My PDA tells me that the quarterly dinner for the DC Transhumanists is supposed to be tonight. But I cannot find any references on the web to confirm this....
Hi Harvey, NO meeting is scheduled for JUNE. To be sure, DC Future Salon meetings are usually the FIRST WED of each month. However, our last meeting was two...
Bruce, You're slightly confused here: Harvey was not asking about the DC Future Salon, but rather about another (currently less active) group, the DC ...
Whoops... I confused DC Transhumanist w/ DC Future Salon ;-) Harvey, I don't know if DC Transhumanist meet tonight. ... -- Bruce J. Klein, President Novamente...

By the venue, I'm assuming that the transhuminists aren't all vegetarian, which frankly boggles my mind. Something doesn't quite connect in the logic there -...
Hi Sibley, While hamburgers are clearly not healthy, I don't think it's well-demonstrated that a non-vegetarian diet is necessarily unhealthy. There are pretty...
Wow, I have to say that that is completely wrong. Fish is the largest food product by weight in this country that is not regulated by contents. I've done...
Sibley, I guess this is somewhat off-topic for dcfuture, but it's of interest to me, so I'll continue anyway ;-) Do you feel that the fish on sale locally at...

There is a big distinction between farm-raised fish (articles have suggested not consuming more than 1 portion of farm-raised salmon per month) and wild fish,...

... The vegitarians I've run into have all been emaciated husks for lack of protein. 'nuff said. -- Don't let your schoolwork get in the way of your learning. ...
Alan, that is just foolish! Vegetarianism, done properly, is definitely a healthy diet ... and furthermore, I've known plenty of overweight "junk food ...

Thanks to Harvey Newstrom for his well written and thoughtful contribution to this thread. I agree on all of his points though do not yet use or test flax...

Harvey, (At the risk of extending the discussion, if not life.) Regarding butter/margarine products, there's a product called "Smart Balance Light" which feeds...
