We actually have some of that around. I'll taste a little and see if I like it. Isn't it pretty expensive though?GandK wrote:Coconut oil! It tastes great, and reportedly has many health benefits.

I get the regular cold-pressed. It's not too expensive. Where I shop, the extra virgin kind is about 33% more expensive and after having had both, I can't taste any difference. Both are vegan, great to cook with... I stir them in my coffee and my oatmeal, and most of the time, I use them instead of butter.enigmaT120 wrote:We actually have some of that around.

Yes, Dan does have a book also called Radical Simplicity. I love it. I have a lot of respect for the guy.jacob wrote:This is exactly the same reason I stopped buying milk shortly after I moved out from home As far as I remember, it was my first "weird" (to other people) ERE-like habit.tylerrr wrote: He eats his cereal with water so he doesn't have to worry about milk spoiling.
Now I just like it better.
PS: Jim Merkel wrote Radical Simplicity ... or are you talking about another Radical Simplicity book? edit: Nevermind, I see that there indeed is a lost kindle book out there somewhere.

Lol, amateurs I used to eat oatmeal with oatmeal during my studies (no water!)... So I came up with the joke that there is some evolution in culinary skills (you know, working with people and such things...).GandK wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:59 amLOL! I thought I was the only one who does this! I don't eat breakfast cereal much anymore (mostly oatmeal now) but I've gotten so much flak over the years for pouring water on the cereal.jacob wrote:This is exactly the same reason I stopped buying milk shortly after I moved out from home As far as I remember, it was my first "weird" (to other people) ERE-like habit.tylerrr wrote: He eats his cereal with water so he doesn't have to worry about milk spoiling.

In Germany the poverty line was at 1090 EURO p.month for a single household in 2015. The poverty line is defined with 60 percent of the median income (by this institute). So with the current USD-EURO-exchange it would be 1,271 USD p.month or 15,252 USD p.a., which is quite high IMO.

@jacob: Dairy is not required to make ice cream. I use coconut milk. (Edit: Did not realize those posts were from years ago, hah!)

Channel 5 has a recent program about Dan Price. It's well worth a watch.

Both of the Dan Price videos on this thread were inspiring. What a wonderful relationship he has with his land. I also appreciate how respectful the interviewers were.
