The Tax Resister Diet

[Diogenes The Cynic]

But transistors must be manufactured.

I wonder if Hitler had a Jewish playmate like you early in his childhood...

I don't understand what you mean.

To conform to the transistor diet, you must eat transistors. While that may be dangerous, I don't see how it would create liberty.

Transistors are made of chemical elements in Group IV in the periodic table of elements. That's stuff like silicon and germanium. I can't imagine getting a lot of nutritional value out of that. Alex, what sort of suppliments do you take to account for calcium, iron, that sort of thing? Also, do transistors have a lot of carbs?

I believe all of the things you've listed should be legal, but some make for more effective resistance methods than others.  Remember that the only reason why the governments don't just cut any dissident's throat as soon as he begins to annoy them is public opinion - they need to maintain an illusion of benevolence.  The public is not going to care about tax resisters who financed themselves by pimping and selling drugs being thrown into prison for a very long time!

And, if we ever do have a secession standoff with the Feds that leads to a blockade, then agricultural self-sufficiency will be a lot more beneficial than anything else.  Look at successful secession movements: U.S. Revolution, Israeli Kibbutz, etc.  How successful do you think they would be if they had to import their basic survival necessities from the governments they were trying to secede from?!

Alex, what sort of [supplements] do you take to account for calcium, iron, that sort of thing

I still take above-ground store-bought vitamins that have 100% USDA of everything or more.  (One pill is a great multivitamin, and another is extra calcium to be super-sure I'm getting enough.)  I get enough of most micro-nutrients from vegetables and other foods, but supplements are very cheap (if you divide by days) and they ensure consistency.  If you dine on beans and snack on greens, not getting enough nutrition is next to impossible!

Interesting, do you strip the plastic off first? I can't imagine that shrink wrap shell being digestible. Aw wait, that's a capacitor, sorry.

Deep down.  Nuttin' but love.

The best method of resistance is silicone.

You hit the nail on the head with your Machiavellian interpretation of the governments  actions. But transistors who use AMD tend to work faster.

The Israeli kibbutzes were miniature communist communes in a capitalist society, and got heavy government subsidies. They didn't develop any tech equipment so your argument that they were transistors doesn't work.

[John Shaw]

Seems to me that you'd have to go through a lot of fiber to move those transistors through your system.

I'm dying for someone to try these and tell me how they are:

Googling "tax resister" results in 37,500 hits.  It is the most befitting choice of words I can think of - if I'm wrong, please let me know, but otherwise your "transistor" jokes are no longer appropriate.

And, dude, on my diet virtually everything I eat has lots of fiber.  I get like 3-5x the recommended daily amount.

BTW, those daily recommendations are only a guesstimate, and a lot of government corruption was involved in making them.  For example, I'm pretty sure that the calcium number came from the "minimum 3 servings a day" lobbying by the dairy industry - there isn't a bit of evidence that anyone in human history but the milk-guzzling Europeans ever got that much calcium and that it has any health benefits (a lot of "Okinawan coral calcium" claims are lies).  About 300mg ought to be enough for most people, which you can easily get from 200g of cooked collard greens or kale.

[The ghost of a ghost of a ghost]

Libman you know collards need to be cooked with some type of ham product.

You fucking know it!

[anarchir]

Problem solved.

He wants to jizz on your face.

[AL the Inconspicuous]

Um, no.  My respect for Shaw is purely platonic.

Libman you know collards need to be cooked with some type of ham product. You fucking know it!

I liked ham products in large quantities and without and nasty green stuff in them. 

But now I'm in a war - to reclaim by body, my economic independence from evil, and my life!

[Supplement Facts nutrition label image] Problem solved.

Exactly.

I get more than enough vitamins from veggies, obviously, but it's nice to be sure I fill the gap on those monotone days when I mainly eat legumes and grains.  I often run out of fresh greens 2-3 days after shopping, and sometimes I only bother going shopping once a week, but I do eat large quantities of fresh tomatoes and/or tomato paste, avocados, onions, peppers, etc every day though.

It actually makes sense to get some minerals from supplements: plants just get them from soil without changing them much, so why not just cut out the middle-man (or middle-lifeform) the way I do with meat.  Of course there are hundreds of different nutrients, so you can't use supplements for everything, just the main essential minerals like calcium, potassium, etc - and of course vitamins D and B12.
