I took my dog out for a walk last night and we found two other puppies - a precious 9 week old dalmation and a 5 month old mutt. They just moved in with their owners, two twenty-something, scantily clad blondes. So, given the description of their owners, they managed to draw out every single man who lives in our apartment complex, who then proceeded to dote on their puppies. My puppy never got that kind of attention from the neighbours - I didn't even know that there were so many sexy men who lived here. Anyway, as you can see, its not a puppy who attracts the sezy men, but instead scantily clad blondes, the puppies are just another accessory....


And for another reason why I am a vegetarian, read the cover story of Time this week. And the very insightful comments:


Pimentel argues that vegetarianism is much more environment-friendly than diets revolving around meat. "In terms of caloric content, the grain consumed by American livestock could feed 800 million people-and, if exported, would boost the U.S. trade balance by $80 billion a year." Grain-fed livestock consume 100,000 liters of water for every kilogram of food they produce, compared with 2,000 liters for soybeans. Animal protein also demands tremendous expenditures of fossil-fuel energy-eight times as much as for a comparable amount of plant protein. Put another way, says Pimentel, the average omnivore diet burns the equivalent of a gallon of gas per day-twice what it takes to produce a vegan diet. And the U.S. livestock population-cattle, chickens, turkeys, lambs, pigs and the rest-consumes five times as much grain as the U.S. human population. But then there are 7 billion of them; they outnumber us 25 to 1.
