Way to go Bird! I just read this and I am feeling my will-power is going to be motivated by my ethical duty:<BR/><BR/>The statistics say it all:<BR/><BR/>Livestock production generates almost 20 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases -- more than the entire transportation sector. If Americans reduced meat consumption by just 20 percent, it would be as though we all switched from a sedan to a hybrid. (New York Times) <BR/><BR/>Animal factory farms pollute U.S. waterways more than all other industrial sources combined. And you’d save more water by refraining from eating a pound of beef than you would by not showering for an entire year. (E - The Environmental Magazine)<BR/><BR/>Producing 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of beef emits more carbon dioxide than does going for a three-hour drive while leaving all the lights on at home.

I understand your desire for convenience with food choicee & preparation, but I do encourage that you take some time to educate yourself on the effect processed, packaged, non-organic food has on your body. Here are some quick resources: <BR/><BR/>"The impact of our society’s eating habits is playing a tremendous role in the deterioration of our health and the environment. Packaged, processed, genetically-modified, pesticide-laden, chemically-flavored foods are a far cry from resembling a natural food choice. Child-onset diabetes and cancer are a far cry from the conditions children should embrace coming into this world."<BR/><BR/>http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/Dirty-Dozen-Foods<BR/><BR/>http://www.cyberparent.com/organic-food/<BR/><BR/>http://www.skinnybitch.net/index.html<BR/><BR/>And honestly, being vegetarian/organic/healthy does not take much discipline. It is an addictive lifestyle.<BR/><BR/>xox Bird*Bird *https://www.blogger.com/profile/02140905563331154998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259854760591120055.post-45840906591520282802008-12-27T23:40:00.000-06:002008-12-27T23:40:00.000-06:00That's a pretty tall order, I must say.

But you forget, she was set to lose the NH primary, but when she won, many political pundits attributed it to the fact that she finally showed some emotion. What would've seemed "weak" in a male candidate, actually worked to her advantage. <BR/><BR/>That the she toughened up again after that, and never let her guard down for the rest of the campaign, may be one of the reasons why she ultimately lost.J.R.
