When Toronto renamed a street – twice
Bob Georgiou Streets, Toronto July 12, 2021 January 23, 2023 5 Minutes
As Toronto City Council looks at renaming Dundas Street over its namesake's support of slavery within the British empire, it is a reminder that it is not the first time the city has grappled with such an exercise.
Asquith Avenue runs about 350 metres east from Yonge Street just north of Bloor Street in Yorkville. Today, it is most known for being the home of the Toronto Reference Library. Hidden within its history is Asquith is not its original name; in fact, it was renamed twice before.

Annexation & Duplication
The origins of Asquith Avenue lay in the 1830s with the independent village of Yorkville. The street was originally known as Jarvis Street, named after one of the village's builders Sheriff William Botsford Jarvis.

When Yorkville was absorbed into the larger City of Toronto in 1883, the annexation created duplication in some street names between the two entities. There was already a Jarvis Street in Toronto (ironically, it is a candidate for renaming today for its own slave-owning connections). Named for Samuel P. Jarvis, it ran from the lake to its head at Bloor Street – and was only short distance away from the Jarvis Street in Yorkville. To avoid confusion, the smaller street was renamed.
"The names of the following streets in St. Paul's Ward, which conflicted with the names of other streets in Toronto were changed: – William-street to Hawthorn-avenue, Jarvis-street to Bismarck-avenue, Sydenham-street to Cumberland-street, York-street to McMurrich-street, Beverley-street to Boswell-street, Grange-street to Baker-street, Emma-street to Baxter-street, John-street to Roden-place, Balwin-street to Crown-street, Dufferin-street to Bernard-avenue, Victoria-avenue to Dobson-avenue, and Chestnut-avenue to Turner-avenue. The accounts were passed, and the meeting adjourned."

The new name chosen for the former Jarvis Street was Bismarck Avenue. It was named for Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian statesman and later German chancellor who was best known for unifying Germany in the 1870s. The change was proposed by German-born Alderman Newman Leopold Steiner, Toronto's first Jewish Alderman. In May 1883, Steiner read a communication from Prince Bismarck thanking Council for the naming honour.

"Lose all traces of Prussian Plutocracy"
Bismarck Avenue remained for another thirty years until World War I. Canada joined Great Britain in the Great War against Germany. As result, in 1915, the street name's relevance came into question.
Alderman J. George Ramsden — the local representative of St. Paul's Ward where Bismarck Avenue was located and the individual for which Ramsden Park is named for today — was an adamant champion for the street's renaming. In May 1915, Ramsden presented a petition of 400 signatures of local residents around Bismarck and moved to approve the change. Among the signatories was the Central Methodist Church on Bloor Street, which backed onto Bismarck. According to the Toronto Daily Star, the site of the church was given by the grandfather of one of the victims of the sinking of the Lusitania – an event that stirred great resentment against Germany and its people, even at home. The council meeting went as follows:
"For that reason it was the desire of the petitioners that Bismarck avenue should lose all trace of the German Chancellor and of Prussian plutocracy. (Applause)."
"Refuse to appoint Smith as Head of Fire Department", Toronto Daily Star, May 18, 1915, pg. 2
The Toronto Daily Star noted the Street Naming Committee normally only met in the fall, but given the circumstances, greater haste was needed. North Toronto previously had a street named for Kaiser Wilhelm, which was renamed by the the committee. Among the new possibilities for Bismarck were "Asquith", "Kitchener", and WWI battles in which Canadians prevailed such as "Ypres" and "Neuve Chapelle" (although newspaper also noted Torontonians may have trouble with their pronunciations).

At risk of change was more than just Bismarck Avenue, however. "If we change one or two German names, we might as well change all of them," Alderman Ramsden commented. There were 16 "Teuton" names across the city of Toronto and the goal was to erase any reference to Germany in the city.

Finally, in August 1915, along with a collection of German-origin names, Bismarck Avenue was formally changed to Asquith Avenue. The Globe explained the move in strong terms:
"No longer will the memory of Bismarck be perpepuated by the nameplate of a Toronto thoroughfare. The memory of the man of iron will be replaced by that of Great Britain's incomparable statesman, Premier Asquith."
"Bismarck gives way to British Premier," The Globe, August 11, 1915, pg. 7

