The Joy of

Right now, someone is probably making a nice big sandwich piled high with delicious turkey leftover from yesterday's big feast! Bread slathered with mayo and maybe a little lettuce. But mostly turkey! They - whoever "they" are - say that turkey is actually good for you! Good source of protein or something - without a bunch of fat! Please pass the mayo....

I'm more into beef. Roast beef. Any beef. I love rib eyes and filets and TBones! And ribs and links and a great big, juicy hamburger now and then. Who knew that eating such delights would further global warming and the ruin of our environment.

A recent study, undoubtedly funded by government grants, reports that methane gas emitted by cattle is causing harm to our environment. The folks who offer these findings suggest that reducing the number of cattle raised for beef consumption will result in less harm to the ozone layer.

In my quest towards eating healthy I guess eating less of those tasty meats I so enjoy will eventually help improve our Earth's fragile environment!

So why not make lunch today with some good old fashion peanut butter - undoubtedly derived from pesticide-laden peanuts grown in ultra fertilized soil shedding nitrogen into our streams and rivers. Or I could roll the dice and buy some organic spinach and hope it lacks any strains of salmonella. Or bite into a tasty apple chock full of pesticide residue.

Or, Maybe I'll just fast today!
