Evolution!
In a world such as ours, where technology is upgrading in a rate that we can’t get our heads around, where you can practically get anything online from the things that clothe you to the things that feed you to finding your soul-mate(it’s been known to happen!). We’re in a world that is capable of doing anything, of course, living in certain countries either gives you carte blanche to such facilities or wipes the memory of the word “carte blanche” from your memories the way Will Smith wipes memories with that device of his in Men in Black!
But why is it that I would rather be a in a place stripped from the word high-tech, in a place where I know that the tomatoes I’m eating are freshly grown and not are a result of an over-fertilized greenhouse? Or the mint that I’m having in my tea is one I picked from the small square behind my house I proudly call my garden rather than those foul smelling mints we buy from the market. I swear to you, they don’t even smell like mint anymore, they smell like they’ve been watered by sewage blended in rotten eggs soaked in fish guts that were fed dog shit!!! I put out your appetite, eh?! It wouldn’t have been fair to the mints if I did not do my best to translate my disgust, and trust me, I’m not doing them justice!
My mom wants to buy a piece of land just to start planting her own vegetables and fruit, you are what you eat no? And how can you know who you are if you don’t know what you’re eating? Just because it looks like a cucumber does not mean it is, it sure doesn’t taste like one! It’s like the taste is diluting! And hey, I do want to stay alive and healthy to see what the next generation is going to evolve to. Humans from the outside, and what from the inside?

Was just going to make a post with the same title, will have to change it now :)). Totally agree with you on the food and fertilizers it is really scary and if you thought Libya was bad try buying organic food abroad; they have stores dedicated for them and you have to pay more than double the price for the same stuff !

haha, you dont have to change ur title PH, im sure ppl will notice the difference in our 'evolution's! :)
I knowww, it is sad really, paying more money to get the real stuff! guess it is like that with everything nowadays, not just food!
wonder how its going to be like for the next generation!
Oh, and thanks for stopping by :)

ROMANA you are back :D !!!!!!!!!!!!! I never noticed your blog is up again :D anyway hope you and your family are doing well and are in the best of health :D
Back to the story:
There are two side to any story, as much as I disagree with the over genetic over modified vegs (or maybe find them another futuristic name) but they serve a bigger purpose as some countries cant enjoy the fresh fruit we enjoy plus money makes the world around and everything comes down to efficiency and productivity, however, saying that I do worry about the amounts of pesticides used by farmers in Libya and how the use of these chemicals are uncontrolled
Plot of land? I like the idea it’s a sound investment and source of enjoyment so you can go wrong :)
Its GREAT to have you back :)
Fe Aman Allah

In reply to your question, I'm in Libya on an off and on basis :) still haven't totally settled down because of work; but planning on.
Why are you asking on behalf of Mani ? he has my email ? or is he harjan ?

no, not at all, la 7orjan wala
7aja. Mani was at my office asking me who's still active,gave him a briefing, told him that i thought you were in Libya as a result of reading one of your posts about how hot it is here; hence the comments :)
July 16, 2009 at 6:46 p.m.
long explanation :)) I was just teasing you and pulling your leg; but now that you've given me such a long explanation I'm having second thoughts :)).
If you see him tell him PH says hi ya ma3fin .
P.S. when you delete a comment delete it completely because people can see who deleted the comment.
