Hi Ray,
your law on page 1 reads:
Do Not Eat The Fruit Of The Technology
That Makes Edible The Inedible
nice
(my sister used a not so poetic phrase:
"if we were ment to fry our food then frying pans would grow on trees")
I note that your law discards eating cows.
A human can't eat a big animal without the technology of a
knife of s
ome sort. How should you break it's skin.
Then fire and even aging(bacteriologic processing) is usually
used on it.
Stone tools are technology, like fire is.
Conclusion: inedible.
Essentially it leaves only fruit, some edible plants,plant seeds, roots,
insects and very small animals.
I might include here a personal selection criteria for food.
"Eat whatever attracts your senses like by smell, taste, colour
when it is unmodified (uncooked without spices) and unmixed."
That is what a paleolithic human or pre-human would do, rhight?
How to put that all into praxis and reality, and where to make
the compromises, we are not of the same opinion, it seems.
Same for food-producing industries.
But I like your statement about learning.
Same applies to me.
