A LIFESTYLE GUIDE

ARIAN          BY BLAKE WILLIAMS
I remember when I was a boy
                                                 my mother always told me,
                                    “Eat your vegetables, young man.”

But, She doesn’t have to tell me anymore.
                     Now, I’ve learned to love them.

                                                                    My parents taught me
                                                                          to cherish life.

                                                   I care about a lot of things.

                                                           to darker sides of reality.

“According to Gerald Zirnstein, a
                      former Department of Agriculture
                      scientist, 70 percent of ground beef
                      sold in supermarkets contains pink
                      slime, a goo made out of waste
                      trimmings previously reserved for dog
                      food and cooking oil.”

“Many studies have shown that
             vegetarians seem to have a lower risk of
             obesity, coronary heart disease (which
             causes heart attack), high blood pressure,
             diabetes mellitus and some forms of
             cancer.”
