Well, this morning I did my exercise routine, which means I'm on the right track. And I'm starting to visualize in my head the ingredients and prep of fast/junk-food and stifling my oddball cravings for them. They really are disgusting. I try to imagine the kitchen and the storage area and the cows and chickens. I don't weep, but my stomach kind of turns.

I'm also a baby libertarian, but a bit more a deist (absurdist) anarchist. I'm trying to figure out how a real free-market would deal with GMO foods and pesticides. If demand would force companies to grow high quality foods instead of subsidies that force farmers to grow crap.

Started to read a bit of The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul. It relieved my concerns of his fascination with Ayn Rand, saying that he disagrees with her on important issues, but still feels that her work speaks to the movement of less government.

    I'm a libertarian as well. No use to call yourself a "baby libertarian," my friend. If you've read Ayn Rand and agree with the major principles I think you qualify!!

    Just my two cents. Buy a carrot.

    By the way, what do you mean by "deist (absurdist)" anarchy??

    On the crop issue: without govn't control/ subsidies of the crops (or highways/ trains/ other modes of transportation ... without lobbyists ... with a gold dollar backing ... basically with govn't only in control of international relations/ protection and the enforcement of laws against physical harm to the persons and properties of others -- in other words, just shy of anarchism but significantly so, as Rand -- and I -- believe would be best) small/ local farming would absolutely take off.
