  we're ominvores and part of this earth

  I have to agree with nlh. Could the world eat less meat? Sure but the key word is less not none at all. I am part of the food chain and part of the cycle of life. As a human being, I'm meant to be an omnivore. There are nutrients you cannot get in a vegan diet without artificially supplementing it. And yes soy milk fortified with calcium and B12 is a supplement. I'm just not going to place animals higher than my own nature.

  I will ensure that my meat that I consume is from a humane farm. 98% of my meat comes within 50 miles of where I live from farms that I visit. The price is higher than just going to a mega mart but we eat less meat as a result. I also make sure to eat as much whole foods as I can and as little processed foods as I can. Which frankly is more than I can say for the tofutti, wheat seitan, soy cheese, veganaise eating vegans that I know.

  response to  GOOD magazine and David Albertson's post Teacher Salaries

  a little confusing is it really apples to apples

  Hard to tell from this infographic if the white collar worker you're comparing teacher's salaries to also has at least a bachelors (in some states masters are required), whether they're in jobs that require recertification every 6 years (as in my state), etc.

  Are the avg teachers salaries listed an average of the actual salaries of teachers in that state or the average of the salary ranges a teacher can make? I've seen far too many comments about teachers salaries elsewhere that list the highest salary that teachers can make in a district. They never say whether there are any teachers that actually make that salary. For example the highest one in my husband's district is something like $65K. That's for someone who has taught for at least 20 years and has a masters. No one in his district is getting that salary.
