Quality not quantity, Debbyski girl.

A thought. Seeds on the ground bit. Not sure if a bit of racism or sexism but I read somewhere that in Africa they never waste male protein! Some ClipMarks expert will enlighten me on my useless bits of knowledge.

I read that somewhere in Africa they eat dirt.
hmmm add some protein to that dirt and at least it would be nutritious.