The Power of Names
The history of Asquith Avenue is a great summary of how and why streets are named and/or renamed. In many cases, it is out of necessity to avoid duplication and confusion, often following municipal consolidation. In other situations, they are motivated by the idea of elimination an undesired connotation surrounding that street – that is, either as a re-branding or as a politically-motivated exercise.
That time Toronto renamed Ann(e) Street to Granby Street.
Why? To rid a bad reputation.
What was Ann(e) Street named after? "A dear old lady."
What was Granby Street named after? Who knows.#TOhistory pic.twitter.com/MZlyDedRvG

In the 1880s, the idea of honouring a German statesman may have made sense. Toronto had a historic community of German settlers and at least one decision-maker of German descent. During World War I, with Toronto and Canada in a conflict with universal ramifications, honouring German ties was perhaps not as obvious. Strengthening the British character of the city — as Toronto often did in other ways, sometimes to very racist outcomes — became a priority. It turned into a deliberate attempt to "erase" all German connections in the city (at least, on the surface).
Names, statues, and monuments reflect the dominant values of the society and people who at the time have the power — both socially and politically — to make those commemorations. The kinds of places that are marked change or should change as that society evolves – or, at least, be afforded the opportunity to hold fair and serious discourse on the possibility of doing so.
Names do not necessarily create, 'erase', or 'sterilize' history. They do, however, emphasize and prioritize the types of stories that are told or not told. The history of the naming of Asquith Avenue certainly shows that.

Dear Bob Georgiou,
I just read your interesting text above. I will gladly use some of the information given for a book on Bismarcks global reception. And I will also include the former Bismarck Avenue in Toronto into a google-map of Bismarck-Places around the world, see http://www.bismarckierung.de
If you are interested I can send a scan of the concept of Bismarck's answer for Steiner, dated April 27th 1883.
Best regards from Germany and thank you for your efforts,

Hello, Dr. Morgenstern,
I am very interested in the scan! Please email me at bob@scenesto.com. I am also curious about this Google Map too.
David Nash says:
Asquith Avenue runs east from Yonge, not west as stated.
Thank you, David — it has been corrected! I hope you were able to enjoy otherwise!


Hi Rachel, I'm looking for a tutor to teach .I would like to be tutored at my house. Please let me know if you are able to help and your availability. Thanks.
I am in my late twenties, based in Ingleby Barwick. I am willing to work with anyone & any age who needs help in either (or both) French & German; whether it is starting from scratch, or GCSE support.
Availability: Evenings during the week, except Monday & Friday.
Experience: I have trained as a secondary school French & German teacher & have 2 years teaching experience, ranging from y7 to y11. I am no longer a teacher (I have a German speaking job outside education), but have continued to tutor in my spare time.

Volero Zurich Outlasts Eczacibasi for Club Worlds Bronze
2017 FIVB Women's Club World Championship
Bronze Medal Match
Volero Zurich def. Eczacibasi Vitra 25-22, 25-15, 22-25, 23-25, 15-12
Volero Zurich wins Club World Championship bronze medal, matching its 2015 finish
After giving up a 2-0 lead in the match, Swiss champions Volero Zurich bounced back when it mattered most, snagging a 15-12 victory in Set 5 to take a 3-2 win over Eczacibasi Vitra for the Club World Championships bronze medal Saturday night.
"It was a good game," Volero Zurich coach Zoran Terzic said. "Every season this competition gets stronger. I am satisfied to get a medal. We finally played well under pressure. This is the first medal for me in this competition. I hope to get some more in the future."
In an evenly matched contest, Volero managed 65 kills to just 54 for Eczacibasi and served up 10 aces to three, but the Turkish side stayed in the match with 16 blocks (to 11 for Volero) and forced 26 errors.
Olesia Rhykliuk led all scorers with 25 points, putting down 20 kills and adding three aces and two blocks. Kenia Carcaces (16), American Foluke Akinradewo (16), Dobriana Rabadzhieva (14) and Ekaterina Orlova (13) also posted double-digit points outputs. Carcaces put down 14 kills, Akinradewo added 12 and Rabadzhieva managed 10. Akinradewo and Orlova put up three blocks apiece.
Tijana Boskovic carried Eczacibasi with 24 points, with 21 kills, two blocks and an ace, while Tatiana Kosheleva added 14 points, with much of them coming in sets three and four. Koshelova managed 10 kills and four blocks. Hande Baladin chipped in 10 points, care of seven kills and three blocks. American Jordan Larson-Burbach added three points, with two kills and a block.
"This was an important win for our club," Volero's Natayla Mammadova said. "It was good to finish the season with a positive feeling. I'm happy to get a medal and end the season like this. I'm proud of our team. It has been a tough season. Our opponents came back fighting hard after the first two sets."
In a tight first set, Volero led 8-6 early and held a narrow 16-15 edge later after a kill by Orlova. A service error gave the Swiss a little breathing room at 20-17. A Rykhliuk kill clinched it at 25-22.
Volero stormed out to a 10-3 in Set 2 and led 16-6 at the second technical timeout. The squad then maintained the 10-point advantage the rest of the way as Eczacibasi struggled in the 25-15 loss.
Eczacibasi regrouped at intermission and came out of the break to score six of the first 10 points in Set 3, including an Arisan block. Volero battled back to go ahead 16-13 at the second technical timeout, but Kosheleva knotted things up at 17 with a kill. Eczacibasi continued its 7-1 run to go up 20-17 on a hitting error. Boskovic sealed the win and extended the match with her seventh point of the set.
The teams were knotted at 12-all midway through Set 4. Eczacibasi took a 15-13 lead on a Boskovic putaway, but Volero answered with five of the next eight points to go ahead 18-16. The teams tied at 19 and 21, but Eczacibasi held strong for the 25-23 win.
The decisive fifth set saw Volero lead 8-6 at the changeover. Down 9-6, Eczacibasi called timeout and responded with a 5-2 run. The Turkish side tied things up at 11-all. A Carcaces ace gave Volero Zurich a 13-12 edge. An Orlova putaway and a hitting error by Kosheleva capped the match and captured the bronze for Volero.
"It was a tough match and our opponents deserved to win," Eczacibasi coach Massimo Barbolini said. "There were important little things that they managed to do. Both teams put on a nice show for the spectators. I am disappointed we lost a chance to get a medal in this tournament. We did all that we could today. This tournament was a good experience for me and the team."

