Roebear, very interesting about soybeans. So glad you're back. I hope this will only be meaningful dialogue here, and of course when we have nothing to say, we will not waste good time here or anywhere else. But the soybean thing. This planet now runs on soybeans. Study and see I speak truth. The ozone levels rise depletes soybeans by as much as 1/4. Seed engineering now is really hot. Why? Because the seeds don't work now in a changing soil and sun like they used to. I am doing an intense study of predictions I found thumbing through an old infotrak at the library in l995. All predictions were for 2025. I am greatly alarmed, that's all I can say. Soybeans, back to soybeans. They are almost a perfect food. Sprouted they should be even more perfect. Soon they will be 3.00 a pound I would imagine as supplies go down for the individual consumer. Already soy flour is close to 1.00 while wheat is still pretty good. I am only passing on a strong warning to people to consider the possibiliyt of putting some seeds in some dirt and putting some water on them if the price of fresh vegetables and fruit continues to slowly rise. Think about it...where is the stuff growing? There is no section of America not weekly under destructive seige. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I have lived assuming the US is the breadbasket of the world. If it isn't, what is, and what is THEIR weather pattern? Mike, if you want to calm me down, can you present calming statistics of peaceful agrarian nations happily growing tons of food as the population now begins to double from 6 billion to a very quick 10 at least. I'm talking very quick. Who's a mathmetician. If we had 2 bill in the 70's I htink, and we have at least 6 bill now, that's at least a double and perhaps closer to a triple in less than 30 years. What does the 6 bill double to in how long? I flunked algebra obviously, and for me this is advanced calculus..
