OK, I have a few questions.  First of all, how could Maine possibly be further north than Canada, lol.  Just ribbing you, Robert.  But seriously, you guys have been talking about the water fast lately.  I am curious about that.  How long do you do it, and for what reasons??  I have a bit of low blood sugar, which means I usually need to eat every couple of hours, which I haven't been doing lately to the detriment of my health.

How far north? One of the books I read that inspired me to build my solar 
greenhouse was written by a man who has a commercial organic vegetable 
operation in Maine -- depending on where you are in Quebec, he may 
actually be further north than you are. His approach includes season 
extension through simple devices like cold frames, solar greenhouses, and 
row covers. He grows both traditional "summer" crops as well as various 
winter crops. The techniques work -- I'm still harvesting fresh veggies 
in my greenhouse and we're well past the normal growing season here, and 
have been through many freezing nights and a good round of snow and ice 
already. The plants are still growing. In fact, just another week and 
we'll pass the winter solstice, so the days will start getting longer 
again. You'd have less sunlight to work with than I do (I'm in Missouri, 
half a continent south of you), but the principles would still apply.

Of that I have no doubt. The last I heard, they're wanting to build a 
10-lane superhighway all the way from Mexico to Canada.

I've never done a water fast. Might be interesting. I've done juice 
fasts before, and never really saw what the big deal was about them. I 
imagine paleo man fasted at times, whether he wanted to or not.
