Fantastic article.  A study at Carnegie Melon proved that one DAY of eating vegan is better for the environment than a WEEK of eating local, so there you go!

Right on, Mehgan!  The defensiveness of these meatheads speaks volumes.  It seems but a waste of time to try and reason with those whose minds are truly closed or to attempt to touch the heartstrings of those whose hearts are, sadly, quite calloused.  We aren’t the first to be ridiculed by the masses for advocating peace and harmlessness.

For more info on hunting, check out the excellent book, “The American Hunting Myth.”  And also be sure to go to http://www.HumaneMyth.org for more info about so-called “humane slaughter,” “free-range,” etc.

While it remains true that Stewart is known for his abrasive style, this doesn’t in the least negate the message and the Truth of the facts herein presented.

Peace out!

I agree with the author’s “there are good reasons to support local farms”.

For the most part, I want to buy local food because that local dollar has a better chance of getting back to me, or one of my neighbors or friends, than a dollar I spend on non-local food.

It IS cheap (in terms of dollars) to ship food all over the country.  If that food distribution network significantly increased the cost of foods, then consumers would buy the local stuff (instead of that expensive California food!) instead.  People are buying food shipped in from remote locations like the Central Valley, largely because that food is cheaper than their other options. 

If there’s a “hidden cost” in that a lot of energy is being used to get that food from CA to NC, then look at the article.  What does it say?  Four percent of the GGEs associated with that food are being emitted during the transportation phase.  In other words, getting that food from CA to NC doesn’t greatly increase the GGE emissions associated with that food.

ah, right, i always forget cullen is a veggie.
