It would be nice if our elected officials actually had our best interests at heart, rather than big business and big dollars. -- Naive, I know... Bea, Thanks for sharing the link. I really like Bittman's voice. Although he's not promoting the message you'd like, imagine the impact. If we can get mainstream America to cut out even one day's meat consumption per week, imagine how impactful that could be. Hi Mindy... Looks like I'm preaching to the choir, eh? ;-) Hi Kate,

Although not veg*an the message is clear: Animal agriculture is contributing a large portion to global warming. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/263 A good talk as he also makes mention of the rampant use of pharmecuitcals (and a tiny bit about animal welfare).....

Unless it makes money for somebody, the people with influence are not interested, and reducing consumption (of anything - not just meat) goes against the dominant culture of materialism.
