Standing on the shoulders of giants. Giants with dirt under their nails
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

So what of dehydrated meats

I must admit that I'm far more concerned with the pesticides and herbicides that store bought foods

So I've a good idea just how much of the 'pink salt' goes into these items. About a pinch, in a 5lb batch of bacon, sausage, or ham, a tad more, in the corned beef & pastrami. Seriously. I agree that we should all be aware of what is in our foods, but I must admit that I'm far more concerned with the pesticides and herbicides that store bought foods - all of them, from our strawberries to our butter - are so fully saturated with.
