Boondoo said cassava, yam, sweet potato, and banana were some of the crops that could be used to produce healthy and gluten-free flour substitutes.

Government serious about anything ? When we reach the point where that devaluation has no choice but to occur and everything raises once again, we will have no other option but to change lifestyles
Ppl will have to cut back on certain things , the value of the dollar is weakening even further so they will have to spendDizzy28 wrote:Locally produced alternatives to wheat flour probably would still not be cheaper than wheat flour.
Are people willing to pay a premium for it?hover11 wrote:Farmers: Government not serious about flour alternatives

hence the high prices
for meat govt need to seriously look at farming capybara
they seem to be well adapted to our conditions with no ailments or natural predators here and eating grass, no fancy feed required
only catch is they prefer to be close to water

Nice idea, but it not practical, and not because of their affinity for living in and close to water.
Capybara are VERY selective and picky about what they eat. Yeah, they eat grasses, but only certain ones, particularly para grass and young corn plants from what I observe. They also eat river lilies.
What would work a bit better, would be increasing their populations in the wild.
Because at the end of the day, at the rate things going this place, people might not be able to afford to buy even local produce eventually, much less meat. So at least the skilled hunter can still find something to cook and feed people, and the unskilled novice could try to hunt and ketch something and possibly succeed, instead of the alternative of starving to death.
Another alternative easy to farm is rabbit. They are smaller and more manageable, multiply and grow fast, eat practically any grass you give them, they produce delicious high quality high protein low cholesterol meat, and their manure is extremely good for farming agricultural crops, and can be done to scale according to personal needs.
But is if them idiots could figure that out, as well as a way to develop and encourage it

from my attempts to make doubles I would think far from it. in fact it might be in the order of 25cents or so.
more so for the expert bara makers who make it paper thin.
to me the bigger cost of a doubles is the channa and oil

Doubles is unhealthy AF, I remember when it was $1 for one and now it is 6 LOL , talking about they making losses. They pay no NIS, tax or anything but always driving up their prices cool let the market decide
