What if a group of federal employees tried to take an action that would improve their health, and at the same time, better the health of the planet? What if this action was as simple as not eating meat one day a week?

What the employees did not expect was the backlash from powerful business interests and their meat-loving toadies in the US government when they advocated implementing Meatless Monday in the USDA employee cafeteria.

Add one more dating quirk to the list--bad personal hygiene, weird hair, odd habits--when it comes to whittling down the list of available prospects.
A joint survey conducted by the Today show and Match.com found that out of 4,000 respondents, nearly 30% of meat eaters said that they would not date a vegetarian. Conversely, only 4% of vegetarians said they would not date those that enjoyed their steaks.
Reasons varied widely. Some meat eaters found it harder to enjoy a meal with their loved one, either for fear of being judged or being able to share in a common interest-- like carnivorism--fully.

When documentary devotees look back at films released in the last two decades of the 20th Century and the first decades of the 21st, they might overlook one of the most significant features to hit the screens in many years. Forks Over Knives does not report on scandals, political controversy, or ethnic wars. Instead it spotlights the public health crisis that affects everyone in the United States.
The film does not feature any national celebrities or Hollywood stars, but instead presents two unlikely grass-roots heroes who have been lionized in recent documentaries devoted to national health concerns. Its unlikely stars are two men in their late seventies who have amassed a legion of followers tuned in to their health message.

Next time NASA sends astronauts to Mars in the 2030s they won't be eating freeze dried food or liquid meals. That's so last millenium. On their projected mission to Mars NASA astronauts will eat 100% vegan meals complete with fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the spaceship.
How is this possible? It's all thanks to the research being done by NASA's Advanced Food Technology (AFT) project. Since Mars has some gravity, the AFT researchers believe astronauts will be able to chop, cook vegetables and even grow their own plants using hydroponics.

My man-size, flour tortilla burrito was muy gordo (very plump), topped with an addictively delicious tomatillo sauce, and garnished with a twisted orange slice. The filling was a succulent medley of brown rice, black beans, fresh pico de gallo, green bell peppers, onions, spinach, and broccoli. Delicioso!
