My coworker brought in this yummie cake. It doesn't contain any of my rhubarb, but I found out that some of my rhubarb that I gave her is currently being processed into rhubarb schnapps.

Tofu and veggies too numerous to list here.

Sauces were peanut, Mongol mustard, yellow curry and an assortment of juices, broths, and oils.

Loving it. And low calorie too.

I understand now why Americans die early of chronic diseases. I would never normally eat something as atrocioius as an Asiago egg n chee bagel from Panera, but my carpool buddy wanted to stop there on the way to work, so I am experimenting.

It is vegetarian in a remote, ovo-lacto sort of way.

Not Veg But Eco Friendly Dinner

I had to use up the bison meat I got at the farmer's market a couple of weeks ago. At least bison is an eco friendly, grass fed meat. Since the reason I am doing this vegetarian thing is largely ecological, I will let it slide and you should too.

As soon as I use up my remaining eggs I can shift to lacto only vegetarianism and if I can forego cheese, I will whenever I can.

A Couple Weeks of Vegetarianism for the Heck of It

0 comments

My June project to go on an "information fast" has been lackluster at best.

I know it won't kill me to avoid all news and media for a month. But I feel compelled to check out interesting news and keep myself informed about current events (now that the charlatan Republicans are screwing everything up).

So starting this week, I am going to change projects. I have been reading "World on the Edge" by Lester R. Brown, and it made me realize what a massive impact meat eating and the associated agricultural meat industry has on the environment and human health.

Many people, when they drive past a midwestern conrfield, assume that all the acres of corn everywhere is sweet corn, for human consumption.

Think again.

99.9% of the corn in American cornfields is essentially meat and food additives (corn oil, corn sugar, corn starch, etc.). And some of it is ethanol to offset our consumption of fossil fuels.

It takes 10 times more land area to grow an animal for food than to grow vegetable based foods on the same land.

And the waste...the industrial chicken farm about four miles from my home is a disgusting cesspool of death and chicken crap, which they spread all over the nearby fields and it smells to high heaven.

So that's the plan. Stay tuned.
