Food For Tought

click on photo for artistic detail
San Diego Balboa Park
An article about a kimono exhibit at Balboa Park sparked my interest. I invited two other ladies for an outing. As soon as we entered the park we saw the display of spheres with a green theme. The globes were provided by Toyota . Artists developed the theme artistically with a contribution everyone could make to help preserve our environment. I thought this particular sphere "Food For Thought" was a very fitting photo for the first blogging. The artist's suggestion for a practice is that by eating one meatless day per week we could save much energy required for production of beef, pork, poultry and other meats. One-fifth global warming emissions comes from livestock production. That is more greenhouse gas than is released from all of the worlds transportation combined. I thought that was enlightening. It was suggested to have one day of legumes, beans or vegetable protein.
