MAKING THE CONNECTION

Granted, it's probably easier to go vegetarian in Taiwan than in the cowboy-and-beef-soaked USA, but still, this is heartening, and points to growing awareness of the indisputable connection between livestock production and carbon emissions. If these politicians and role models are actually committing to change their eating for the rest of their life that's pretty astonishing. Even if this is sloppy reporting and they're only going vegetarian for one year, that's still pretty impressive, and it would be great if we could get some version of this going over here.
