Live Small and Prosper: The latest reason for practicing restraint out-shadows all others.
I suggested that eating less meat results in many positive benefits and that the absolute best reason is:
“It takes less effort than leaving the car at home to conserve fuel (our insatiable thirst for fossil fuels is another reason grain prices are on the rise) and we need an easy way to practice restraint over and over and over again until we get really really good at it so we’ll be ready for the hard hard times when they come.”
I know I’m right too. You can quote me on it.
(I mean, if we can give up cheeseburgers we can certainly take public transit.)
A great comment soon followed.

That J dude is persistent, if unimaginative.
Going vegetarian is one of the best things I've done as a human, I think. It was one of the easiest changes to make too, and one with a lot of positive consequences for me and for the world. Way easier than driving less or not using any plastic. When I found out how much food could be going to humans instead of animals, how much I lowered my risk of colitis and colon cancer (which runs in our family), and how I didn't want to be responsible for the de-beaking, and otherwise and inhumane practices of factory farms, I was just so done with meat.
Being vegetarian has actually broadened my diet, not restrained it at all! May 5, 2008 7:00 PM

I told theresa I’m still a flexitarian (semi-vegetarian) and feel better for it. And it’s easy.
And we need ‘easy’.
