What on earth are you eating?

Today for some reason I have taken it upon myself to go and watch a whole bunch of really disturbing videos put out by PETA(People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals).

I've also been reading a bit about why milk isn't very good for you. Good thing for me I drink very little milk so it shouldn't be a problem, but I intend on switching from my normal hi-lo milk to whole organic milk. When milk has the fat reduced it is de-natured and the mineral balance can then be all out of whack. If you drink a lot of milk this can mean too much phosphorus and too much calcium (yes despite what the dairy corporation tells you, you can have too much calcium, without enough magnesium to back it up it just sits around your body unused causing all kind of troubles).

Then I decided to check out my ecological foot print. Did you know that if every person on this earth lived life like me we would require 2 planets just to sustain us? And I'm a person who has a very fuel efficient car, who rarely travels on airplanes and who doesn't eat much meat (soon to be none I think) What a scary thought. If you're interested to find out yourEcological footprint this calculator will show you how

I think the link is this:

6 planets if everyone lives like me. And I was on the low end of most choices, except flying and eating meat. And those things only cost 1 planet each, so no idea where the extra 2 planets came from. Everything else was the smallest option on the form!

thanks, I fixed it up :)

I think I'm going to have to give in to someone teaching me how to make a link, I tried it out myself with no luck.

Wow 6 planets, that's heaps! I think my biggest problem came from buying too many processed and packaged imported products.

Luckily half the world or more isn't as lucky as me.
