PB&J for the planet

Okay, granted this isn't so much humor, but it's interesting, and as an American who frequently defends her country's national cuisine, I felt the need to post it: PB&J Campaign

What they're advocating is that people eat pb&j sandwiches (ie, plant-based meals) to reduce pollution, save resources, etc. Basically, what they're promoting is veganism*, but in a far less scary packaging (unless you think carbon footprints are scary).

Personally, I can't wait until the first pseudo-reports come out that eating nothing but pb&j puts Americans at a "serious dietary health risk."

* veganism is freakin' awesome.

peanut butter and jelly is very cost effective for its deliciousness... and has a much more innocent patriotism to it than say, double bacon 4th of July burgers.

Oh man... peanut butter and jelly bagel for lunch it is!

(p.s. loving those vegan cook books)

serious props to vegan cookbooks. The Joy of Vegan Baking is amazing, so easy and good!
I used to be pretty ambivalent about pb sandwiches but lately it's the next best thing to sliced-bread. or is that, the thing is best next to sliced bread?
I'm blushing.

i toast my pb&j's, does that make me somehow un-american? like an over-consuming french pain brulé freak-a-zoid from mars
