My impression from the review was that she was saying that agriculture, particularly big agriculture monoculture, has wiped out far more species than meat eating ever could. It sounds like a book I must read, since that's an argument I've made for years.

But a huge amount of that big agriculture goes toward animal feed.

Skipping ahead for some homework help:

Top is to rotate as satellite is to spin? Or rotate?

I'm having a horrible day at work, and am quite cranky, but I have to laugh when people talk about any "natural" food chain. My response is: when you can kill an animal with your bare hands, you get to eat it. That's a "natural" food chain. Not targeted to anyone here (at all) since I respect others' food eating decisions.

Revolve.

You know, I have that high deductible plan, and it sucks. I don't put money in an FSA because I don't make that much, and my health insurance used to be free, with just a copay. I have been plagued by hip pain since November and I don't want to go to the doctor because I am pretty sure he wil have to do 800 million tests that I can't pay for to tell if it is my kidney, ovary, intestine, etc. I am pretty sure it is my back/hip, but the pain moves.

This was exactly my experience on the high deductable plan. Nice to have such a low per paycheck cost, but I found myself choosing not to seek medical attention for things when that really wasn't a great idea. Thankfully I didn't have anything major go wrong, and I was able to use HSA funds for dental work that wouldn't have been covered by my insurance, but I got right back on the traditional plan as soon as I could.

It is way too hot to cook, so I'm giving a raw food recipe a try. I just used a vegetable peeler to turn two zucchinis and a yellow squash into noodles. Next up, sauce ingredients into the food processor. Then everything mixed together, and tomatoes and basil on top.

I think August is my favorite farmers market month. I also got okra and Turkish eggplant. (The Turkish eggplant was because I decided that this year, I will try at least one new thing from the farmers market each week. They're bright orange! All of my usual eggplant recipes are stews and things like that, but I want to figure out something for these that doesn't hide their color.)

Now I'm craving spaghetti squash and chicken.

Thanks Hil - I misread the answers, the choices were revolve not rotate. I still don't think that is a 3rd grade level ques.

I did not claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables.

Vegetables are what food eats.
