Flexitarians, Eco-Atkins, et al - Diet and Carbon footprint

I have been contemplating on total vegetarianism for quite some time now. Although I have been a big poultry and seafood eater for many years, some introspection has been hinting me to lean towards a all-veggie diet. People who know me, know that I don't cook meat at home, not even BBQ. But whenever I go out, the first chance I get, I dig my fingers and teeth deep into a chicken dish or fish for that matter. My excuse, which by the way is a strong one, is "I need my Protein". That is the only reason why I am still a weekend carnivore.

Aptly, thus, I consider myself a flexitarian - trying to be a 100% vegetarian, but not quite there yet.



For those of us, who realized that unwatchful food habits are the worst thing that we could do to ourselves, in this fast paced 'live perfectly' generation, here are a couple of very interesting links that will tell you how "living green" and "what you eat" could be - quite common-sensically, and obviously - linked together.

Quantum Extremephiles - another Natural wonder

One can never fathom the magnitude of wonder mother nature can bestow. We could always gauge the positive and the detrimental effects of nuclear energy, and the evolutionary or devastating forms that it can take, depending on how it is used. But, this article that I stumbled upon takes it to a different dimension.

The recent study conducted by a couple of major universities, show that extremeophile bacteria thats basically buried in rock about 2 miles beneath the earth's surface have a unique mechanism of living. They have a metabolism by which they utilize Uranium to break down water molecules and use it with pyrite to live.

Here is the complete article by Luke McKinney that would tickle our imagination.
