Well, that's one way to make being a manchild sound noble.

define manchild

[Hitchens]

Someone who expects others to take their advice on life seriously when they themselves live a life of pampered luxury with little to no responsibilities.

Oh ok, so you're talking about someone else.

[Hasbinbad]

I mean, I do live a life of pampered luxury with leather bound books and rooms that smell of aged mahogany and cognac, but I have responsibilities to match such a life.

I think you meant to say "healthy," implying that they are as healthy as normal crops, but this would not produce crops that were "healthier" than normal crops grown on non-depleted soil.

Crop rotation was invented to fix the devastation caused to soil ecosystems by monoculture.

That's pretty much exactly what I was saying in the post you quoted. Complete with me saying that crops grown with crop rotation were healthier than crops grown on depleted soil.

So, pardon my French, but c'est quoi ce bordel? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They are no healthier than their natural state. They are healthier than they otherwise would be, in their fucked up monoculture state. These are two different things. Do you understand that with English as a second language or should I explain what I mean further so that we can at least agree on what each other means? (not sarcastic)

I think the meaning you're thinking of for "healthier" is the meaning I think of for "more nutritious," whereas the meaning I had in mind was more along the lines of "in good health, not being sick or weakened by substandard soil conditions."

Also yes I took my sweet time getting back to this thread.
