Recipes
You
probably don't
need a recipe for a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich, but since this is not just about
PB&Js, here are
some links to recipes that look good to us:
Black Bean Soup, Veg. Chili, Falafel, and General
Tso's Tofu.
Also,
if you're looking for good plant-based recipes, check out vegan
recipe sites. You don't have to be vegan to cook the recipes,
but
sites like Post
Punk Kitchen have a
wealth of good plant-based meal ideas.
Environment
For
more information on the environmental impact
of Livestock, check
out a United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization report
called Livestock's
Long Shadow. This is really thorough and really long but easy
to skim.
Greenpeace also has a report on the topic,
more generally about agriculture and global warming.
If you’re interested in learning more
about the environmental
impact of the seafood we eat (both wild caught and farmed), check out
the UN Atlas of the Oceans' Environmental
Impact of Fisheries
website.
Green Eating and Health
The
PB&J Campaign was largely inspired by
a website put up by the Center
for New
American Dream
and the World
Wildlife Fund
called the Burger
Life Story.
The New American Dream has a great project called
Turn the
Tide, which
gives people nine
simple actions to help the environment.
The
idea of a campaign came partly from Meatless Monday,
a project of the Center for a Livable Future at Johns
Hopkins’
Bloomberg School of Public Health. Meatless Monday encourages people
to skip meat one day a week to improve their
health.
Six
Arguments for a Greener Diet is
a project of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
They’ve got lots of amazing facts about the effects of
changing
your diet on the environment, on your health, and on animal
welfare.
Animal
Welfare
If
you’re interested in learning more
about what happens to the
animals we end up eating, check out the Humane
Society of the United States’
website on Farm
Animals.
Last, make sure you check out the Meatrix.
Whether you liked the Matrix, didn't like it, or never saw it, take the
red pill and follow Moopheus.
