words i am pondering today



Do your little bit of good where you are; it is those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.--Desmond Tutu

It's What's Not For Dinner

These photos illustrate a very interesting article from The New York Times by Jonathan Safran Foer, called "Against Meat." Personally, I think the photos present an effective argument all by themselves.

Although one could argue the veggies below would not be nearly as appealing if they too were peeled and sectioned.

But I would argue back that in that case they would still be more appetizing.

Still, those oozing, fleshy cuts look great compared with the mental image of ground "beef" I now have after reading another article, also from the NY Times, that was really illuminating about where your hamburger might be coming from: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html?_r=2

I strongly urge all my meat-eating readers to check it out!
