Politics of the Plate: The Price of Tomatoes

"You could almost forget the irony: Workers who pick the food we eat can’t afford to feed themselves."

Bergfest

Halfway through the term exactly. Thank goodness.

I encourage everyone to read this: Top 10 Reasons Not to Eat Pigs, and not just because the picture of the baby piggies at the top of the page is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. If you're interested, May 19th-25th is World Vegetarian Week. I encourage anyone willing to make a change in their lives (and those of the animals) AND who care about the environment and their health, to sign up for the Pledge to be Veg for 7 Days! thing that goveg.com is going. SETA recently did a Try Vegan Week! for Earth Week on campus, and 47 people signed up. It's just 7 days out of your lifetime, and during those seven days you can live more simply, conciously, and compassionately. And you know you have a vegan friend who is willing to send you information, recipes, or answer questions. :)

I leave you with a pic of me and Meredith at our Try Vegan Week table on Earth Day:





I made those signs. :3

I'm a badass (not really)
