I'm going vegan! I don't have any real good reason to do it, other than the fact that I've never done it. So, why not?

Seyi said it'll be something to do for Lent. But I'm not Catholic! "So what," she said. "Good point", I reflected, "After all, I celebrate Christmas."

In the study of a basket of foods in Cardiff, transport amounted to only 2% of the total environmental cost. Growing conditions, packaging and processing made up the bulk of the impact.

Quoted:Sadly, Takohachi is closing for good on June 2. The owner is retiring and, according to one of the many charming and carefully hand-lettered signs that hang on the restaurant’s walls, a new Japanese restaurant will open in the spot on 610 S Jackson later this summer.
