The new low-carb(on) diet

The front page of the LA Times had this amazing graphic this morning - presumably for Earth Day. This is a great example of what I frequently refer to as new reasons for doing old things. In other words, in the words of my friend Nathan Brown (who will again be visiting me next week), "Ironic, isn't it, that in our world today two of the most counter cultural things individuals can do to enact peace and justice is to keep the Sabbath and be a vegetarian?"

So, check out this graphic, read the story here, and imagine that there are other (perhaps bigger) motivations for being vegetarian than merely personal health and well-being, as important as that is.

I have seen this and it's great! A lot of people have blogged about it, so I haven't blogged it, but maybe I will now that you mention it. Thanks for bringing it up.

But what would happen to our potlucks if we cut back on cheese consumption? Tragedy I'm certain!
