Help Save the Planet:  Eat Lentils

Now, you may think I’m trying to put one over on you.  But I’m not, really.  This advice comes from the Washington Post’s Climate Coach.

Say what?  Climate Coach?  Is that like a Life Coach?  A Planet-Saving Life Coach?  Well, sort of – the Post’s Climate Coach is Michael Coren.  Oh, not the famous Canadian theologian, radio host and writer.  A different Michael Coren, this one.

What does he do?  He writes an advice column.  He is the Dear Abby for the climate concerned.  He (and other authors of the Green Living section)  has advised readers of the Washington Post on home composting, how to buy Green Bonds, offered energy-saving tips for our home appliances, advised readers on green funeral options (from composting to natural burial to water cremation – NB: Those with weak stomachs should not follow the link on water cremation.), told us that we you should almost always wash our clothes with cold water and that we should be taking flights on planes burning re-processed French-fry oil.  All in the service of saving the planet, of course.

His latest advice for  the “Save the Planet®” crowd is: “eat lentils every day”.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

My methane production would go way up were I to consume a lot of lentils.

Someone hasn't thought this through...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
