One More Thing on a Vegetarian Diet
Hey Girls! Okay, this is the last thing, I promise. I just find this topic interesting, especially since I've recently converted to a vegetarian diet. Check out this article:
http://thinksimplenow.com/health/eating-our-way-to-death-literally/
I can't dispute it's ethical arguments, but the nutritional/health reasons for being a vegetarian are up for debate. I've changed by diet for the ethical reasons but it's important to ensure we're not denying our bodies what they need to be healthy.
Also, make sure you read the comments section at the bottom of the blog. They are also pretty informative-- several of them arguing against the points made in the article. Let me know what you think!

Urgent Appeal
Hi Guys!! So it's looking like the presidential election in Virginia will come down to one key area: Northern Virginia, specifically Fairfax County. It's one of like 5 counties that people are citing as being the key deciders in the race ... so sisters, let's get on this. Call your friends, make appeals and prevent any Republicans you may know (I shudder to think!) from getting to the polls!
Going Vegetarian
Hey Ladies!
Ok, since 3/4 of us have decided to give up meat I decided to do a little research on the pros and cons of being on a vegetarian diet. I'm doing it mostly for the animal rights, but I want to make sure I'm still being healthy. I tried doing research online but couldn't find many good, reliable sites. Here are two that seemed okay:

How's it going for the rest of you? Turkey, chicken, pork were no sweat. It's the red meat that I still sometimes want.