Football League Cup
Rangers refuse cup tickets
Rangers supporters have their wish after chief executive Charles Green announced the Glasgow club will not accept their ticket allocation for February's William Hill Scottish Cup clash at Dundee United.
Rangers were drawn to play at Tannadice in the fifth round, with supporters' groups immediately calling for a stay-away protest for the first match away to Clydesdale Bank Premier League opposition since they were relaunched as a new company and denied entry to the SPL.
In a statement, Green said: "Rangers Football Club will not be taking its allocation of tickets for the forthcoming Scottish Cup match against Dundee United at Tannadice. This is a unanimous decision by the board, senior management and staff at Ibrox."
He added: "Everyone at this club is dismayed at the actions of certain SPL clubs, which were actively engaged in trying to harm Rangers when we were in a perilous situation and we are acutely aware of their attitude to us."
Rangers, who were knocked out of the competition by United twice in the three years before they were consigned to liquidation, have fallen to Second Division Queen of the South and Inverness in the other cup competitions this season, but did beat Motherwell 2-0 in the Scottish Communities League Cup.
United earlier refused to comment on reports of a possible fans' boycott, with some Rangers fans believing Stephen Thompson, the chairman at Tannadice, was an influential figure in their demotion to the Irn-Bru Third Division. It is understood United have a board meeting on Wednesday with the issue on the agenda.
Green added: "Not all clubs who voted against Rangers returning to the SPL fall into that category and indeed we made Motherwell very welcome when we played them at Ibrox in the League Cup competition recently.
"However, feelings remain very raw and it should be no surprise that we as a club feel this way. It is unsurprising too that there has been a reaction from our supporters to this particular fixture
"The last thing we as a club want to do is to compromise security arrangements for any match. I therefore appeal to all fans not to travel to this match and to Dundee United not to sell tickets to Rangers supporters.
"Our only regret is that this turn of events will not assist Ally McCoist and the team in what will be a very difficult fixture. We should make clear that the club, the manager and the players all look forward to a situation where Rangers fans attend every match to support the team. The fans are our greatest asset."


