Please, please, please, read this book- this woman is on fire. She is so stunning, so alive, so right on. She makes me weep with such confirmation, the deep sadness of the truth, and such sisterhood. She says exactly what I think only better and with more facts. The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith. And visit her website, full of talks and interviews, while you are waiting for the mail, it is also a great resource. Please, for your own health and for the planet, read this book. It is way uncomfortable and totally challenging, but it is accurate.
And then, if you have been a vegetarian especially, start thinking about or experimenting with eating like this or like this. I know, i am little bit on the bandwagon, the soapbox, all fired up and explosively alive with THE ANSWER. But, don't mind that part, just chock it up to my youthful idealism and let it go. Spend the energy instead on growing food or finding people who do in your area and volunteering time to make some serious changes in your watershed.
"What grows where you live? Ask it and you'll see. To answer you will have to know the place you live. And if your food, your survival, is dependent upon the place that starts at your beating heart and extends as far as your legs can walk in a day, you will have to learn about rivers and forests, soil and rain."Lierre Keith
