almost there. considering going raw.Quit eating meat.
Don't do it, I know 2 people who did the raw vegan thing. One of them got super sick and stopped. The other was a fat chick who stopped when she lost all the weight. Being raw vegan is retarded unhealthy, and doing the raw meat thing is a whole other story (that I know nothing about)
Happen to see the rest of that documentary? It's pretty much fantastic in every way.http://books.google.com/books?id=OTnXAAAAMAAJ&q="mitsuyuki+ikeda
The guy did stop eating meat, he was eating **** instead
The frequency of food safety problems from produce or other non-meat items (nuts etc) isn't much better than meat. Those organic sprouts from Germany aren't that great
Industrial farming of produce or meat isn't that great obviously. Beef cattle actually do eat ****:

if i go raw, it won't be vegan. i've already been adding raw elements to my diet. i think it probably isn't necessary to go all in on that one.
even better, KYO.
This. Took Wifey for a bike ride down to the Farmer's Market yesterday. We got veggies and fruit to last us until Wednesday, which is when the next local Farmer's Market is held.
YMMV, but when we've bought veggies at the farmers market here, they last a LOOOONG time before going bad. Like 3+ weeks. Something about being picked that morning as opposed to being picked half-ripe and sitting in a cargo container for 4 weeks while it slowly makes it's way here from Argentina.
I would grow a garden but we only have a tiny balcony. That and I don't want to put in a proper garden, if we will be moving soon. Plus, isn't it a bit too late to get a garden started for the year?YMMV, but when we've bought veggies at the farmers market here, they last a LOOOONG time before going bad. Like 3+ weeks.

Of course, we've cut back on our farmers market purchases during the summer now that our garden is up and running. So far we've only been able to harvest lettuce/salad greens, but it's been such a cold spring nothing much is growing yet. Growing it yourself and harvesting it ~10min before you eat it tastes even better than buying local.
i grow hot peppers and a few herbs on my patio.
Speaking of local farms, there is a farm smack in the middle of my town that's less than a mile from my house. Doesn't get much more local than that
That shelving unit would probably work pretty well with smaller plants (ie, salad greens in a long window box, for instance, or your small green leafy things like swiss chard), especially if you have a balcony that's in the sun most of the time.
I've actually had far better luck growing hot peppers on a patio at an apt than I ever have at my house. The apt we had had full sun almost throughout the day, and since it was a concrete wasteland it also warmed up quite a bit as well. Trying to plant them in our garden at our house hasn't worked anywhere near as well, since the ground is colder and it doesn't get as much sun (it's in the shade pretty much from 2pm on). The only real way to do it is to buy 6-8" tall seedlings, or start them in a cold-frame. Still, we ended up with so many peppers two years ago that we froze huge bags of them and we're *still* eating them.
i had a really good crop last summer because it was so hot. this year, so far so good. and an expanded variety of peppers
