I do not remember the last time I was sick. In the last 6 years I have lost 5 friends to cancer (three more with prostate cancer in remission after surgery, and another getting chemo for throat cancer), and four friends from heart disease. Two more died from alcoholism. I also quit drinking 15 years 10 months ago(as of 4-15-12), and quit smoking 8 years ago (as of 4-4-12). As far as environmental damage from growing and transporting herbs, they are relatively light weight and growing mainly in areas they are native to, except in some boutique gardens/greenhouses, and shelf pots. Eventually, as transportation gets more expensive with oil depletion, spices will go up in price similar to what they were in pre-industrial times. Total nutrition will be less available and diseases will increase rapidly.
