Ok, I have to confess something. I am an Insectivore.
Yes, I am a bi-lobed, mono stomached, microbacillic Insectivore. That means I evolved from a long line of organisms that ate insects, and the food of insects; fruits, vegetables and rotted flesh (cooked is just artificially rotting the meat, breaking it down so our stomach bacteria can eat it). We cannot be classified as omnivores, as unlike some of them we don't eat "anything" in the way lichens eat rocks.
Like many people in the western world who have better dining options, I have experimented with "going vegetarian" yet found myself craving animal flesh. I knew it was wrong for karma, I knew it was harmful from an environmental point of view, and even for health. For that last reason alone I have reduced my animal product intake to 200gms of meatloaf a week, 5 to 7 eggs, and one litre of skimmed milk. I eat a bag of oranges, a banana a day, dates, pastas, stir fried rice and veggies (I guess the oyster sauce counts as animal) and some chocolates and sweets. But now I think I will explore a better option, which will require some creative explorations in the kitchen once again...
My good friend Chris has told me he is on the Paleolithic Diet, also known as the Neanderthal Diet, in where you're supposed to eat lots of meat, veggies and no glutens at all. He swears that his health completely turned around from it, but after watching this talk by Dr Klapper about Foods that Kill, I have to say this is the best ever and most compelling rational for a plant based diet. Watch it and see for yourself, and don't forget to Like It if you like it!
While progressives make progress on the legal front in ending prohibition (Prohibition is a great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which the American government was founded.) Here are some innovative eco-conscious entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom in full effect bringing back the industrial uses of this environmentally friendly plant, as this video explains;

Man marries pillowTrue love can take many forms. In this case, it has taken the form of a Korean man falling in love with, and eventually marrying, a large pillow with a picture of a woman on it. Lee Jin-gyu fell for his 'dakimakura' - a kind of large, huggable ...
Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni 'both having affairs' Rumours that French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are both having affairs are gaining momentum in France.

Seeking alternatives for developing autonomous regeneration of the environment? Tired of pollution causing damaging weather changes because of the choices we citizens make? The climate is our commons; it is the root of the world's communities.
Deep thinking will be needed, depending on the dilemma facing Earth. Ecological and economic matters will suffer equally from our emission-based energies.
Energy has lasting environmental impacts, something environmentalist groups have warned about for years. Environmentalists are not just people passing moral judgment, they are just keenly aware that resources are finite.
Food, fossil fuels and the markets, are global as is their impact. How great it would be if we could green the earth and grow the economy? A cleaner environment contributes to better health, helping us begins by learning how industrial activities can merge into the ecologically sound lifestyle.
There is no limit on what we can do if we keep in mind local impact of our production with the moral clarity of our obligation to protect Mother Nature. A new organic Participatory ecology is forming; we can no longer turn blind eyes to the actions of those who pollute.
We can preserve future growth by recognizing the problems, establishing protocols, and setting benchmarks for recognizing pollution reduction. Instead of exploiting the earth's natural resources, we will rely on renewable resources to save our legacy.
If this makes sense to you, and you're serious about finding a solution for earth restoring technological advances, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Share with us ideas, problems, experiences with new technologies and environmental trends about restoring nature's right to clean water and abundant wildlife.
