Karmavore

I just read that 1% of the Mongol population is vegetarian.

That's revolutionary. The motherland of Genghis Khan whose soldiers drank the blood of horses to keep them going, has sown the seeds of a different kind of resilience, one that the world will really warm up to.

What struck most was this bit reproduced verbatim: “A lot of people think we’re crazy,” says Erdenchimeg, a chef at the Loving Hut, a chain owned by the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association, which promotes meditation and prayer. She became a vegetarian in 2008 and in recent months switched to veganism – all part of a commitment to lessening her impact on the environment, she says.

If we really need to go beyond lip-service in serving the cause of our Mother environment(al) protection, let us start with inconvenient personal examples. Shun meat... in all forms. Everything is karmic.
