“Los Angeles public schools have just gone meatless on Mondays. But unlike the Los Angeles City Council’s resolution in November that simply urges people to observe a Monday without meat, the school system really has issued an edict. It stopped serving meat on Mondays last month. Of course, students could pack turkey sandwiches from home. But the school cafeterias won’t be selling them, and that’s a good thing.”

- If it’s Monday, the L.A. Unified school cafeteria is meatless

One Man Thinks He Never Has To Eat Again

“You know what’s an irreversible waste of time, money and effort? Eating food you take pleasure in eating. I mean, wouldn’t you rather just ingest a tasteless form of sustenance for the rest of your life and never have to go through that tedious rigmarole of opening and eating a pre-made sandwich or enjoying a huge hungover fry-up ever again? Rob Rhinehart – a 24-year-old software engineer from Atlanta and, presumably, an impossibly busy man – thinks so.”

Food for thought. — tanya b.

Andrew Foltz-Morrison: Pernicious Realism:

andrewfm:

There are few things that irritate me more than when people say “well, that’s a good idea, but it’s just not realistic” with regards to political change.

Here’s why: on most plausible norms of assertion, when you make a statement like that, you do so to convince the audience of its truth, or…

It is here at last :

My induction cooktop came today and I love it……uses far less energy than any other source of cooking and it is fast and easy. Then tea kettle you see half full of room temp water on the gas camp stove took up to 10 minutes to boil……on this INDUCTION COOKTOP it was less than 4 minutes. I would say that within 30 to 45 seconds of turning it on I saw steam. I let it come up to a full noisy whistle and turned it off the tea kettle went silent as soon as the cooktop was turned off. I cannot wait to cook dinner this evening!

For tiny house builders…I do believe this is the cooktop of choice for our way of living!!!

For those in the Pacific North West, this is for you. The Oregon Cottage Company has designed a jewel. This 8’ 6” x 20’ is in my top 5 of the tiny house design. This home has a full size bathtub, a closet for the washer/dryer (the only hidden washer space that I have come across), and a loft that comfortable sleeps four, or sleeps two with space for clothes storage. This home can be built by the company for a mere $38,000 (the average home price in Oregon is $321,797) or the plans are available for free at the website.

You can find out more information about the home here or you can download the basic plans here.
