In Security by Bea R. for November 15, 2017

“Sure did. Which one of you wants it?”

Thanksgiving can be a difficult holiday for vegetarians and vegans.

FYI, meat production has a much larger “Carbon Footprint” than vegetable production.

Cattle, in addition, generate sizable quantities of methane via their digestive systems.

Seems I’d read somewhere – and it sounds silly, but apparently this is legit – that scientists were giving serious study to the concept of splicing selected kangaroo DNA into cattle, as ‘Roo’s digestive tracks are similar, but don’t produce methane.

Seems every panel might be framed at a tilted “Dutch Angle,” though the effect is most prominent in Panel #1.

The lettering in Mom’s word balloon in Panel #4 looks slightly crowded towards the right: This arc has been a bit heavier on dialogue than usual – necessarily so, as you’re establishing incoming characters – still, might want to be mindful.

Does such a turkey exist?

“It’s a real turkey Mom, got it with the old 12 gauge.”

They could also eat cardboard.

I’m surprised they’re not hollering at him for eating meat in the first place.

TMI.

Are sam’s parents close friends of the goodes?

“We are glad to see you both again.” Boy, I’ll bet that feeling isn’t mutual.

They do know that gluten is found in wheat products, not turkey?

Samson, eh? ;D

Oh, my. Time to get out the turkey shaped Tofu for those two yahoos. There is no gluten in Turkey! Free trade? Okay, I trade my time to eat my turkey and you take your time to leave.

its almost like bea is wanting us to hate them…. i mean vegan turkey? so…tofu?

“Take that coal company!” This from a guy that drives what appears to be a gas guzzling vehicle and has no sense by parking on the grass that consumes C02. And that is not a KIA, I own a KIA and there is no KIA van or suv that is bigger than that car. I think it might be a HUMMER or one of those big Chevy or Fords.

Okay, S & S, expose these two irresistible forces to each other and just before the detonation slip out and head for a restaurant.

I’m from California and these goobers remind me of the residents of Berkeley…

The point is that we need to eat less meat and more vegetables etc. While world population approaches 8 billion most of them have barely enough to eat and while we in the 3 billion consume more than the 4 billion poorer peoples. Just the US alone makes up just 6% of the population yet consume 25% of the resources and generate 25% of the global waste. If everyone did that we would be depleted and dying in less than year. And there are not 4 other Earths to use.

1 lb of meat = 10 lbs of water used and 12 lbs of greenery to make it. A terrible waste of space, and greens if we grew edible ones for us instead of for cows. It is a question of logic and necessity. Sooner or later the bottom is going to fall out if we don’t curb our consumption rates. You can’t grow out of it since there is no place to grow. When you add logistics it becomes a “bitch” of a problem.
