Nude power. Environmental activists in London have stripped off for the cause, staging a nude bike ride through the city streets. The ride follows similar events in Washington DC and Barcelona. About 1,200 people took part. Clearly the moral of the story is if you want people to listen, take off your clothes! — Green Daily
McCain the greenie? Republic presidential candidate John McCain has shed his clean green image in recent days. First he announced he would lift the ban on offshore oil drilling in the US, before calling for the construction of 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030. While nuclear reactors don’t leave a carbon footprint, they do create nuclear waste which cannot be disposed of. — USA Today
Oh, Al! Environmental campaigner Al Gore is hot water again after it was revealed his electricity consumption has gone up again after he promised to cut down. Gore’s eight-bathroom house uses nearly 20 times the electricity of an average American house every year. But it’s ok – he drives a Prius. — The Australian
This is a mush room story for the qualified vegetarian.
Vegetarian, vegetarian, vegetarian is just too unsophisticated for science.
It starts way before grass, but taking off at that point, the new vegetarian which is the backward one advanced, evolved you might say to understand the cow, sheep, goat or what ever the vegetarian thinks we eat that they wouldn’t (camel, rabbit, chicken, turkey, fish, turtle), eggs and milk also (not human of course) are really extensions of the vegetable. When the extension animal is a horse and the provider of human transport for sport, work or survival all we humans have this thing about eating them. When it’s the cow that hangs about to be eaten it’s the grass trying to provide man with the Vitamin B12 he desperately needs. The ‘big picture’ is about connectedness in nature not peripheral vision. Nature owns the plot while we loose it congratulating ourselves when we discover magnificent bits of it under surface scratches that we inflict in our frenzy to discover more as we hand out our the conclusions of ‘the know it all’. Nature is allowed to string the multitude of metabolic factories we need into a grass extension called cow with the added metabolic chemical synthesizing factories grass doesn’t have but just the ones we need. Nature first revealed this along time ago when we started eating them with no understanding and became over a foot taller immediately. Vegetarians were mushrooms when they thought mushrooms were vegetable. We were all in the dark till we scratched up the knowledge that the vegetable half of mushrooms has no vitamin B12.
Soon the Society to Save Mushrooms from Human Teeth and Cooking Pots will mean that sexy vegetarians will face the unsexy dilemma of selfishly relegating their future offspring to devolution to 4 foot 6. Mushrooms don’t mind being half animal flesh and vegetarians believe they don’t mind being eaten so dribble OFF.
