    I prefer the "scary-sharp" method of sharpening anything.
    That metal stick you see people rubbing knives on? That's a hone, a strop is a leather impregnated strap for sharpening straight razors.
    Stones , hones and strops don't even come close to Scary Sharp. I like to get it so sharp that I bleed when I just look at it.

    Actually landfill digging would be a wonderful exercise for an archaeology class.

    Yes, foods should be judged on their individual merits. Synthetic (which doesn't mean processed) lacks components and balance of the structure of natural food, this can be a dangerous oversight equal to finding a natural food to be slowly carcinogenic or such, with much more likelyhood. It would be foolish to trust the say-so of food company research, the buyable FDA, or even independent research that we weren't involved in personally. Given the state of corruption and malfeasance in the world of science today, you can't trust research anymore than a political campaign , even IF you could tell the difference.
    I am not just IMPLYING natural food is safer, I"M SAYING IT IN PLAIN EASY TO READ ENGLISH, so there will be no mistake. I KNOW natural food to be safe, you merely BELIEVE synthetic food is on someone elses say-so. Differentiate what you FEEL,THINK,KNOW and BELIEVE, this will clear a lot of confusion for you and others in the future.
    And yes ,of course, you couldn't find context for my allergy statement, making some fruitless point about furtherance of our state.
    Given a brief meta-view of mans progress( we discovered what we can and can't eat long before anyone uttered the word science), your statements are irrational. Synthetic food merely makes up lost time and effort in producing natural foods. Laziness. With todays Aquaponics, Hydroponics, and other methods, time, space, effort are small and can feed the world, cut your bills , help ensure your health and make unmistakably delicious meals.
    You can eat the packaging my food comes in if you like, I'll eat real food. Time will be your unfortunate proof.

    Why should plastics leach estrogen-like chemicals into food? Wow, who was wrong about that one? It could be, that the data that needs to be followed is the lifetime of a group of human test subjects, which would be impractical for an inventor to bother to market. SOOOO, the way things work, is, YOU get to be the guinea pig along with a public that swallows the load the FDA spews from its pipe.
    You could answer your own question by reviewing evolution. What did we evolve to fuel ourselves with most efficiently? When you have the answer to that, you can experiment, take notes and reach the conclusion that I did. Natural foods in the right combination, increase your health, because we are set up to process them efficiently. Now I don't know how long you've been around, but, synthetic anything having anything to do with food has been a complete f**kup so far. Oh ,grocery stores are full of all sorts of examples of food/synthesis and the aisles are filled with the examples of people buying those products. Just watch who reaches for the margarine or reaches into the frozen section for that crap. The snack aisles are a howl! I'm sure Cargill or Monsanto would love to take credit for feeding the world on recycled cardboard and condoms with 7 essential vitamins, thanks anyway. More for you.
    Now, also, by studying those who came before us, we know they ate everything (at least once) and doing so passed data from generation to generation by word of mouth until civilizations could record it and pass it on. Today, we are aware of damn near every plant on the planet and what it is good or bad for. So, check before you eat, if in doubt, and make accommodations for any allergies you may encounter.

    My understanding of science is; that while it looks good in a on paper to say that the method was followed, it falls prey, far too often, to bias, corruption and poor review, to be much more than pissing in the wind, for practical purposes. So, with that in mind, I'd like to complete my personal evaluation of the likelyhood of any actual science being involved whether it be from an actual scientist or those bulbous punchinello waddling around in lab coats with squirting clipboards. By digging for more accurate data by producing a meta-set above the problem and applying data I already have with the algorithms I use, I can divine truth( more useful than most data), guide my well thought out future, and keep winning at the track.
    If you take offense to the latter of my post, I would urge you to put up or shut up. This is a game for men. Men bring money and do business, boys bring nothing and do nothing.
