What do you mean? They have to many nutrients and good stuff in them for the American stomach?

Maybe give them feedback and ask for it? If a lot of people request it, they might consider it.

Thank you for elaborating your idea. I understand now what you‘ve meant. I think for many people the teenage years are very difficult. I also had a short period of it thinking nobody loved me, which was not true at all! It is all the hormones and the changes. Luckily I got over it quickly.

But a lot of people feel lost still into adulthood. I don’t have kids yet, but if I do, I would hope I would give my teenagers enough love so that they feel safe and accepted however they are, so that they can evolve into mentally healthy adults. I did an online master in education once, and the things I mostly got stuck with is that, parents should always hug and express their love for their children, even if the children get embarrassed, it is a phase, but they have to feel safe and loved in their homes, to be able to fight all their demons outside.

Also a bonus thing I learnt: free time to get bored for children is essential, so that they have time to order their thoughts about the world and what they want from their life.

Is it an exclamation as in „what a kind community!“ or a question as in „what kind of community?“

My husband(he is also my best friend). We hug a lot. Feeling lucky to have found someone that likes the physical closeness as much as I do.

very well: Romanian, English, Spanish, German. More understanding than speaking: French, Portuquese, Italian. And I know some words(very minimal) in Hungarian. I wish I would be more fluent in French, since we go there from time to time, I wish I knew Greek, Danish, Hungarian, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese(I love Chinese food and often watch cooking videos althougb I don’t understand what they are saying).

Super Gut by Dr William Davis

News flash, we are all unique. People just do not embrace that, they are afraid to step outside the uniforms. And sometimes with good reasons, since society tends tu put down whoever is not like them. I did not give a shit about that. And I was very social, more so than now, so I don’t know where you get that analysis from. I also did not wear piercings, died hair and all that. I just did not want to have to buy some expensive clothes because they were fashionable and extremely uncomfortable many times. That did not impede me to make friends, but it did allow me to stand for myself and not conform to stupid norms. My parents taught me critical thinking, taught me to be responsible, and encouraged me to be happy in whichever form I had(and I was and am) and to fight for my rights and against bullying.

Growing on a farm makes you more resourceful. You can also grow part of your food. You can also forage. I thing being poor in a big city is awful, being poor in the countryside is more bearable.

Depends on the country I suppose. If you have adequate summer weather and a bit of garden, those tomatoes grow themselves. Bread is relatively cheap where I grew up and my grandmother even made her own bread. And lard would come from self grown pig that would be split with several families. It is not the same to live in a big city where you have to buy everything, and be in the country or small towns, where you can supplement with own grown stuff.

Nowadays people buy everything, they have no idea how to grow some veggies, care for some chicken, can food for winter. Out summers and autumns were full of canning after schools and my parent’s work hours, or weekend, vacations. You would buy the veggies when they were cheap in the markets, or grow yourself, if you had some land( we had a small garden, but sometimes we would find some strips of land outside the town via friends and colleagues of my parents, where we could grow more onions, garlic, beans, etc.)

And we had community. If you had surplus, you would share it. With a good community is easier to survive and thrive.

Also a big topic, people don’t know anymore how to eat seasonal. I have no problems eating cruciferous, root vegetables and potatoes the entire winter. In summer, if I get good tomatoes, I eat a lot of them. But I don’t buy them in winter. They taste like cardboard.

Really? I went into the first product, some cast iron pan snd did not see any mentioning of the origin. e.g. https://cookinglife.eu/products/cast-iron-frying-pan-cast-iron-o-25-cm-without-non-stick-coating

Spain

Wild garlic ( Bärlauch in German)

Yeah, well Spain does change its hour still. I also hope we stop thin nonsense, but no need to involve religion into this.

Yes, that is what I would have used, but it is difficult to select the text from the phone. Thanks again for the effort.

Thanks for translating

Dealing with incompetents and sociopaths working in big corporations and trying to keep sane.

Oh yes, the Swiss have a f-ing Trash Police!! My sister lives there, and I am sorry for her. I hope I never “have to” live there. I am generally happy in Germany, just the social interactions are harder to make. Luckily I found my tribe with Spanish people. But as I said, real community is hard to make here. But I think it is a specific south German issue, they are closed off even for Germans from other parts of the world. Anyway, they are missing out some nice food and good jokes.
