The indigenous people of the Americas knew something that the Europeans had forgotten long ago.
People do not live upon the land, they live with the land, part of the greater whole that is our mother earth.
Without understanding that what you do to the land, you also do to yourself and all others, ultimate destruction is imminent, only a matter of when, not if, this ultimate destruction will happen.
If earth is going to be able to support all the human life that is growing in population by millions every year, current agricultural practices are going to have to be changed drastically.
"Big Ag" will fight the needed changes tooth and nail to the bitter end, after all, we are talking about chopping their profits by billions of dollars and they are a greedy lot.
What must be done now, at this very moment, is to grow the soil that has been laid waste and turned into dirt.
Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.
Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!

2. If, as the more extreme climate change climatologists suggest, the climate will significantly change in the next decade bringing a much warmer environment north which will change what will grow, will that also change the microbes etcetera in the soil? If so, can the microbes / soil from a warmer healthy climate today be transported to a newly warmer area? Basically, it is possible to regenerate the soil for a warmer environment from the past colder locations?

There's a typo. You wrote: So, what these newcomers did was build a small fort and houses with in the walls of the stockade style fort. This was to keep them save from the “savages”.
It should be: ...SAFE not SAVE from the "savages." Also, as wrong as it seems in this instance with only one word being defined, the period goes inside the quotations. That is, unless you're British and writing in the "Kings Language".
----no I didn't know all of that about quotes, I looked it up.

As someone with bipolar from a family of people with bipolar (which shares some symptoms with autism), I wonder if the genetic factors might be metabolic - that is, a genetic tendency to not be able to metabolize some nutrients from a sub-optimum diet.

Bryant RedHawk wrote:hau Molly, sadly, there are study results that show that the lack of nutrition in today's foods are indeed a huge factor in the rising occurrence of Diabetes, Autism, Alzheimer's and other forms of Dementia.
Laboratory testing shows that when subjects are given a diet rich in nutrient rich foods, these diseases diminish in their intensity and some cases have even reversed completely.
This means that even though there might be a gene link that predisposes the patient to the disease onset, that proper nutrition vales in their foods can stave off the onset timing.
In the case of Diabetes, it has been shown that onset can be triggered by obesity and conversely Diabetes can be reversed by the patient loosing the excess weight and changing to a higher nutrition value diet.
The Alzheimer's study is showing that by changing the diet to high nutrient rich foods has the ability to reduce the effects of the disease and in two cases it has reversed the disease almost completely.
Currently there are at least a dozen of these studies underway and all the results are showing that the food available to people is making them sick because it is nutrient poor.
The reason the foods are nutrient poor is because of how they are grown with artificial fertilizers and the use of insecticides and herbicides, the people that grow the food for grocery stores are not giving us good, healthful food.
The reason for that can be shown to be the methods they use to grow those foods.
