“Food is a Weapon,” Environmental Action, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Behavior Change
Food and Environmental Impact
Somehow the slogan “food is a weapon” makes me think of food fights. We are familiar with some kinds of food fights, the kind when someone tries to make you eat something you know is going to cause IBS symptoms like diarrhea, gas, cramps, constipation.
This arresting poster
comes from World War II. The poster is a reminder that all kinds of environmental actions took place in order to assist the United States in the war effort.
Blog Action Day
As you know if you visit this blog repeatedly, I have a column devoted to public service ads, including a “tree in a widget.” That’s a low-key reminder to people not to slack off on environmental activism. Today, though, is “Blog Action Day,” a simple call to all bloggers to post something about the environment.
Behavior Change
Thus, this post. The source for the poster is the “No Impact Man” web site. He blogs about living a life that has no impact on the environment–and he lives in New York City! With a restaurant-loving wife and one child! Check out the noimpactman.typepad.com post on “Changing our Behavior.”
For My Tummy is a blog that’s dedicate to helping ourselves to change behavior about the food we eat. Can we parlay that expertise we’ve gained into reducing our impact on the environment? Does it take a War Office or similar governmental organization to push us into the kind of change that will avert disaster? What are your thoughts?
