I AN OLD MAN

a) should we try and make a program like this with our friends on our roof

b) regarding more nutrient rich foods, this is why we need to get the sea nutrients for fertilizer.

c) this is why super foods have become so big. eat less, be more. your body looks for nutrients to replenish it’s resources… however long it takes. That is is ultimate benefit, mentally from a juice feast. Also wild foods. STAMINA. Ingest the wild power of bacteria and weeds and you will become stronger.

The funny thing is, Michael Phelps does win gold medals. Sort of a “fuck you to the old man.” I am the old man.

No ones body is the same. But hell, those foods aren’t making him any more of a selfless, grateful person either. Or so it seems.

I just came across this cool article in Good Magazine about this charter school in New York with a "green roof."

Students could learn green trades, learn about small-scale food production (skills they could then transfer to their neighborhood's community gardens), learn about chemistry, biology and ecology by studying the environment created by the plants, build economic and business skills by selling their wares, and gain some of the much-needed outdoor space in some of the city's most economically depressed areas.

It is really interesting to think of not needing the huge amount of food if you are eating food that has more nutrients. I mean, it makes total sense. It is like your uncle’s huge dog that eats much less of the organic dog food than the old stuff. But he is still a healthy, even healthier dog. This comes back to the concept of food as fuel. You get better mileage off of more nutrient enriched foods. Maybe this is in part why they can sell organic foods for so much more money.
