    POPS
    The cow you don't eat may save your life

     My kids have already become strict vegetarians while I'm beginning to become one. At least I don't eat red meat or pork, My decision was based on the economics (use of land vs nutrition) and on distribution of food world wide. By cutting out beef, pork, sheep, and goats as food sources we can live longer and so can the planet. Mice studies have shown that more protein in the diet causes the mice to grow faster, but the mice also age sooner and die earlier.

     Wow! My daughter lives in Texas and sent me this article. I wish I could see this web! Shades of "Arachnophobia"? But it must have been beautiful and now it is helping trap millions of mosquitos. We could use that here in Costa Rica. Hemorrhagic Dengue is very bad this year. But at least we have millions of spiders spinning webs.

     For years Costa Rica has allowed hotels, golf courses, and resorts to get away with illegal and dangerous waste disposal by simply dumping it into the ocean instead of forcing environmental impact planning and inspection and proper sanitation control. Some of Costa Rica's most beautiful and popular nature reserves and beaches have begun becoming so polluted that bathers are beginning to avoid certain areas of the beach because of the stench.
