  • George F. Will consistently cherry-picks data and reports to buttress his carefully-crafted agenda. He tries to come off as middle-of-the-road and scholarly, but his motives are clear and he tries to mislead subtly.  I guess since he got away with the global warming lies a couple of times, he went for the hat trick but finally got called out. He got cocky and sloppy, as they all do.

  • Being a vegetarian is easier than you think

    I have been a vegetarian for 3.5 years and have never been stronger or healthier. I am training to run a marathon next month, have added muscle while reducing fat from my body, and sleep better than ever. It is very simple: eat a variety of foods and you will get all the protein you need.

    If you eat a steak, your body cannot use all of the protein in it. I don't know the exact numbers, but most of the protein in the steak gets flushed away.

    The environmental benefits of not eating meat are huge. I am glad that I have given up meat.  I have no cravings to ever sneak a burger.  I just wish it had not taken me 40 years to become a vegetarian.

    In addition to the environmental benefits and the health benefits of giving up meat, there is also the moral benefit.  Just watch the video at this site for a few minutes:  http://www.meat.org/
    If you can watch this and then go and order up a steak or some chicken fingers with a clear conscience, then I guess I have no idea how to reach you.
