Turkey Day 2012!

[BrownEye]

Nearly 2 million pounds of grain were needed to make 3 million Tofurkys. In comparison, "to make this much turkey meat would require almost 20 million pounds of grain. Therefore ... almost 18 million pounds of grain [have been] saved," according to a Turtle Island Foods statement.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that Americans will consume 12.5 percent less turkey meat this year than in 2008.

"A 2011 Harris Poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group of Baltimore, MD, concluded that 17 percent of Americans now eat 50 percent of all their meals without meat," the statement added.

What I notice is that a small percentage of population actually "changes". While the majority still attempts to hold to what they "believe".

When people believe the “reality,” it reinforces the pattern. This is why “social norms” are considered so important these days—a consensus reinforcement. If people thought for themselves, those potential realities would collapse. http://www.soldierhugs.com/wp-content/up...ines-1.pdf
