3-17 IAT Vegan Future

George H. W. Bush, the first President Bush, once referred to San Francisco as the land of fruits and nuts. I love it when people throw political correctness in the trash bin. But the president did have a point of view. Listen to this. A group of prominent Silicon Valley investors along with Microsoft's Bill Gates are funding a way to avoid using eggs... Meaning real eggs. Here is a recent quote from the Idaho Statesman "Venture capital firms, which invest heavily in early-stage technology companies, poured nearly $350 million into food-related startups last year, compared with less than $50 million in 2008. Backers of this technology say plant-based alternatives to eggs, poultry and other meat could be good for the environment because it could reduce consumption of meat, which requires large amounts of land, water and crops to produce.It could also benefit people's health, especially in heavy meat-eating countries like the U.S., and reduce outbreaks of diseases such as avian flu, they say."Not to play the Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage card where I call out the liberals, but come on. The thinking in our country is swinging pretty wildly don't you think? How remote do you think it is that we start swinging towards a totally vegan future?
