1. More Millennials are Going Veg

NPR commentator Bonny Wolf explains that younger generations are moving toward veg diets out of concern for health, animals and the environment. She rightly states, “Vegetables have moved from the side to the center of the plate.

And as another year begins, it appears that plants are the new meat.” Please visit Vegetables Likely to Take More of Your Plate in 2016


2. This Week’s Famous Quote

With love and understanding awakening in us, compassion expands to include ever-larger circles of beings. Compassion may be seen as the highest form of love, for it is the love of the divine whole for all its parts and is reflected in the love of the parts for each other. It includes the urge to act to relieve the suffering of apparent others, and this urge requires us to evolve greater wisdom and inner freedom to relieve suffering more effectively. Compassion is thus both the fruit of evolution and the driving force behind it. Love yearns for greater love.

~ Dr. Will Tuttle, The World Peace Diet
