Most interesting is the feature comparing reduction of animal products and it’s positive impact on the environment. They state: • If you eat one less burger a week, it’s like taking your car off the road for 320 miles. • If your family of four skips meat and cheese one day, it’s like taking your car off the road for nearly 3 months. • If everyone in the U.S. ate no meat or cheese just one day a week, it would be like not driving 91 billion miles- or taking 7.6 million cars off the road. So what will you eat on those days? Well here are some very environmentally friendly ideas.

Cauliflower comes to mind when I first think of white produce and with that my recipe for spicy raw rice. Apples, cucumbers, bananas, pears, and bok choy stalks are also very common sources of white colored produce. And like they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Researchers aren’t really sure why which just drives home the idea of consuming whole unprocessed foods. Sat, 08 Oct 2011 00:54:10 GMT
