"Every time an American bites down on a steak or hamburger, they're contributing to global hunger, Roberts says. As other countries become more affluent, they're copying our meat-heavy diet. The problem: It takes so much grain and other resources to produce meat, he says." -- CNN

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.- Mark Twain

"My dream is that every 17 year-old could be an exchange student. If the world could achieve this, there would be no more wars" president of Rotary International

Not all who wander are lost...

"Be the change that you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

"The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." - G.K. Chesterton

"Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times." Gustave Flaubert
