Do we have too much?

I don't have too much. I've very little in fact. Maybe I should get a job.

with regard to the food we eat.

I believe people have little or no regard for the food they eat so long as it's cheap and readily available 12mts a year.

Once upon a time in *a land far away we used to be almost completly self sufficient. we grew all our own seasonal vegetables, set potatoes, carrots every concievable necessity was grown. When you cut a head of lettuce from the garden it was wilted in a matter of hours. Now one will last for over a week from the supermarket.

We had our own ducks, geese, hens = eggs,cows & sheep = meat (i'm a dab hand at milking a cow too ). We killed wild ducks and butchered our own animals. we respected these animals in life and eating meat was a priviledge, not an everyday expectation. obviously we fished too.

my point being that you cannot expect the quality of food to be similar under the stress of the current demand for food. Something has to give. Imo it's not just the quality of life of these animals thats going to suffer, it's the fact that people don't know what their eating.

There are no seasons anymore, everything is forced, there is no respect.

I picked up a packet of ham in the super market today, there we fifteen ingredients . Can our bodies cope with all these additives? time will tell

Purpose of Life
In Buddhism, the purpose of life is to end suffering. The Buddha taught that humans suffer because we continually strive after things that do not give lasting happiness
