as far as i know, ever since mad cow disease the agriculture of europe has been in decline. the only way to really eat healthy now is to farm or deal direct with farmers.

it's so mad it makes me mad about being stuck here on this island without any way to raise my own. hell, just a nice big chicken coop would do, and grow a bunch of stuff that chickens eat and that attract bugs and voila, eggs and meat, most of the year, and if kept cool, and unwashed, chicken eggs can last about 6 months. so if you produce enough you can just dole them out to neighbours as well in exchange for stuff. the difficult part for me is getting the space to do it. i probably could do it here, but i don't really feel up to negotiating with the landlord about it. he'd have to stop damn well poisoning the plants all around my place for a start. i'd need to go out there, and plant suitable chickenfeed plants and harvest them up and throw into the enclosure.

but i am currently unemployed and no idea when i'm gonna get that sorted out, so >_< i hate this bankster world
