Understood on that distinction.

Just trying to say humans and animals' muscle system are the first hybrids in concept.

Driving a Prius today has one thing in common with the horse-and-buggy days of a hundred years ago - if you drove full throttle, you get exhaustion.

Humans (and animals) are not designed to go full throttle for a sustained period of time - it would not be healthy.

When I see guys speeding around on the roads, it seems less natural than a race horse on steroids. :blink:

Hybrid cars are closer to nature than conventional vehicles - that's what I was trying to say.

Guess I'm done on this point.

I wash all veggies with water, and if I feel any kind of slimyness, with soap too so that any non-water based pesticides are removed. Then I happily eat the peel. For one, I like the taste, and second, that is where a lot of the nutritional value is for many a veggie.

I know discarding peel is culturally prevalent in the US, but nowhere else I have visited in the world. IMO, it is just one more poor dietary habit best changed.

As for removing seeds from veggies -- I had never heard of that. I can tell you after eating seeds for years though, that not one has sprouted ;-)

I think the term you're looking for is "peel," as in "peel a cucumber." But I totally got what you were saying...

Thanks for the recipe. I'm gonna have to try it!
