Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
For most of the years of my life, my family has eaten string beans as the main vegetable for Christmas dinner. We don't do the traditional green bean casserole, instead choosing to steam them and dress them with butter, toasted almonds, salt and a little roasted garlic. They are so good and my sister, mother and I often fight over the leftovers the next day.
However, this year we're planning on deviated from our tradition in order to have a huge bowl of these Brussels Sprouts instead. Sadly, according to our friends over at Green Daily, Brussels Sprouts are not a particularly green choice for the holiday table. Apparently the seem to have the ability to cause some people to have a bit of gas after they eat them. If you multiply that gas over the millions of people who eat sprouts for Christmas dinner, it can have something of an effect on the green house effect. Luckily, for those of us who don't want to give up our sprouts, we can follow these simple cooking tips in order to reduce their gassy effects.

But, speaking as a liberal/hippie/greenie, avoiding them because the resulting farts contribute to global warming is one of the most inane things I've heard in quite some time. The collective farts of ten thousand people don't do as much damage as one airline flight.
Should we avoid cabbage, beans, lentils, and broccoli to save the planet, too, or just eat what you want and take some Beano to stop global warming?

The people who brood about such things have their heads in the sand. They should be out planting trees. I'm not going to let their totally bizarro ideas stop me from eating a sensible green vegetable.
