickly animal flesh takes a little longer and can be preserved better. Most commercially processed vegetable matter is rendered nutritionally 'dead' and then infused with some vitamins and minerals after its cooking. Home preserving of fruits and veggies is not quite as bad as commercial but you could not live solely on preserved fruits and veggies. --- JL > > > Cheers! > -- > Om. > > "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack > Nicholson |

The 'c rations' and 'astronaut' foods are processed and then have added nutriants combined to make them life supporting. Same with any canned food you buy in a market. But even then, a steady diet of canned foods without any fresh veggies or meats or grains would result in a slow deterioration of health. --- JL |

Having done the tissue culture thing in the lab, it's definitely weird to see a dish full of heart muscle cells start beating when the right fluid is added! The vision of 'stretching' the meat sheets to give them texture is funny too. |

This is just another example of man's silly attempt at (poorly) re-inventing natures' wheel. Look, the good lord (or mother nature, or evolution, or fate, you pick your philosophy) placed us on this world of abundance so that we could partake in that very abundance and be healthy and hearty doing so. And that, as far as the human species go, most definitely includes eating meat which involves raising or hunting, butchering and eating animals. We all need to simply accept that reality and deal with it. Just think of those luscious chicken wings or those baby back ribs swimming in BBQ sauce. We are meat eaters. TC |

Morality and justice are relative to circumstances. Always have been; always will be. There are no absolutes. |

Morality or justice has nothing to do with the survival of a species by feeding directly off another species. That is the reality of this world and our position within the biological matrix. > > > that, as far as the human species go, most definitely includes eating > > meat which involves raising or hunting, butchering and eating animals. > > We all need to simply accept that reality and deal with it. > > Those of us who walk on two legs are concerned not only with emulating what > others are doing, but also with questions of morality and justice. We are not emulating anyone or anything. That is the nature of our dependence on and survival in the natural world. Morality and justice aren't even on the table when it comes to the basic survival and the health of our progeny, which depend directly on a primarily animal-based diet. Morality and justice do not apply between inter-species survival. When a lion, a bear or maggots attacks and/or consumes a human, we cannot infer any morality or justice to the act because they are simply following natures plan of survival therefore how can we infer any morality or justice to a human who raises or hunts, kills and consumes a pig, deer, chicken or other species of animal. We are simply following natures plan. (or the evolutionary plan, or god's plan, again pick your own philosophy) TC > > Cheers, > -- > Donovan Rebbechi > http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/ |

I use a product called "real salt" that is a sort of raw salt heavy in trace minerals, and I LOVE the three color pepper! It's all I use. :-) I recently switched to Grapeseed oil tho' for frying steaks as I can get the oil hotter without smoking up the house. Olive oil tho' is what I use for nearly all other cooking. > > Else, dusted with Chipotle, cumin, garlic, cilantro, and mexican > oregano, pre searing. Ooh that sounds good! I have a live Mexican Oregano plant in the herb garden! It blooms all year long and I prefer to use the flowers over the leaves. Slightly milder flavor. > > Or with a generous chunk of maitre d'hotel butter. > > Few cuts beat the Rib Eye, rare. No doubt. Indeedy! ;-d Serve with a good Merlot. > > -Hollywood, who is having one tonight, with my Chili Fixin Butter Cheers! > -- Om.

Guess I should have posted separately instead of cross-posting? Aplogies then if I ticked anyone here off by doing that! Cheers! -- Om.
