That we can subsist on plant food and perform our work even to advantage is not a theory, but a well-demonstrated fact. Many races living almost exclusively on

vegetables are of superior physique and strength." --Nikola Tesla, inventor & physicist, 1856-1943Tesla argued that it is wrong to eat uneconomic meat when large numbers of people are starving; he also believed that plant food was "superior to meat in regard to both mechanical and mental performance." He also argued that animal slaughter was "wanton and cruel.">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food "--Hippocrates, 400

Herbal pesto can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used not only with pasta but also as a bread spread instead of butter and it can replace mustard and

mayonnaise for sandwiches. It can be used as a dip with chips, crackers or fresh vegetables like celery, baby carrots, etc. It can be thinned and used as a salad dressing. Add a spoonful or two to flavor soups, stews and chili or to top a baked potato. Herbal pestos not only add bold flavor to your meal or snack, they also have therapeutic amounts of herbs and garlic. The versatile recipe below is intended to spur your imagination. You may want to double this recipe for a party. It will keep several days in the refrigerator and you can freeze any leftovers.

Since the earliest origins of modern industrial agriculture, agribusiness has been at war against all life on earth, including us." --Brian Tokar author of Redesigning Life?
