The recommendation to eat minimally-cooked sprouted pinto beans seems absolutely crazy to me, seeing as phytohaemaglutinin concentration supposedly increases in soaked/sprouted pinto beans and isn't destroyed by light cooking.

Slow-cooking food in a thermos is genius. The solar still designs are interesting but seem like they're not really built to be taken apart and cleaned / repaired. I'd also be a little worried about the various glues offgassing. The "live food" stuff continues to strike me as crankery.

Ah, the 80s, when you could bring dried fruit back into the US from foreign countries to sell without a permit or anything.

Dude's wrong about spirulina's B-12 content too (it's not bioavailable).
