… so don't take this so literally.

The more I think about it, the more I think becoming a vegetarian (as opposed to being a carnivore that most of us are, with the exception of a few omnivores and cannibals) is the answer to a lot of our global ills.

If we (or ahem ahem, some nations) went vegan :

1. Whales won’t die, but the downside: we’ll put 1/2 of the Greenpeace employees out of job.
2. The cattle population decreases and our greenhouse gas emissions (methane or rather the carbon dioxide equivalent) will fall – HOOORAY.
3. The not so important issue of global ills is obesity. Eat your greens and lose the weight.
4. Grow more plants = more photosynthesis = more carbon dioxide absorption and increased oxygen production. Who’s talking about clean air???!!! Do this.

How nice. The two biggest environmental issues (and the greatest health risk) are all solved by changing our diets. I must really seriously reconsider the vegan option.

I dislike the images of whales being pulled out of the ocean. (Some or maybe most) Corporations see the ocean is a dumping ground – they throw trash and everything in there. That, the bloodshed and oil spills absolutely sickens me. It makes me roll my eyes and sometimes I get madder, my pupil actually stays up there for a long while. Is it a symptom of a stroke?! OMG. I think it is…!!! So…

It makes sense to start my little resolution by going vegetarian one meal in a week (other than breakfast). The last time I did it for a day, I felt faint and I couldn’t wait to sink my enormous canine tooth into some medium rare steak. Hope I’ll do better this time: for my health and for the environment.
