Big Hollywood —

Natalie Portman is a vegetarian – a vegan, to be precise – and she thinks you should be one too. At least, that’s the impression I get from her article at the Huffington Post .

I just finished “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” today, which by the way is an amazing book if you’re at all interested in where your food comes from, and at one point the author has hooked up with some mushroom gatherers and one of their hunting adages seemed strangely applicable to trading. It’s kind of scary that ...3 weeks ago -
