new year's resolution

source

i don't usually make a new year's resolution because i think we should be improving ourselves all the time, not just at the beginning of the year. anyway, mine this year is going to be eating less beef. if you know me, you should have gasped, because beef is my favorite food next to cheese, potatoes, tomatoes, and bacon. (i love eating healthy. HA!)

i'm doing this for a few reasons: 1. i should eat less meat anyway (livestock is bad for the environment) 2. i should really eat less red meat (for health reasons) 3. cows are really not great for the environment: a. they take up lots of room b. they eat too much c. they make lots of poo d. they make lots of methane!

btw, i know that cow burps don't nearly make as much methane as the media has led us to believe. but every little bit helps no?

btw, for a vaguely related article, read this one about how a chef is turning a non-native crab into food. i think this is such a fabulous idea! 'when i grow up' i'm totally getting into the locavore movement. well... more into it, anyway.
