  • The raw material of bones

    ‘One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him…

    This time it’s from good ole Plamil – and they’re shouting from the rooftops about its plastic-freeness 😀 Of course we wouldn’t be recommending it if it wasn’t also vegan, organic and fair trade, but it is, so we are 😀 We also wouldn’t be recommending it if it wasn’t absolutely scrummy.  And it is…

  • Plastic Avoidance: Part 7

    Zero Waste Club Remember I wrote in my earlier plastic avoidance posts that it was impossible, in my experience, to get organic stuff (like sugar, lentils, dried fruit, nuts, pasta etc etc) that wasn’t wrapped in plastic?  Remember I said that we’d decided we had to prioritise plastic avoidance even if that meant having to…

  • Clever naughty boy

    When reading an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics, Advances in neuroscience imply that harmful experiments in dogs are unethical, by Jarrod Bailey and Shiranee Pereira, I was reminded of our George.  The Open Access article explains that “Functional MRI (fMRI) of fully awake and unrestrained dog ‘volunteers’ has been proven an effective tool to…
