Dr. B's Finest Kind Medical clinic and Fish Market

One reason for Talapia being now sold with Salmon is that the oceans are losing their fish stocks from being overfished. Talapia can be grown in farms.

But another reason is obesity. Poor Bill Clinton's coronary is being blamed on McDonalds...

So millions of aging yuppies now seek the fountain of youth in fish products. Fish oil gives protection against heart disease, and is useful as a protein source for Diabetes.

Of course, a good diet and exercize has been known since ancient times,

which is why we have a "hippocrates diet" and a Biblical diet" etc. etc.

It used to be that we argued how many angels could dance on the top of a pin...now we argue how many omega 2 fats should be in the diet.

Eating and Drinking
    Then an old man, a keeper of an inn, said, 'Speak to us of Eating and Drinking.'

And he said:

Would that you could live on the fragerance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light.

But since you must kill to eat, and rob the young of its mother's milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship,

And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in many.

When you kill a beast say to him in your heart,

'By the same power that slays you, I to am slain; and I too shall be consumed. For the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand.

Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven.'

And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart,

'Your seeds shall live in my body,

And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,

And your fragrance shall be my breath,

And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.'

And in the autumn, when you gather the grapes of your vineyard for the winepress, say in you heart,

'I too am a vineyard, and my fruit shall be gathered for the winepress,

And like new wine I shall be kept in eternal vessels.'

And in winter, when you draw the wine, let there be in your heart a song for each cup;

And let there be in the song a remembrance for the autumn days, and for the vineyard, and for the winepress.

Kahlil Gibran

Except, of course, we no longer hunt our own meat, nor grow our own food...
