RE: How do!
Hehehe, was trying to be as general as possible, I'm always fishing for people who have strong opinions on ag and food production. It's a lonely subset of interests.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I do have a good interest in agriculture actually. Although I don't oppose organic production I don't buy it myself and I'm of the opinion that organic certification revolves more around luddism than science. Ideally I'd like to see more hydroponic food production than conventional or organic.

Welcome to the forums. You might consider modifying your name though. Isn't there another "Skeptic" on here? The word is not quite original. Wink

"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"

I did think it was odd that the name wasn't taken. I'll try to think of something.

Welcome, anyway.

I'd stay longer but its time for bacon and eggs.

I think we have a Skeptic, but I think is is either misspelled or coupled with something else. I don't think you can register under an already used name. I'll have to check on that.

For now, new guy, stick to the name you chose. Smile Welcome to the forums.

Welcome, and I believe it is every skeptic's duty to crush the beliefs of anyone that uses homeopathic medicine.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Welcome fellow bread, fruit, and vegetable eater Smile

I eat marginal meats and dairies. Fats not so much either. Sugar I'm fairly big on, though I am soon to get off of it. Salt needs to be present plenty often, but I don't mind not having it all the time.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
