Ken Stuartwondered how the "World Scientists Warning to Humanity" was
relevant to this this.

I had not meant to be "patronizing" at all.  I recently read an interesting
book which reminded me about the World Sicentist's warning, and naively
thought that people on this list would be interested in it.

I don't have the stats in front of me, but Americans alone have used up some
more resources in less than 100 years than all of the combined generations
of humans before us.

I was not trying to be patronizing.   In my enthusiasm I thought that I'd
tell others about the organization above and a little book (meant to change
the world one person at a time) which offers some insight into how we can
each find our OWN natural Balance Point in how we live on and relate to our
Mother Earth would be of interest here.  I can stick to topics more directly
related to food or food-realted disease.

No need to hash or rehash this.  We can just end this thread.
