waking up to frozen foliage outside my window reminded me of the sometimes backward effects global warming incurs on our environment, including global oceanic circulation and, more obviously, increased precipitation (hedu snow). i then thought about the meat packing industry and its extremely unfortunate but largely unrecognized contribution to global warming and thus the unusual amount of snow dumped from the clouds onto one of the most politically influential cities in the world. just as an example...in case you missed the Time article, 4 oz of steamed pasta leaves a carbon footprint of .18 lbs, while 4 oz of steak creates 10.5 lbs of problems. apologies that im new to this blogging thing and cant figure out how to post links, any help would be appreciated. that said, as much as i enjoy the current white blanket, i recognize what it symbolizes and i am extremely proud to think that in some small way, my eating habits make me part of the solution, not the problem

Very heady. I doubt my g-spot, I mean blogspot, is any different, in which case to link: you highlight the word you wish to link and then in the menu bar above the typed post, select the image of what vaguely resembles a chain-link on top of the earth. I hope this was in some way helpful
