Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Yes, Suze! Our Glutenator needs her costume with GFF - for Gluten Freedom Fighter - on the front in gold glitter. And then she needs to go out in the real world and get some pictures in action, along with reaction from the masses. And then we can start a photo file for " Helga, Our Hero. " Bravo! we need to get her a super hero outfit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we know you are going to stand up for the rights of entomophagists and offer government assistance and protection in the fight to preserve the tastier species of waterbugs and slugs?

In our efforts to provide good affordable food we certainly should not forget the entomophagist community. Extending the popularity of entomophagy will provide a tasty source of protein, and perhaps may even be acceptable so some of the vegetarian community currently addicted to soy and wheat-gluten-fake-meat. After all, bugs have been known to destroy their beloved vegetables. Perhaps we can provide job-training programs for some of our inner-city youth in our new bug-rearing facilities, thus training them in this new profit-making field while providing delicacies for the NT menu at our better restaurants. And encourage farmers to re-sell their earworms rather than spraying. What do you think?

I'm also impressed that you have not resorted to trashing all the other anti- bug candidates.

We are kicking the flunkies out of the basement, which of course used to be the wine and root cellar. We are also installing solar lighting and heating and solar electric collectors, as an example to the American public. And the kitchen gardens will be re-instated, and the chickens of course.

Will there be tax breaks for wild worm >farmers? What's your position on chicken snatchers? Enquiring felines >want to know. As you have posed several questions here, I will take them one at a time: 1. Obviously all herders, whether on the back of an animal or on foot, are valuable to our economy, as are all other human beings. So all will share equal rights, privileges, and protections, as is guaranteed by our Constitution. However, I would like an education program to encourage cowboys to start actually riding " cows " instead of " horses " (in which case they should be " horseboys " , though that may be a little degrading, esp. if they are female). Herders should ride Longhorns ... they are less flighty than horses, and are more calming to their fellow bovines. And make better steaks at the end of their useful lives. 2. There is some controversy over what constitutes a " wild " vs. a " domesticated " worm, so all worm farmers will be in the same category. However, my postion on subsidies is that they don't work well. We intend to push for legislation to return to the pre-Nixon system, where crops are bought by the government when prices drop too low (bumper years) and the government then sells them at a profit when prices are high (lean years). This system ensure the health of all farms without costing the taxpayers anything, the system generally ran at a profit in the past (buy low, sell high!). I expect that bumper crops of worms can be turned into dried worm meal for future feeding to chickens and insectovores. 3. My position on chicken snatchers depends on the species of the snatcher. I know, this mayb e considered prejudicial. However, hawks and jaguars and alligators are protected species, plus they really don't do well in jail. The chickens deserve a space that is safe from such snatchers, but I believe this can be done without building more jail space or raising taxes. -- Helga >MFJ >There are no stupid questions, but there are plenty of silly ones. <And boy, do we do silly good on this list!> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea-- then farmer's will be encouraged to invest in crops that have no market. This wreaked havoc during the Great Depression, by the way, and caused massive suffering and economic disaster. This system ensure > the health of all farms without costing the taxpayers anything, > Umm, so where does the government get the money to buy the crops? Taxpayers?
