Video Clip: Stephen Colbert Interviews President of the American Meat Institute

Just unbeliveably hilarious and spot on.  He really nails the Pres. on several topics and it's a true joy to watch.

FYI, Mark

Video "Mockumentary:" The Majestic Plastic Bag

A four minute stunning parody of a BBC nature film: the plastic bag as a successful organism, accompanied by serious "English-accented" voice, describing it's life cycle.  The video is for a really important activist cause in California, and it's points are made in a very sly and clever fashion.  Enjoy!

Video Clip: "Pork or Parents?" (Daily Show)

A very funny, yet telling, video clip about a muslim woman wanting to adopt some children but who is rejected because she won't allow pork, "the most anthropormorphic of meats," in her home.  Four minutes of clever writing/editing:

Pork or Parents

Great Interview with Rip Esselstyn (re: Daiya Cheese, too)

Excerpt:

"Roseann: What about Daiya? Have you had it?

Rip: I have, I’ve definitely tried it. If I’m not mistaken, it’s 70% fat; it’s loaded with canola oil. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve not been eating cheese for so long that even though it’s not dairy per se, to me it tastes just like cheese, and I find it revolting.

Roseann: I have to say, when it first came out, I was addicted. I was eating so much of it, I think I just bottomed out. It was definitely nice to have a meltable “cheese” again, but it does feel almost as heavy and clogging as actual cheese.

Rip: Exactly."

[Note:  full interview from above here, and know that Daiya has more fat grams than whole milk mozzerella, here. Mad Cowboy Interview with Rip, Mad Cowboy Interview with his father).

Video: "Animal Nation" by Peter Gabriel

"INTELLIGENT LIFE IS ALL AROUND US... incredible... what a wonderful chorus to this marvelous Peter Gabriel song.  Nails our relationship with other animal species.  And, it's not just mammals... recent research shows much more plant intelligence than previously expected.  Even from slime molds.

Enjoy... I'm overworked with the cookbook and other projects, but maybe this post will testify that that I'm still alive.  Best to all, Mark
