Pass the steak, vegan!
Ahem:
Being aware of the quality and origin of the foods you eat is just plain common sense. However vegetarianism/veganism is out. The movement helped launch widespread attention to issues that inspired it, creating consumer demand for all things organic, local, and sustainable. Congratulations, we won. Now we can eat what our bodies crave (healthier physically and psychologically), and purchase it organically/locally/free rangedly/non-hormonally even at the local Safeway, plus this will stop making you a pain in the ass at dinner parties. Because seriously, at this point it just makes you seem hysterical.
Man, I’ve been waiting for someone to say that. So glad it wasn’t me. Read about this and other things we can do without this coming year in the Portland Mercury’s 20 Things Not Invited Back to 2006!
