It's Wednesday, and most newspapers have a food-related section today. Same here.
A new natural foods blog, Mighty Foods, has arrived. (via Becks and Posh)
I found this Guardian article on Alex Jamieson, the girlfriend who detoxed Morgan Spurlock after his McDonald's binge, enlightening. Do y'all really think vegans are sickly looking?
Why you should eat green:
The basic rule of thumb is that it takes 2kg of feed to produce every kilogram of chicken, 4kg for pork, and at least 7kg for beef. The more meat we eat, the more grain, soya and other feedstuffs we need. So when we hear that the total global meat demand is expected to grow from 209m tonnes in 1997 to around 327m tonnes in 2020, what we have to hold in our mind is all the extra hectares of land required, all the extra water consumed, the extra energy burned, and the extra chemicals applied to grow the requisite amount of feed to produce 327m tonnes of meat.
But don't get depressed; this doesn't mean all broccoli, all the time. Mustn't forget Twinkies.
