I am now packing my own mug (the ceramic one) so as not to
contribute to waste, so I'm glad Chef Dominique Crenn is encouraging
that, according to Janelle Bitker's article "Bay Area chefs wowrk to beome even more green" on June 21.
I wish the report also mentioned that she
doesn't serve meat at the restaurant that won Michelin stars.
But
how can Progress, whose slabs of skirt steak are featured above a picture of Chef
Crenn, be called "green"?
Granted, Progress deserves more credit than Arby's, whose marrot
has zero merit.
"Carrots for carnivores: Don’t expect better eyesight," July 19).
Unlike Arby's with its meat-filled carrots, Progress
is not defiantly opposing all positive changes brought
about by environmental organizations and those concerned with alleviating
animal suffering.
David Yaffe-Bellany's article on Arby's arrogance and stupidity cites climate experts'
finding that switching over to plant-based meat could help the environment by
eliminating thousands of tons of carbon emission.
Bitker's article on Bay Area chefs points out that agriculture
contributes to 30% of greenhouse gases, and we should remember that animal
agriculture uses about about
70% of agricultural land and is one of the leading causes of
deforestation, biodiversity loss, and water pollution.
"Bay Area chefs work to become even more green" should feature plant-based dishes, not slabs of meat.
