Sorry guys, but no more barbecue for me.

I read an article last week that said by kids eating a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich instead of grilled cheese, their carbon footprint can be
reduced by 250 pounds a year. That got me thinking.

Making good barbecue takes hours of burning fuel, be it wood, propane,
charcoal, or any combination of fossil fuels. What kind of example are we
sending out kids? Eating good food is just plain BAD for the environment.
Just look at all that smoke in the air that we add on a regular basis.
Sinful, I say. We should be sorry for the damage we've caused over the years
by melting the Polar ice caps by eating pulled pork. Every time you pull
your pork, a baby seal dies.

Not wanting Al Gore to drive up in his Escalade to chastise me, I'm giving
up cooked foods. For the benefit of our children and all children of the
earth, my future diet will consist of peanut butter, dandelion greens, and
rainwater.

I don't want to sound like a preacher, but I'm suggesting that all of you
review your eating habits too. Cooking = bad. Barbecue = global warming.
For the sake of the polar bears, stop it now. Join in and make the world a
better place and eat greens.

Thank you for your support.
