I was hanging out in a local alehouse after work last week when I got into a conversation with the waitress about being vegetarian. The top two most common questions I get about it are; 1) how long have you been vegetarian, and 2) what do you eat? Answering the first one was easy… I’ve […]

This article in Science points to a surprising trend… life expectancies trend upward during a recession, and trend downward during periods of excess abundance.
