For those of you who love to rant against vegans, you're about to get fuel for your fire. The Stir just posted a story about how Simon Fairlie's new book, Meat, a Benign Extravagance, already has high-profile English vegan activist George Monbiot thinking differently about meat. Monbiot's vegan retraction "I was wrong about veganism" is a delicious read for carnivores.

That doesn't mean you can now scarf down a Big Mac guilt free (environmentally speaking) -- it's all about which meat you eat and how it's raised. Head over to The Stir to read about the 5 ways that meat can be earth friendly...

I LOVED THAT!! Being a big meat eater myself, I am always happy to see anything on the benefits of a WELL rounded diet, yes salads and lots of fresh whole foods, but not exclusively. I like http://bit.ly/GetWellStayHealthy and use their site quite often for ideas, free samples and coupons for grocery shopping.