In the 16 years since the launch of Observer Food Monthly, the British food scene has changed beyond all recognition. Artisan coffee shops are now a feature of many high streets, both well-known chains and relatively new franchises have expanded aggressively, independent gastropubs and eateries have exploded in number, and supermarket shelves are stacked with exotic ingredients catering to every fad diet imaginable. It feels as if we have more choice than ever before.
In a sector which is at risk of becoming oversaturated, the 'modern gastronomer' can now be increasingly discerning when indulging in Britain's new favourite pastime. With nearly a quarter of people in the UK eating fast food every week, eateries are adapting and reacting to consumer demand, with such things as new delivery services expanding on the classic takeaway. Fast food and café chains are catering to adventurous eaters with added healthy or premium options, whilst the expectation amongst consumers is to offer convenience, health, taste and experience.
What's driving this relentless trend towards gourmet fast food? There are numerous factors at play, but we believe two in particular are key driving forces.
First of all, Britain's citizens appear to be developing increasingly discerning tastes. Simply observe the inexorable rise of craft beer over the past few years, and you'll see how the modern British consumer is more willing than ever to spend more to get better quality, locally produced, well branded products. Fried chicken, burgers, fish & chips, hot dogs, even the humble steak slice; almost all of our fast food favourites have been given the 'craft' treatment in the last few years, and the trend doesn't show any sign of slowing.
The other cornerstone of the growth in gourmet fast food is closely tied to recent wellness trends. More than ever, British consumers want food that is both healthy and ethical. Cosmopolitan Brits are increasingly responsible, both for the environment and for their own health, and are projecting these desires into the fast food they're buying. Pret A Manger, for example, recorded a 14.5% increase in sales in 2015, largely thanks to its new focus on healthy eating and organic, fair trade ingredients. Their 'Veggie Pret' in Soho proved so successful, in fact, that the pop-up has now become a permanent fixture. More and more outlets are following suit by offering up greener, healthier options, and seeing positive results.
For FMCG brands to ride this potentially lucrative trend, they need to do more than just offer a £20 veggie burger. Modern consumers crave authenticity, honesty, and a brand they can connect with. Blending all of these ingredients with a dose ethical responsibility, provenance, craftsmanship and quality, and you're onto a surefire winner. Easy, right?

Q: How to add Foreign Key and Cascade properties with Sequelize? I want to implement this MySQL query with Sequelize for my express.js Model.
CREATE TABLE `Serivce_Area` (
  `service_area_id` int auto_increment primary key,
  `service_id` int not null,
  `area_id` int not null,
  FOREIGN KEY (service_id) REFERENCES Service_Credential(service_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
  FOREIGN KEY (area_id) REFERENCES Area_Details(area_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
);

Here I have two other tables named Service_Credential and Area_Details with two primary keys naming service_id and area_id. This is how far I've done.
const serviceArea = sequelize.define('Serivce_Area', {
    service_area_id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        autoIncrement: true,
        allowNull: false,
        primaryKey: true
    },
    service_id:{
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        allowNull: false
    },
    area_id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        allowNull: false
    },
});

But I'm having trouble with adding the Foreign Key and Cascade properties. I have checked the documentation. But still I'm not sure how to do it. Besides, some stackoverflow answers contains belongsTo and hasMany properties which I'm not sure how to use in this situation. Please help me with this.

A: My friend helped me with this solution. And it worked.

Kim Kardashian finally got a chance to attend the infamous Met Gala. Unfortunely she looked horrible. The theme was "PUNK: Chaos to Couture." Kim showed up looking like a big ole couch, like the vintage kind that's over your great Aunt's house. I don't know why her good boo, Kanye West let her come out the house like that. I am not giving her a pass on this train wreck. I don't care if she is pregnant, she should have stayed at home or wore something that was cute…hell, all black could have worked. When you this big, you know floral isn't the print for you.
Please go over to CottonKandi to see more pictures of Kim & Kanye on the red carpet. Kanye looked very uncomfortable. I would be mad too if my baby momma tried too hard and end up falling miserably.
One word….. "Whyyyyy". This was a fail!
bahahahaha!!!!! She looked horrible. I can't deal.
I liked it! Well, I liked it better than Beyonce's outfit. She looked maternal, that's for certain.
I thought Bey looked amazeballs. Kim, not so much. Still laughing at that vine vid of Kanye!!!!!
Haa I thought the same thing!
Looks like she tore her curtain's off the wall and wore them.
She got played. I feel for her. Kanye must have been pissed.

