I write about food. I write about cooking.

様態の副詞

that's become very important to me in the last year or two.

It is about food, but it's not about cooking per se.

I'm going to start with this picture of a beautiful cow.

I'm not a vegetarian -- this is the old Nixon line, right?

Now that is only a little bit hyperbolic.

Because only once before has the fate of individual people

And where we go from here is going to determine

not only the quality and the length of our individual lives,

but whether, if we could see the earth a century from now,

and hiding under our desks isn't going to help.

Start with the notion that global warming

Since every scientist in the world now believes this,

and even President Bush has seen the light, or pretends to,

After energy production, livestock is the second-highest contributor

Now, you can make all the jokes you want about cow farts,

but methane is 20 times more poisonous than CO2,

Livestock is also one of the biggest culprits in land degradation,

air and water pollution, water shortages and loss of biodiversity.

Like half the antibiotics in this country

are not administered to people, but to animals.

But lists like this become kind of numbing, so let me just say this,

if you're driving a Prius, or you're shopping green,

you should probably be a semi-vegetarian.

Now, I'm no more anti-cow than I am anti-atom,

but it's all in the way we use these things.

which Ann Cooper talked about beautifully yesterday,

There's no question -- none --that so-called lifestyle diseases  --

diabetes, heart disease, stroke, some cancers --

are diseases that are far more prevalent here

And that's the direct result of eating a Western diet.

Our demand for meat, dairy and refined carbohydrates --

the world consumes one billion cans or bottles of Coke a day --

our demand for these things, not our need, our want --

drives us to consume way more calories than are good for us.

And those calories are in foods that cause, not prevent, disease.

We didn't know that pollution did more than cause bad visibility.

Maybe a few lung diseases here and there,

but you know, that's not such a big deal.

is a little more the work of the evil empire.

that the more meat and dairy and poultry we ate,

No.  Overconsumption of animals, and of course, junk food,

is the problem, along with our paltry consumption of plants.

Now, there's no time to get into the benefits of eating plants here,

but the evidence is that plants -- and I want to make this clear --

it's not the ingredients in plants, it's the plants.

It's not the beta-carotene, it's the carrot.

The evidence is very clear that plants promote health.

This evidence is overwhelming at this point.

You eat more plants, you eat less other stuff, you live longer.

One: we don't need either of them for health.

and we certainly don't need white bread or Coke.

We're not born craving Whoppers or Skittles.

Three: their production has been supported by government agencies

at the expense of a more health and earth-friendly diet.

Let's pretend that our government supported an oil-based economy

while discouraging more sustainable forms of energy,

knowing all the while that the result would be

And they do this here. It's the same deal.
