Adam,

I have seen more than one anti-religious remark since I joined this list.
Since no one objected, I happily assumed that this was a rare group in which
people allowed others to have differing opinions without necessarily needing
to point that out.

Therefore I thought it'd be OK to discuss food and agriculture as mentioned
in texts that are thousands of years old and considered sacred by a vast
number of the earth's inhabitants in several religions.

All the best in non-proselytizing imperfect paleoness :)
