No sir, I will not thank you later, I will thank you now for this feast of an article. Last weekend we held a similar event in our back yard and were blown away by the response. Invited 40 people and 36 showed up. People are starving for such as this. We had 2 guitars, 2 pianists, three flutes, a trumpet, a cello, numerous vocalists, and more. Everyone sang along. Here's a tip-don't over plan it, just invite. Our guests thanked us again and again, and asked when we would repeat it (next month!).
So we thank you now, and your here's how tips we will chew on.
They want us to think insects are the new meat. 200,000+ years of Homo sapien history and no one has made insects the Primary staple of one's diet unless otherwise starving. That is the transhumanist crowd too, thinking they can engineer a better human. More like they are making a god awful mess of the human condition.
I have been living in Europe since 1995. I am now in the south of France. People eat a LOT of cheese, butter, full fat milk/kefir/yogurt, lait cru (fresh unpasteurized milk) and its byproducts (cheese/yogurt), steak, charcuterie (cured meats of all sorts), quiches, tartes, baguettes, croissants (oh, the butter content), lamb meat . . . everything demonized by the American food/medical industrial complex and yet, I have not seen obese people. In fact, here, in the mountains above Nice, I have not seen really fat people. Most people are thin, and they’re hiking, cycling, canyoning, doing all kinds of active pursuits. The elderly (70plussers) are thin and active, and after a long hike, they settle down to a hearty lunch of salad, cheese, steak, tartes and red wine. Alas, when I visit my parents in Houston, most of the people I see, look like dirigibles, not humans. And they seem very unhappy too.
