Why do I highly doubt Gore and Tipper are vegans?
they aren't and that's what's so patently annoying about listening to him pontificate about global warming. same with listening to a corpulent michael moore complain about the state of u.s. healthcare. yes, these problems are real, but look in the MIRROR jerks! if you are participating in the most destructive environmental practice, don't expect to be able to have much credibility when you preach about them merits of environmentalism. it's like listening to a serial rapist advocate for women's rights. i know i'm not perfect, but at least i try... i'm vegan, i don't own a car, i try to shop at local farmer's markets and grow a little of my own food. if we would all just make small changes in the way we live, the difference would be profound. cut back on meat consumption by even a third or a half. carpool or take the bus (or bike or run) to work, take advantage of your local growers during the spring, summer, and fall. it's a no-lose scenario... you eat healthier, spend less money, support your local economy, and make a huge difference on your environmental footprint.
