Aren’t all vegtables grown in animal crap? Fertilizer doesn’t come from angels.
I can’t resist... Jewish mysticism describes the “Downchaining of worlds...” Basically, trying to bridge the gap between all-powerful, infinite G-d...and lowly, physical planet/inhabitants. It’s also known as Kabbala.
THE POINT: that a lower level comes from the “waste” of the upper level. And the statement in this discipline is literlly that physicality comes from the “excrement” of angels. In fact, a Russian chassidic desciple came to New York City in the early 20th century, saw the skyscrapers and said, “The angels really crapped big here...”
I just had to relate the story. Oh, and I eat mostly organic, by virtue of Mrs Phinneous. I tend to believe anecdotally in what the proponents of organic say...while she reads up about the studies on it. Our kids seem, thank G-d, very healthy in terms of lack of ear infections, colds, etc. Is this a crack in my ultra-right-wing armor?
