@ryttu3k have you tried Tofutti? It's kind of overly sweet but I loved it. Also have you tried lactase supplements?

I especially love that POM makes the claim while selling it in plastic containers, which is suspect in heart disease.

Brilliant, @Minute42. Thank you for that info. I can't wait to try it this summer!

Does anyone know if these can be container grown? I met a woman at the farmer's market selling container grown strawberries; and they even grow wild in our region! I'd love to show my displeasure with these new overpriced, tasteless strawberries, even some of the farmers are growing the lousy stuff now.

Lactose "intolerance" is not an allergy but rather a missing enzyme (lactase). I hear you can take lactase as a supplement but I'm not sure how well that works. For recipes, can you simply ignore the gluten free ingredients and use (flour, etc) instead? I know for baking it's a huge cluster---- because the chemistry must be just right; but for something like gluten-dairy free pasta dishes you'd just use real pasta. One time I wanted to use eggs in an egg free recipe, the cookies came out all bubbly. My boyfriend called them "cookie cakes", LOL.

Yum, I'm going to try this with salmon. My boyfriend found a place where it's only line caught. Thank you!! I would add just one other thing, wild caught especially non-bottom trawling is better than farmed fish as it pollutes the ocean and fish actually have to be caught and fed to the fish or they use grains = land use as well. Also no omega 3s in tilapia, only 6s.

Thanks, I'd love one of these just on roasting, as that's all I'm good at right now.

I'm just starting a hectic work season again so I can't get enough of these for a long day at work (and on the trails). Thank you!!

@ineptbutintrepid I was mostly "responding to the responses" about how this is done in other ways, like art or environmental projects, which it also is. I haven't seen scientific studies on this, but some botanists I've spoken to strongly disagree that this is the way to deal with excessive sunlight.

Trees use bark throughout their entire life. It protects them from excessive heat, cold, fire, insect and mechanical damage. University of Virginia extension even discourages wrapping. At the very least we should appreciate this living thing for what it is instead of feeling the need to make it brighter for our short attention spans.
