The Tax Resister Diet

[Laetitia]

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


Exactly.

I have a great deal of respect for taking charge of one's health & finances by cutting out the list of chemicals that go into all the steps between food leaving the farm and ending up in a box or bag, and all the extra cost that goes with it. Calling it a "tax resister" diet just makes you sound like a fellow in a tinfoil hat.

[AL the Inconspicuous]

Hey now, wearing tinfoil or similar hats (or even armor) may have scientifically-verifiable practical value some time in the future.  Don't knock it without a good reason.

And, no, I could never get myself to change the way I eat (or drink, or smoke) just for the sake of my health.  Agorism and tax resistance is what pushed me over the edge.

Tinfoil actually increases the strength of radiowaves, so the thought-control rays from the mothership will just be stronger if you wear tinfoil.

What you want is a lead helmet and make sure to sleep in a Faraday cage.

[anarchir]

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.

Just remember that supplements like vitamins do not have the calories necessary to maintain weight so you would still have to keep eating a variety of other foods, as you are doing.  Why dont you set out some rabbit traps or go hunting for squirrel? It should be a good source of food for one person and satisfy a lot of your dietary means involving meat. The greater variety, the better.

[AL the Inconspicuous]

I eat tons of vegetables, legumes, grains, mushrooms, etc.  I get about 3000 calories daily, about 15% of which are from protein (more if I eat lots of beans or use soy flour, etc), and plenty of essential fatty acids from avocados, olives, etc.

I already addressed the "why not eat untaxed meat" issue above - it's psychologically easier to quit it all at once, without teasing yourself.  Only then your body eventually adjusts, you stop craving meat, and your brain regains the ability to recognize how great vegetables taste.

Hmm I suppose psychologically it would be beneficial to go cold turkey, but personally I would consider keeping various small animals (turkey, rabbits, chickens) to be so simple and worth the time.

[AL the Inconspicuous]

Nope, quitting all animal products completely is the way to go, so that your tastes change.  Quiting sweets, all beverages but water, and the other things I've mentioned also helps because they make you crave meat.  The phrase "cold turkey" implies quiting rapidly, which isn't necessary - I'd recommend phasing it out gradually while you learn to shop and cook in ways that are consistent with the Tax Resister Diet.

And about keeping small animals - the government thugs (or their cheerleaders) could yell "animal abuse" and crack down at any time...  Remember what they did to Brian Travis?

Sweets huh?  What about (available here in WI, so I assume there in NH) Fruits: Strawberries, raspberries, cranberries apples (various fruits etc.).

Or Maple Syrup, Rhubarb, or Sugar from Beets?
Get your fill of sweet foods man!

As to the gov crackdown, perhaps free range turkeys are your style? Just let them roam and pretend you have no control over them, the gov will never know they're yours.

Edit: they wont need a chicken coop or anything like that mostly. They will find their own place to perch, and you can just put feeders outdoors and build them a shed for the winter which they will mostly ignore.

[anarchir]

Also Honey.

[AL the Inconspicuous]

A healthy vegan diet is still a struggle between junk carbs and healthy carbs, as well as essential fats, and especially protein as a percentage of your caloric intake.  Apples only have 2% calories from protein, honey has just 0.4%, and maple sap or refined sugar have zilch.  If you're a skinny girl a bit of honey won't hurt you, but if you're a guy trying to lose fat while keeping his muscles then you can't afford to water down your food with any additional sugar, no matter how natural.

Berries are OK.  Strawberries have 8.4% of their calories from protein, raspberries are 7.7%, but cranberries are 3.4%.  With larger fruit it's easy to get too much carb junk, so I've completely cut out most of them, most notably apples.  Tropical fruit is a no-no because of New Hampshire's climate, and valuable greenhouse space is best used for shelves of greens instead of fruit trees.  There are no known micro-nutrients that fruits have that greens and other vegetables don't have in much higher amounts.


PS: why double-post when you can edit?

I was tired and busy doing other things when I thought of it, so I just quick-posted and moved on.

[The ghost of a ghost of a ghost]

Super easy to make.  Just perlite, an aquarium heater, plastic containers, substrate jars and a few spore syringes to get you started.  You can make the substrate jars with a pressure cooker or buy them online tax free!  Then buy yourself some spores of tasty morels, oyster, or shitakes and you're growing.  Then take a spore print for further use.  It may not be efficient to the extent you desire for your diet, but I think you should enjoy the exquisite flavors the world has to offer.

Yeah, mushrooms rule!

Hey, this is off topic but I've been getting some crap from the global warming guys on facebook so I took some stuff from our global warming thread on here and compiled it for facebook sharing. Content is below, copy and share!

<h1>A collection of links to help believers notice that there is indeed plenty of room to be skeptical.</h1>

I'm a fan of science and all the methods and procedures of good science, which is why I'm on the fence regarding all the things being spouted out regarding global warming now aka "climate change." I dont think anyone is denying "climate change," the climate has changed, is changing, and will change. What we disagree on is "how it changes, how fast it changes, why it changes, and what is it changing into." The big one regarding government action should be "WHY."

First read this article, to see a broad overview of some of the problems with the climate change movement:

The UN Climate Panel frequently spouts statistics without data to back them up:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7017907.ece

Turning the situation regarding following sources into a "heard it from a friend who heard it from...who heard it from" situation.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.8d6e5773c60565dfc6e882b0a8dcbf18.4e1&show_article=1

Since the UN's panel disagreed with Indias own conflicting data on the Himalyan Ice Caps, the Indians separated and formed their own panel.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/7157590/India-forms-new-climate-change-body.html
Quoted from the breitbart.com article:
"No evidence could be found to show the claim had been published in a peer-reviewed journal and reports in Britain have said the reference came from green group the WWF, who in turn sourced it to the New Scientist magazine."

The Czech President also says climate change meetings are just hot air:

OK Politics aside,

More Errors: Rising water? Scientists withdrew those claims do to errors in calculations:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/feb/21/sea-level-geoscience-retract-siddall

The Climategate Scandal that exposed withheld and deleted scientific data and emails, which completely negates any effectiveness of a "peer review process."

You can make the substrate jars with a pressure cooker or buy them online tax free!  Then buy yourself some spores of tasty morels, oyster, or shitakes and you're growing. 

You can sterilize substrate jars without a pressure cooker. A normal pot with a lid and boiling water will work for many substrates. The substrate you use depends on the type of shrooms you are growing.

But it is very labor intensive, and doesn't have a good yield compared to other methods. It's good for beginners because it is easy.

This is basically the PF Tek method.
