Travel Time and Food Machines

Explanation for blog neglecting:  I've been busy helping Boyfriend of SkepticRD move his parents cross county.  His dad has Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease, so while I'm getting to see a large part of beautiful country, it's been kind of exhausting since we have to stop more frequently so he can receive help to do things that the rest of take for granted, like coughing.  But, he is an amazing man and scientist who still wants to work, and he has plenty of ideas that he wants to put out there, and I am honored to be helping him out even if my major role is to help his son not get Road Trip Rage.

One of his ideas, relevant to a nutrition blog, is his creation of something simply called the Food Machine.  I will let the video do the explaining, but suffice to say it's a machine that uses highly oxygenated water to create a mini-mixed farm of vegetables and fish to help feed hungry people using a minimum of space.  If you are part of an organization like a school and/or university that can supply the human power to have your own system, you can get involved here.

The next couple days are not to be as travel heavy.  You're probably expecting me to write about eating on the road aren't you?  Maybe I can oblige.
