Excuse us while we quote liberally from The Australian‘s Saturday editorial:
If that’s food for thought, we’re still hungry.
Who, or what, is a “global warming faithful”? And what do they have to do with Kim Beazley’s sore knees? If this editorial reflects the quality of coverage on climate science from the national broadsheet in an election year, then everyone’s in trouble, regardless of the position they take. Now pass the gravy.
Gravy is cornflour, flavour and colouring, so that would be vegetarian.
And if the clown hadn’t been so usually preoccupied with the Right, and looked at the other half of that big picture , there is a “left”, of “North America” he could have seen “Vancouver – where the Winter Olympics come from and the snow doesn’t”?
Don’t optometrists advertise in that pre-used toilet paper – or are “staff” just there to “decorate”, and can’t bring themselves to read it?
Geez that’s a worry.
It’s called ‘playing to a market’ – a newspaper survival tale.
What’s strange is how at odds this playing is with their mandate to impartially report the news.
So it is a UK study where 94% of the products talked about are imported, hence big carbon footprint, and it assumes that vegetarians look for heavily processed substances that look and feel and taste like meat – meat substitutes. Wrong.
Not all the ‘global warming faithful’ are vegetarians (is that what the Oz is suggesting?). I’m terrified of climate change and applaud any efforts to address it – but a meatless society isn’t a solution. See Lierre Keith’s ‘Vegetarian Myth’.
