The season of Lent is the perfect time to consider a plant-based diet. This 40-day period preceding Easter is when Christians have traditionally abstained from meat and dairy in memory of Jesus's 40 days of fasting and prayer before dying on the cross. Such a gesture would be a tangible expression of Jesus's message of compassion and love for all living beings. Animals are being raised for food under abject conditions of caging, crowding, deprivation, drugging, mutilation and manhandling. When trucked to slaughterhouses, they travel for days without food or water only to be bled, skinned and dismembered while still conscious. Wastes from factory farms foul the water we drink and the air we breathe, and meat production accounts for 18 percent of greenhouse gases responsible for global wa...
A big issue in comparing the carbon footprints of burgers and their vegetarian-patty substitutes is "subsidiary impacts" - equipment, fuel, production and transportation costs. For instance, says [Brent McCown], "You don't have to invest in a lot of equipment to raise pasture-based beef. The cows do the work." But to grow a lot of soybeans, you're talking "big equipment - planters and plows. Nature's Bakery of Madison, 1019 Williamson St., makes three kinds of veggie burger patties. Member/owner Robert Miller says these burgers are fresh and natural. "The ingrethents are on the label, and you recognize all of them as food," says Miller, perhaps unconsciously playing off one of [Michael Pollan]'s maxims: "Don't eat anything your grandparents wouldn't recognize as food." Some people love...

there is no alternative RE "TALKING LIGHT RAIL" (Sunday Forum, Feb. 22): The primary proposal of the writer of the con piece is to create a sort of transportation czar. When has hiring an expensive consultant to tell us what we already know paid off? Who would listen? Hampton Roads does not take advice across city lines. Ultimately, that proposal is not to resolve the problem but just to talk about it.

The current wave of attention to sustainability represents the challenges that the businesses in the future will need to address. The traditional notions of growth and development need to be reexamined in the light of these challenges. This paper focuses on the adequacy of enterprise based solutions to poverty and the potential for unintended consequences. It examines the dilemma of addressing economic growth and poverty alleviation on one side and the need to halt and possibly reverse the damage that has been done to our environment on the other side. We examine the resulting tensions between the poverty trap, consumption trap and resource limits.

New Republicans worse than old New rascals, same as the old rascals. Actually, no. The Republicans who are bidding to be thrown back into power this coming November are a good deal worse than those who were justifiably thrown out of power in 2006 and 2008. And, old or new, it passes all understanding why any sensible voter would give either another whack at governance.
