Is Todd Palin a moron?
According to first dude Todd Palin (husband of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and father of pregnant teenager mom Bristol Palin) that it is important to have a ticket that “supports our core values — hunting and fishing.”
Hmmm….that is news to me. I always believed that America’s core values were hard work, freedom, and meritocracy. If all Americans did is hunt and fish, we will be a bunch of hunters and gatherers, not the most powerful nation on earth.
What kind of moron is this guy? I guess he should just keep his mouth shut because he knows nothing about America. Plus, it is a fact that indiscriminate hunting and fishing will simply destroy our ecosystem and cause enormous damage to our country.
Moose killer Sarah Palin
It will be a sad day for (apart from Americans) animals and wildlife in America if Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is elected as the vice president. Apart from doing everything possible to destroy the environment in Alaska through her irresponsible call for drilling in ANWR, she has also promoted merciless killing of wolves (through a monetary incentive using taxpayer dollars). In this photo the so-called hockey mom Sarah Palin attempts to prove that somehow unless you mercilessly kill helpless animals you are not a real woman. I thought real women were nurturing creatures that provided comfort and protection to the weakest and vulnerables.
How to become a flexitarian?
Previously I talked about how to give up meat just once a week to make a positive impact on the environment (yes there are 10 pounds burgers being sold in restaurants). I have friends for whom it is inconceivable that there can be a meal without meat or that human beings can live without consuming a big piece of steak on their dinner plate each night. The reality is that probably billions of people do not eat meat either because they are too poor to afford it or increasingly for health or environment of animal rights issues.
One of the easiest ways to become a vegetarian eventually is to become a flexitarian first. A flexitarian is one who is flexible. She can survive mostly on a vegetarian diet but when she feels like it or is at a party/restaurant where she may not have a choice, she just orders a meat dish.
Now Dawn Jackson Blatner has an excellent book called “The Flexitarain Diet — The Mostly Vegetarian Way To Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease, And Add Years To Life” on living a flexitarian lifestyle. I have been a flexitarian now for over 15 years and I am in excellent health. I do not think I have seen a doctor for an illness during this period. My BMI is very low, and while I exercise regularly and watch what I eat, I would definitely say that eating fiber-rich and low calorie vegetable dishes definitely helps. I have no scientific evidence that my diet is prevening me from getting any diseases or putting me on a trajectory of living longer, I do know that it is possible to live well and enjoy a variety of great dishes without using any meat at all.
