In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in

Cow plop!
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says we should stop eating meat one day a week. After that, we should even eat it less than that. If he has his way, I suppose we should be come vegetarians.
Anything for the sake of preventing further global warming.
I’m in…how about you?
Rewind…I’m not in.
Sorry…I don’t care how much gas those cows or beef steer are “burping,” or how much people are burping after they eat a huge plate of beef for that matter. I’m going to eat all the red meat I want.
I think Dr. Pachauri is forgetting to tell us to eliminate some other items from our diet…maybe because there would be a huge uproar in the medical world. You see, physicians aren’t going to argue with him about telling us to eliminate red meat…they want us eating turkey or pork or fish anyway (I know, Pachauri says to eliminate "meat"). But there’s something else those belching cows eating grass are producing …it’s called milk.
Got Milk?
If you‘ve got that, then you’ve got strong bones. You don’t want to see a bunch of menopausal women with an increase in broken hips, do you? We don ‘t want to tell people to reduce the amount of yogurt and cottage cheese they re eating, now do we? And it’s been proven that increasing dairy in your diet helps to lose weight, too. I wonder if Dr. Pachauri works for any pharmaceutical companies. Just a thought.
"People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
His comments are the most controversial advice yet provided by the panel on how individuals can help tackle global warning.
Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel's chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental problems - including habitat destruction - associated with rearing cattle and other animals. It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport, he said. "
