EAT LOCAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a link to a recent EPA news item that involves Clean Water Act violations from feedlots.  Summed up: feedlots (beef, chicken, eggs . . ) put so much concentrated waste into waterways that they actually violate federal laws.  IMAGINE how much manure it takes to do that!  Read on:

Why to Eat Local meat and eggs from small farms

Dad's becoming a vegan . . .

So my dad has been keeping me company here in Concord for the past few weeks until Myke can come up and start his job.  We've been having a great time and I'm slowly turning him into a vegan. .  . part of my master plan. . .

Anyway, he claims to really enjoy it and to have better energy and focus, so if anyone is interested in trying it for a week, I will post some recipes.  They're delicious!  As an added benefit, a vegetarian/vegan diet can help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure.  (And these recipes have the added benefit of all-natural cleansing, for you coloniphiles out there).

Just one thing - it's not strictly vegan - we still eat (local) eggs and honey - vegans would frown upon both of these things.  I consider eggs to be half-vegetable in nature and I just really like honey, so deal with it, vegans.

Some famous vegans:

Alicia Silverstone (from some movie I can't remember in the late 90s)
The songwriter from Def Leppard (yes, seriously).  pour some sugar on that, fool
Chewbacca

(so the last one is speculation, but can you disprove it?)
