The signs of recession in the world economy have now become more visible. Everyday, news of layoffs and downsizing by the big companies are pouring in. The demand for energy which has been the driving force behind the economic growth, has slowed down in the recent past, pulling down the oil prices drastically. This affects the oil based economies more, like Alberta. I have a feeling that we overreact to situations. When the economy is strong we become unrealistically optimistic and when the down trend starts we become too passimist.
Although the recession has its own long periodical recovery cycle, but I hope the things will turn better by the time we complete our accounting course and come in the job market.

Food Options

In the ancient times when the mobility was low, people had fewer options to choose their diet patterns. Regional factors such as arable land, climate, vegetation, etc. determined the diet patterns. But the world has galloped a lot ahead and individuals now have the choice to decide their meals.

In my view the human anatomy supports the vegetarian diet more.

All flesh eating animals (carnivores) have short intestines, because the animal meat they feed on is prone to fast decay and rottening and hence is required to pass through a short processing zone and expelled out of the system quickly . On the contrary, all the herbivorous animals have long intestines, as the food they eat does not rot or get toxic early. The human intestines are not short and hence support the vegetarian diet more as compared to the diets based on animal meat.

When an animal is slaughtered, it petrifies and out of fear its internal glands start generating and secreting a substance, which makes its flesh toxic to some extent. It may be a different kind of reason to support vegetarianism.

Some people have the misplaced notion that the vegetarian diet is not complete in itself. Various research studies have now proved that the vegetarians are more likely to lead a healthy and probably longer life.

Any comments
