Noooooooo they lovingly gather the seed grain and keep it hidden and safe in a jar out back behind their quaint little Kinkade cottage and then they sow it by hand with their heads bared out of piety

therattle posted:Totally agree with this. The way in which it screws farmers, prevents them from storing or reusing seed (making them buy them and go into debt), leads to monoculture (which has various ecological and disease-resistance implications), etc, is terrifying and bad news for all of us (unless you're a Monsanto or Big Ag stooge). Yeah, no commercial farmers who are buying GMO seeds store seeds from previous crops. And farmers using GMO crops with stuff like Bt in them are advised to keep a reservoir of regular plants so that there's still a place for regular bugs to live, preventing the resistant ones from taking over. Now, if you want to get into issues with corporate bullshit and monoculture as well as issues with overusing things like RoundUp since you have RoundUp Ready crops, we can totally do that. But GMO plants in and of themselves are generally not that much of an issue and can actually help a lot of people, like with Golden Rice or Bt cotton in India. e: I should add that the people who are going to reuse seeds - like poor subsistence farmers or people cultivating heirloom varieties - are not going to be able to afford or want to buy GMO seeds so it's not really an issue.

I am exactly eighty-four percent certain that once upon a time there was an rear end in a top hat preachy Astralopithecus who kept telling the others that crushing the femurs of carrion and eating the fatty marrow wasn't a natural diet and immoral and he had had all kinds of problems with digestion and feeling bloated and depressed before he adopted the Cambrium diet instead and just lapped up stinky algae from the shores of Lake Victoria and then he died and nobody gave a gently caress or maybe they just ate him too.

But other people have, so its all good! Everybody fucks the farmers!

Bob Morales posted:Whats a taterseed look like Little chunks of potato as each eye that forms from the tuber becomes a viable seed. Seeds technically not the correct term, but we call them seed potatoes. Nomenclature aside, we re-use what we plant - that being said, regulations mean we have to have specific fields for the seed potatoes, they have to be treated a certain way, stored a certain way, etc. So come spring we hire people and have a big machine that cuts the potatoes into lots of little chunks that get delightfully dusted with a fungicide than planted in the ground. Huzzah nature!

The words my niece and nephew use to describe things they like and don't like are the same ones that my sister uses to describe her own prejudices. The one that really irks me is their so called MSG sensitivity.

Not all of us. Fake allergies make me punchy. That said my whitebread family loves ethnic stuff, but I think the Irish were selected for people that would eat things besides potatoes in the last century.

The most recent time was when a friend of mine eating a pork and fish plate used his fork he'd been using to eat fish to pass some pork to me to try, and I spent the next hour trying not to desperately scratch the inside of my own mouth.

I'm one of those poor stupid bastards who can't enjoy cilantro because of the taste of it. Soapy is probably the closest descriptor I can put to it. I mean, I can also taste the grassy, kind of peppery notes, but they are just overshadowed by the soapy flavor. And for me, it's really kind of less soap and just more alkaline, kind of like if you put too much baking soda in something.

Is there a good recipe that showcases the cilantro taste? I tried putting some dried cilantro on my tongue, but I swear that I don't taste anything at all. I want to try to make something with it, but I've been on a losing streak recently with my food experiments. I don't think I'd taste it over the other herbs in the recipes I've found so far. fake edit: The cilantro lemon shrimp with linguine on this page looks promising.

Using dried cilantro is your first mistake, son. Get yourself some fresh leafy stuff and heap it on a taco. e: A real taco.

I'll try that out first. If it tastes like soap to me, I wouldn't ruin the whole batch that way, either. I'll be sure to keep the folds to a minimum.

Fresh coriander gets a lot more aromatic if you let it freshen up in a bowl of cold water after you bring it in the house.

Also, for anyone trying it for the first time and/or experimenting, this step (along with a vigorous washing) will help you avoid the mistake I did the first time I bought a bunch of fresh cilantro and used it without washing. Those were the grittiest, sandiest tacos I ever had.

Those were the grittiest, sandiest tacos I ever had. I learned to do this the same way when I tried dandelion greens about a month or two ago. After that, I decided anything green and leafy gets soaked from now on. I take that back. Anything green will be soaked because leeks are like sandpaper.
