Hi Tracy,

I'm wondering if since you are growing/raising/hunting
most of your own food (which is great from
culinary-spiritual standpoint), you have a lot of
extra around, and feel an obligation to eat it? I know
I feel an almost moral pang about wasting food, and I
haven't even had any kind of relationship with it
while it was alive. If so, you might want to think
about how to deal with this "production issue." It's
definitely easier to resist the call of the fridge if
there isn't a whole lot in it.

The water bit seems right on. You'll find a bunch of
other pro-water posts in the archive.

Welcome and good luck! And thanks for the detailed
post. It's helpful for people to see the exact issues
other people are confronting. Feel free to bug us as
other things come up.
