Why has so much of the fertile Okanagan been shifted from fruit production to wine production, when we need food but (let's face it) really don't need alcohol? Thank you to the BC govt for helping fruit growers in their current financial troubles. For the long-term, however,

Gutsy study on #dietarychange for #climate and so much more: In a university cafeteria, researchers doubled the vegetarian meal offerings -- without telling anyone. Eaters then chose twice the usual veggie options, reported slightly greater meal satisfaction, and >90% didn't even
