In a Vegetarian Kitchen
Recipes galore! They’re so simple too! A lot of these use recurring ingredients and can be prepared in under 10 minutes from fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking out.
Laboratory grown meat could be just around the corner
BBC: An international research team has proposed new techniques that may lead to the mass production of meat reared not on the farm, but in the laboratory.
Developments in tissue engineering mean that cells taken from animals could be grown directly into meat in a laboratory, the researchers say. Scientists believe the technology already exists to directly grow processed meat like a chicken nugget. The technology could benefit both humans and the environment.
“With a single cell, you could theoretically produce the world’s annual meat supply. And you could do it in a way that’s better for the environment and human health. (more…)
The Wheel 'O Yum
Is this scene familiar?
You’re standing in the parking lot with several co-workers trying to decide where to eat lunch.
Where are we going for lunch?
I don’t know…how about you?
Doesn’t matter to me, where do you want to go?
How about pizza?
Pizza again?
So where do you want to go?
I don’t care…whatever you guys want.
. . .
The Wheel O Yum helps eliminate these mind-bending decisions. It accepts votes from each person and constructs a wheel to spin for an answer to that dreaded decision:
Where do you want to go today?

My shame
I just sat down to a late breakfast of Gold Top milky tea, toasted mozzarella, feta, tomato and mango chutney, and a tub of Yeo Valley plum yoghurt… and realised just what a big fat consumer of milk products I am.
Over two months ago I tried for a week to eat vegan only. The plan was to do a vegan week each month and cut down on my milk consumption… but I kept cheating and by the end of the week I realised I had failed. Miserably. And I cried out of frustration at being so pathetic I couldn’t bear to live without milk for longer than two days. I also cried at being such a sore loser.
Vegans get a lot of flack for their “special diet” and are generally seen as being picky and too fussy. I now have the HUGEST respect for anyone who has gone vegan for their part in reducing the impact we all have on our environment, and for the welfare of all animals. It’s bloody hard to be vegan. Support anyone who is strong enough to do it, because they’re doing their bit to lessen the impact of all our ecological footprints, and because you probably couldn’t do it if you tried.
*and that was another DARE!*
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
