look at Joel Salatin , he is born in 1957, has 52 years old and he look like a 35 years old man (except the hair). Is that because he is eating healthy food, from his farm ? i bet it is

[Collin Jones]

Joe Salatin is my hero. I am in school for soil science because of this mans philosophies.

[ZandarKoad]

Sweet, just awesome. "We should make Joel Salatin head of Monsanto! Just imagine the quality of food they would produce!"

If you can understand the problem with my preceding quote, you'll understand why it's futile to hope a new/different/better president will help America. Now or in a hundred years. Don't rely on Joel Salatin for your farming. BECOME > JOEL SALATIN! Don't delegate your responsibilities. Don't delegate food production, child education, or civil governance. Self govern.

"If we devote ourselves to sacredness in our vocations, the world will rise to meet us". Amen to that!
