the student said, "i'm reading a zen buddhist cookbook. with no recipes." and the teacher replied, "ah, dogen's instructions for the cook, written in 1237?" "yeah," said the student, "it's saying not to let rats fall into the rice pot"

letting rats fall into the rice pot violates the buddhist concept of nonviolence, ahimsa. and this is one of the more dauntingly advanced cookbooks i've ever seen

Good Articles on fur, fashion, and sustainability

I found a journalist who has been covering fashion for 15 years, who has written some great articles about the fur industry and sustainability. If you're really interested in these topics, here is some insight at Amy Odell's Back Row blog:

TL:DR: The fur industry has been shrinking for years as production and/or sale of new fur products gets banned in countries, states, and cities, and as clothing producers go fur-free.

An aside: an animal rights group put out what they say are leaked documents from the International Fur Federation. (PDF) Page 7 says "don't shoot the messenger" because, from their own analysis, the future of the fur industry doesn't look especially thriving.

TL:DR: Despite interviewing lots of textile sustainability experts, no one has been able to point to any good unbiased studies supporting or denying that claim. But then, lots of industries claim they're the "green option" without it being necessarily proven scientifically. That's capitalism!

More from Odell:

Cory Booker fasted and stood all day and all night and spoke till his voice nearly gave out for his constituents. And Republicans can't even show up to town halls. The contrast could not be starker. Let Senator Booker be an inspiration to us all. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power."
