Eat The Weeds by Green Deane, the most watched forager in the world The Elephant in the Room With every new year comes a new hope for attaining the elusive peace we all long for. It’s a time when many of us ask ourselves and one another why something so simple, so desperately needed, and so seemingly in our power to create, remains so absent from the reality that is our lives, year after year. Now, at the very beginning of 2014, as I seek to answer that all-important question, I find an enormous elephant in the room that is our war-torn world. As eloquently described by the Nobel prize-winning Yiddish story teller, Isaac Bashevis Singer: “In relation to animals, all people are Nazis; for them, it is an eternal Treblinka.” The animal industry is a holocaust of vast proportions, in which there is no reason, no mercy and no escape. And it is no less hellish because its victims are other than human. This is the elephant in the room whose existence we deny, as we search in vain, year after year, for the peace we long for. Until now.

Yuzu is originally from China, but it’s mostly used in Japanese and Korean cuisine for centuries. Yuzu’s flavor is tart but has amazing aroma; therefore, it is rarely eaten as a fruit and aromatic zest and juice are only used just like how we use lemon. Yuzu has big seeds inside. Here are some of yuzu (柚子, ゆず, ユズ) products that I use. Yuzu Extract or Yuzu Juice Freeze-Dried Yuzu Zest Yuzu Kosho Yuzu Tea (Yuja Cha, Citron Tea) * Image source from Wikipedia
The Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) SUSTAINABLE FOOD CENTER | Austin, Texas Home-built "Bio Computer" runs Linux, grows wheatgrass We've seen the wacky homebrew projects of computer hardware hacker Mike Schropp before. Mindful Gizmag readers may recall his triple quad-core i7 LEGO PC housing that we looked at last July. But his latest project, the "Bio Computer," is rather more oddball, taking a turn distinctly towards the horticultural with a PC case adapted to ... grow wheatgrass. "I'm not complaining by any means, but I do feel as my basement becomes populated with more and more tech based projects that the environment is missing something organic, something natural to balance things out," writes Schropp, on his website, Total Geekdom. Well, not strictly a flowerbed. Schropp then went about refitting the case, a process which involved fitting clear acrylic panels so the soil in the wheatgrass bed and the interior workings of the machine could be seen. When completed, Schropp used a variable-speed fan and Prime95 to ensure the CPU ran flat out in order to carry out tests growing wheatgrass.
