I Flew Over, from Larry Williams
Flew from San Francisco to Charlotte last week —at SFO there was a Yoga area, meditation room and a Penelope of signs offering wide variety of gluten free, organic, plant based, vegan dining choices.
In Charlotte I was greeted with signs for the NASCAR Bar, Ribs and Southern Fried Chicken, nobody there looked "cool", they did look much less self-absorbed.
Happy flying to all.

Much less self absorbed to think of animals that are slaughtered for a throwaway meal and be vegan or plant based in order to reduce the amount of totally unnecessary violence to innocent beings–simply by choosing a great tasting plant based meal. Picture is the most non graphic slaughterhouse image I could find.

Thank you, Admin. For once somebody here has considered other beings.

I believe processing makes food inherently bad. Whether it’s meat or otherwise the further away from the source you are the worse it is for you. Meat from a slaughter house is worse for you than meat from a freshly killed animal from a forest. Sugar from high fructose corn syrup vs sugar from a freshly picked fruit. Cereal bars vs a bag of nuts. It’s expensive to eat fresh while having the time to pursue other activities higher on the value chain (San Francisco). Of course you could eat fresh as a nomad, but you’d spend all your time on it.

Speaking of alternatives, found a rather tastyvegetarian surprise in a new food from Lightlife [”Since 1979″]. It’s round slices of pressed white bean and kale, presented like salami slices in a slim peel-and-reseal plastic pack. It tastes vaguely like liver, is quite delicious, is a wee 90 calories per serving–three slices, though I’m happy with one at a time, so only 30 calories, presumably.
It’s a nice option instead of salami, and cheaper, too.
