  3. I like what Sarah Palin said in her book:

    "But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there's plenty of room for all Alaska's animals -- right next to the mashed potatoes."

    And this one is good too:

    "If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?"


    :D

  5. Sarah Palin is an obvious idiot. I'm not surprised at her ill informed comments, nothing she does or says surprises me.

  6. Results show that, for the combined differential production of 11 food items for which consumption differs among vegetarians and nonvegetarians, the nonvegetarian diet required 2.9 times more water, 2.5 times more primary energy, 13 times more fertilizer, and 1.4 times more pesticides than did the nonvegetarian diet. The greatest contribution to the differences came from the consumption of beef in the diet. We found that a nonvegetarian diet exacts a higher cost on the environment relative to a vegetarian diet. From an environmental perspective, what a person chooses to eat makes a difference.

    The vegetarian group was also found to eat about 150% more legumes and seasonal fruits, 250% more nuts, and 60% fewer eggs.


    Diet and the environment: does what you eat matter :D
