No.

That burger last night was absolutely fantastic.

I had some fabtastulastic sausages over summer. Quality ones I was assured, and they sure were expensive, but they were fab. North Yorkshire it was, a specialist butchers shop.

Managed some shallow fried cod steaks last night.

Think I'll go get some steak and eggs this morning.

Oyuki has inspired me to go buy a real expensive steak today for the weekend. Going to have a real Sunday roast going on.

I had burgers last night as well after our meat discussion!!

great

i hope not, because offsetting your carbon and reducing your footprint are two seperate things.

Do you mean instead to say that you don't believe in global warming?

My dinner last night, inspired by Oyuki



I did cook it of course.

Cheers mate!

I think I will do what I can to do something about offsetting my carbon footprint thingy-mujig. (As long as I can still eat meat and run my car, etc).

No, I believe that the Globe is definitely warming, whether we are the primary cause or not I'm unsure, I can see arguements pro and con. I just don't buy into this government spun..."do this and offset your carbon footprint"..... just seems like a load of spun bullsiht from Governments to get us in a sense of panic so they can control us more.

I am going to offset my carbon footprint to sometime in the future.
For now, burger time.

Can I maybe offset my carbon footprint thingy to someone else?

while others are offsetting, I'll be off eatin steak

i don't know where you are getting the info that governments are involved with scare tactics.

To me it seems like common sense. If you see something wrong, you do what you can.
I can't be any more plain than that.

We are living unsustainably, a result of the short-sighted expansion of thye last 50 years. We grew up in this rich consumer environment, not really realizing that it has only been the last few generations on earth that have ever experienced such technology. But for us it is natural.

Now we have the natural results of such earth-ignorant practices coming to bear down on us. All the poisons and dioxins we have dumped into the food cyclecreated is creating various diseases, all the pollution we have put up in the atmosphere is having consequences.

So what do you do about it? Do you WANT the government to try to clean up this mess, when it can't even clean up its own? Because without taking any responsibility and initiative on your own, that is what you are asking for.

The issues like reducing meat consumption are extremely personal ones, not governmental ones. They are steps that any person can make to live more gently on the earth. Did anyone even read that article that was posted? The resources that go into creating meat are an artifact of the idea that we have unlimited resources to squander.

You children are not goning to be able to live like that. Do you want to continue wasting resources for luxuries like meat or SUVs or overseas vacations when your children and grandchildren will have to suffer the results from the pollution?

This isn't rocket science. If you don't want to contribute to environmental degradation, reduce your consumption of items that degrade the environment. And factory-farmed meat (yes, pigs and chickens too) are part of that.

If you don't, then keep posting your dinners.

Oh OK here's mine, yakiniku tonight

just make sure you have lots

I am not going to give up meat it is that simple.

yakiniku tonight, now there's a good idea.

I'm maybe not being clear about what I mean. So I won't try to muddy the waters anymore, but the fact is I don't believe in this "offsetting" nonsense that has sprung up. Give us extra money so yo can feel less guilty about the pleasures you take part in....screw that!!

I like meat

I had meat sauce pasta last night.
