so, i have some stats that my brother may find disturbing and further solidify his veganism. did you know that the US produces 40% of the worlds corn, of that, only 1% is sweet corn. 15% is exported and 50% (thats right 50%) is used for animal feed.
Not done with the scores, my illness has clouded my mind and I failed to send the partial scores to myself here at work to complete them.
Not sure if it would matter, but I'll try to finish at some point today, if not definately when I get home tonight.
Yeah, that's right. Using the illness as an excuse. It has to be good for something.

Now the figures may be disputed, but are probably pretty accurate.
Upwards of 60% of cultivated land in this country is used for raising animal feed. Add to that the amount of land used for grazing and raising animals and we could reforest an awful lot of area, a billion hectares or so.
That would go a long way to reducing the world's carbon footprint.

about one-third of the raw materials used in America each year is consumed by the farmed animal industry
well, i feel that we need that deforested land to set up solar panales. if you covered one tenth of nevada (a wasteland anyway) with solar panels, it would provide power for the entire country. there is nothing there now anyway.
not to mention the amount of methane produces by cattle and that methane is actually the most dagerous of the greenhouse gases.
your right about the solar pannels and with the next generation of solar pannels it will probably accutually become efficient.
btw... LasVegas should invest in it now. That is perhaps the most wasteful city in the world.

search for skystream 3.7. it is a personal windmill that i have been researching in case i ever build a house. 12 grand and you have power forever. also, millers, that webpage from yesterday shows you how to make fire logs out of coffee groupds and crap. not acctually crap, but you get the point

As I sit here finishing off a box of Samoas (cookies, not native americans...that would just be gross...and not as tasty) I am thankful to my generations cookie monster for being such a good example.
I may have the problem that my cookie pieces do not fall onto the ground as I munch furiously on them, but into my stomache.
seriously
it just seemed weird to me that people now are so easily upset. there are going to be generations of chumps that have no idea how to handle the real world. i can already see it in a lot of new people that apply here. i may not have the best work ethic, but i can at least handle the critisism that comes along with it. and i thank allister cookie for his pipe eating ways and satirical sarcasm.

i get ya.
i have Todd. He is always talking to me in his surfer voice telling me to be more extreme. jump off this, rail that, huff the blue stuff, burn this or that down. no one sees him though. i even had him supeanoed in my arson case, but no record of him. weird.
