    By cousin who just visited from Sweden, is a vegetarian and cited these statistics.

    But, we had ice cream with his daughter. Wait till I tell him how bad it is for the economy.

    But the mushrooms in your backyard are a lot of fun.

    Reminds me of an editorial that ran in the Freep several years ago, I think right after Comerica Park opened. The author fretted over unhealthy ball park and the Tigers needed to use more granola, fruits and healthy foods. The Freep got skewered for weeks and deservedly so...

    The Tigers changed their whole training table menu to granola, tofu and watercress in 2003. With spectacular results.

    Imagine what this guy thinks of the hot dogs in the Notre Dame press box.

    As long as the soggy. flaccid rancid tubes of rotting animal flesh sitting in a NON BOILING malordorous swill, I think it passes the energy efficiency test.

    Can't have beef - methane gas, not to mention all that transportation pollution.
    Can't eat fish - those dastardly oil and nuclear poisons in our oceans.

    Can't eat potatoes or salad.

    And if we really get desperate, no cats or dogs in this country on any plate.

    We're screwed.

    I can think of some carbon emissions that will occur this weekend that no amount of reduced cooking is going to curtail.

    I'll be sure to eat a couple extra helpings of beans to enhance my carbon emissions
