		<description>Hi Anittah,

I laughed out loud at the &#039;lots of farting&#039; part! I hadn&#039;t consider that! But yo uare so right--it would be ironic if this crisis actually solved some of our weight and environmental problems. I&#039;ve suspected for awhile that part of the reason obesity is spiking recently is all the additives in meat and all the meat we eat. If you think about it, we give animals hormones and chemicals to make the animals get big fast, then we eat the animals, then we get big fast too---I know a lot of it is diet and exercise and just too much food, but I think eventually it will come out that meat production didn&#039;t do us any good at all.

Thanks for commenting!</description>

		<description>What&#039;s encouraging is that perhaps food consumption will shift towards that which is healthier for us individually as well as the earth as a whole.  The massive consumption of red meat --&gt; lots of cows, less rainforests --&gt; lots of farting --&gt; toasty globe.

Curious how rising oil prices may be the market solution to global warming and chubby guts all at once!</description>
