It actually does say that in the 'Feeding' section in the begining of the book. In the copy I have it is on page 20[b said:Quote[/b] ] I was wondering why such an expert as D'Amato would say that.
But the next sentence says[b said:Quote[/b] ]Carnivorous plants will also sometimes eat human food. (I am not suggesting you feed your plants humans, since this is highly illegal....) Some CPs will accept and even drool over tiny bits of raw hamburger, cheese, powdered milk, and even chocolate (female plants).
[b said:Quote[/b] ]But these food products may be harmful to your plant, especially if they are overfed.
Air circulations are important? Care to elaborate on that? For example, my VFT spends its time on my window-sill, right next to a big window that is open all year round, and the curtains (drapes) are pretty much closed all the time too.[b said:Quote[/b] (jimscott @ April 30 2005,11:39)]Also, more important than live food are: light, water (not tap), air circulations, and dormancy.

Wow, you're a wuss.[b said:Quote[/b] ]You could but who wants to touch and cut apart raw hamburger?
LMAO[b said:Quote[/b] ]and even chocolate (female plants).
as I reccall he didnt say that, but simply told the story on where that theory came from(he afterwards said its best not to feed your plants hamburger)[b said:Quote[/b] (cebryan @ April 30 2005,6:17)]I just ordered my first flytrap after reading a copy of The Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato. In his book he notes that it's ok to sometimes feed the planet hamburger yet I read on this website that peoplefood will kill your plant. Who's correct?
