Eat your veggies, Al

PETA is after Al for eating meat with a campaign ominously called offsetalgore. It almost makes me sympathetic. But they are backed this time by some research, which I'm sure we'll all take to heart:

Speaking of which, researchers at the University of Chicago also found that converting to a vegan diet is about 50 percent more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to Tinseltown's fave Toyota: the Prius.

So eat your veggies, Al. Your mom was right. And stop telling the rest of us what to do. We all have had moms at one point in our lives. (Some of us even are moms.) For you, Al--this nice big piece of broccoli.

P.S. Do we need this bill in Illinois? A Clean Car Act? It sounds excessive. Expensive. Intrusive. Please see above.
