I thought it was pretty much a forgone conculsion that cow protection rules out dairy farming. To show them how to run more economically, will probably only encourage them, and we know what they do to non-producers. I think we should stay with a simple paradigm, eventually they will come to us (or whoever else who is able to do things without machines & ugra-technology). >Regarding gobar patties as fuel; while serving in India (1976-77) I >read news articles indicating that researchers found that the smoke of >burning gobar patties for cooking was responsible for eye problems such as >cataracts as well as a variety of respiratory illnesses.

ANY smoke in excess is harmful, even incense.

Thanks for your time. >YS, Taraka dasa Issues like these are never a 'closed case' and may always be discussed if some new idea or aspect is brought up. We're all in the same position, utterly foolish (at least some of us), and one of the main purposes of this conference is to help us make important decisions collectively. Don't be shy and post as much as you want, that's the purpose, I hope your illness is not very serious. ys etc., nistula dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
