Thanks for your post weirdo3. I am aware that some of the stuff I post here is probably way off the radar for most people, but it's good to know that you recognize this problem, and it shows you are taking responsibility for yourself, and others.

This is my view. In a real community, I mean lets go back several hundred years, people grew their own food, and the knowledge got passed down from generation to generation. This is how we survived.

However with the introduction of the industrial age, and oil, things changed. Now the system has all gone wrong.

But I too am like you, born unto man as it were. My parents got it all wrong, I was fed milk, dairy, then processed food. I only got it right at age 53, which also wasn't so long ago :)

So well done you on getting it right at a much younger age.

My advice to you would be to let your parents and grandparents be, I tried to change mine and it didn't work, they are set in their ways.

The best thing to do is lead by example. Hang out with friends who think the same way. If you ever have kids - which I hope you do as you sound sensible :) - try and bring them up the right way.

Good luck - and well done for being so forward thinking!
