Our herbivore friends love telling us that vegetarianism is how they battle climate change - meat production is totally energy inefficient compared to plant production, and cows, specifically, produce a hell of a lot of methane. It's a compelling argument, and yeah, we'd probably have a tough time reading an article on global warming while eating most burgers without feeling the distinct pangs of cognitive dissonance. So when the Norwegian whaling lobby pulled the climate change card to defend hunting whales, we did a double take. Rune Froevik, head of a Norwegian whaling lobby, is heady with their new study claiming the greenhouse impact of eating eight meals of whale is equivalent to eating only one meal of beef. "Basically," Froevik says, "It turns out that the best thing you can do for the planet is to eat whale meat compared to other types of meat." Hmm, maybe. Of course, any wild-caught food -- including game, fish, and, yes, whale, or a vegetarian diet -- will reduce greenhouse emissions compared to ranched beef. And the study doesn't consider whether contributing to the ongoing mass extinction of oceanic megafauna in the service of greenhouse reduction is ethically or ecologically defensible and supportable. Japan and Norway, the last surviving whaling nations still bucking the 22-year-old international moratorium on whaling, are starting to get a little desperate for reasons to keep the practice going. The Japanese have started turning whale into school cafeteria mystery-meat; the Norwegians are playing to the global warming crowd. One wonders if the pangs of cognitive dissonance are starting to get to them, too.

This is an interesting take on the concept. I never thought of it that way. I came across this site recently which I think will be of great use www.whales.org.za . Check it out!
Big thanks for keeping me entertained.

If they normally wear running shoes all the time, they will be back and joint pain and could not walk a litter more. But if they wear MBT shoes, the situation is quite different. They feel their feet are strong and was not tired, even if they run a long time. So they can finish their work effectively.hlm

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply.CLS http://www.timberland6inch.com/

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
