this kid does not look malnourished, rather seems well looked after... skin and hair show no disease nor any obvious sign of deficiency ... that one would expect in kids who go out and eat non-edible things....
than... question you must raise Mr. Vikram... is why does he eat these fruits... just to be part of a crowd, on a dare???? ========== The biodiesel programme that started with a lot of fanfare and foreign and local cos planted thousands of acres of fertile lands.... for what purpose... it does not seem to have gone any where... what are the reasons for such pell mell running after fads... who gives permission, who allows companies to buy up land and plant stuff that may no pan out and makes our poor farmers further poor.... I hope you will ask HARD questions.... \ ======= usha di On Jan 11, 9:19 pm, Vijayasankar <[email protected]> wrote: > Vikram jit ji, > > Yes, this is *Jatropha curcas* belonging to the Euphorbiaceae plant family. > It is commonly known as Biodiesel plant, Barbados Nut, Purging Nut and > Physic Nut.
