I would play by those rules, most of the time..

Oh makes sense. I was probably remembering an anecdote of someone who had mixed the chips into the soil rather than just mulching on top. You did say mulching - my mistake. How do you chip the branches for mulching? Are they fine or more coarse?

Mulching veggie beds with wood chips.. haven’t tried it myself, but doesn’t the high carbon:nitrogen ratio create a nitrogen sink that deprives the veggies of nitrogen?

This is how we used to do it and it worked great. Two top load side-by-side cubic meter bins made from juniper and 1/2” hardware cloth, with side doors for unloading. Used to get wheelbarrows of produce scraps from a local grocery. Only problem in the city was rats. It didn’t smell like sewer, usually tended towards piss (nitrogen), and it made great compost. We’ve avoided it since moving because we don’t want to attract rodents, but maybe there’s a way.. fortunately our scraps can go in the yard waste bin and get composted by the municipality. Have tried bokashi but it smelled like sewer and I gave up.

I agree that diet is the source of a lot of illness in our society. I have seen no convincing evidence that a low carb high meat diet is the solution. Show me the evidence.

Solid evidence-based counterpoint to the carnivore perspective: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-safety-and-efficacy-of-ketogenic-low-carb-diets-for-diabetes-remission/?subscriber=true&utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=d8151d2927-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_7_26_2022_12_48_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_40f9e497d1-d8151d2927-30180772&mc_cid=d8151d2927

The original post is more likely referring to 's meme as a metaphor for the current state of the US’s fiscal dominance - indebtedness spiral. Anything stopping that slow motion dumpster fire?

Use the airplane air nozzle on full blast aimed a few inches in front of your face. It’s HEPA filtered. If you can stand it, just wear a KN95 the whole time. (BNX is a reasonable American made brand.) That will take care of airborne illness like Covid and flu. Still need to wash hands to prevent things like rhinovirus and other common URI. Taking zinc would help too.