All five permanent members of the UN Security Council (U.S., U.K., France, Russia, and China) as well as Pakistan, and India have nuclear weapons. Israel is widely believed to have nuclear weapons, and North Korea has exploded three nuclear devices.
See our policy briefing on Nuclear weapons CLICK HERE!
Peace Action is working to cut nuclear weapons spending, accelerate the process of dismantling nuclear weapons slated for decommissioning and push the Obama administration to declare its strategy for fulfilling its pledge set the world on a path to nuclear zero, a goal that MAPA also strongly supports. Nuclear weapons make the world less safe. As long as nuclear weapons exist, the threat of use also exists, whether intentional or accidental. Nuclear materials also remain vulnerable to theft or sale for illicit purposes. While states cling to their nuclear arsenals saying they are necessary for their security and the security of their allies, other states will also seek these weapons for their own security. And whether or not you believe deterrence "worked" during the Cold War, it is impossible to believe nuclear weapons could deter non-state actors or terrorists, who by definition have no territory or population to threaten with nuclear retaliation.
In 2009, President Obama gave a speech in Prague in which he said that he U.S. seeks the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. In a follow-up speech in Berlin last month, the president stated, "so long as nuclear weapons exist, we are not truly safe." The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2011 (New START) negotiated between the U.S. and Russia was a clear victory in progress towards nuclear disarmament. Still, there is room for improvement in the President Obama's approach to nuclear weapons. His administration has initiated what will turn out to be a one trillion dollar nuclear weapons modernization plan over the next three decades.
Modernization of the U.S. nuclear arsenal will involve the construction of new submarines and refurbishment of old warheads. It will also mean the continued maintenance of 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles. The one trillion dollar estimate for what modernization would ultimately cost may end up being too low. All of this money going towards construction of new weapons could do enormous good right now in social services, housing, education, and health care.
The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also referred to as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), codifies a 3-part bargain: 1) nuclear weapon states parties are obligated to negotiate in good faith toward nuclear disarmament; 2) non-nuclear weapon states parties will not seek to acquire nuclear weapons; and 3) all states have the right to use nuclear energy - under international monitoring - for peaceful purposes. Negotiations began in 1968 and the Treaty was opened for signature and entered into force in 1970.

As owner Lindsey Hoover says: "Yoga is the glue that holds everything in life together."
Yarrow Hot Yoga and Wellness Studio is a place of healing. For current owner Lindsey Hoover, that quickly drew her into the studio.
Hoover began at Yarrow as a student, taking classes periodically and looking to find healing for herself. She began practicing at Yarrow and, quickly, the yoga and the community within the studio made an impact on Hoover's life, emotionally and physically.
"There was no doubt that this was something I was going to do for the rest of my life," Hoover says.
Hoover then began teaching, as she wanted to share with others what she had been learning through her practice. After working as an instructor, Hoover managed the studio, then took ownership of Yarrow three years ago. For Hoover, it's been three years of fostering a community of healing at Yarrow.
"What I hold very, very close and value, and what I hold true to the studio, is Yarrow is a protected place of healing for everyone," Hoover says. "It doesn't matter how old you are, where you come from, who you are, you can let down your wall and cleanse yourself.
"Yoga is the glue that holds everything in life together," Hoover says.
And Yarrow achieves this goal, in part, through its teachers.
"Our teaching staff is so fine-tuned and well-trained, and so deep in their practice, it's truly unique to Yarrow," Hoover says.
Also unique to Yarrow is the space — something Hoover recognized from her first day.
"I fell in love with studio from day one," Hoover says. "The studio itself is stunning. It's spacious, there are copious amounts of natural light that fill the space. I always say, 'We love people and we love the Earth.'"
Yarrow was built with ecologically sustainable materials, from the wood, to the cleaning supplies, to the retail sold at the front. This is a lifestyle and business choice Hoover celebrates and adopted from the previous owner.
"She really did create a beautiful space, and I believe it is important to keep that true to the studio," Hoover says.
The community at Yarrow calls each other family — growing and healing together in a safe and empowering studio.

Responding to Jay D. Myers letter, "A problem solver", July 28, he asked the question, and I quote, "What could be a more heartwarming story than reuniting parents and children who should have never been separated?
Well, I would say that maybe reuniting all the aborted babies with their mothers first would be a more heartwarming story.
But since that is an impossibility I would like to suggest to all of the illegal immigrants that unless you want to be separated from your children for an undetermined amount of time, do not come into the United States illegally. And if you are you are already here, get out!
Now, wouldn't that be a heart warming story?

Pastor Dan's Blog
PASTOR DAN'S THOUGHTS ON VEGETARIANISM
Ah, more questions from the readers:
Q: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VEGETARIANISM? WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS FOR EATING OR NOT EATING MEAT? WHAT ARE YOU PRACTICING RIGHT NOW?
Our church did a 21-day Daniel Fast, which is primarily a vegan diet – no eggs, dairy, sugar and white rice. Many of our members said that because of the fast, they felt better, looked better, weighed less and could think more clearly. So there definitely are benefits to eating more fruits and vegetables, and less meat. And there are other foods from which we can get our protein other than meat.
Contrary to what many may think, I am not a vegetarian. I am just compassionate towards animals and conscientious about what I eating.
My wife Pam cooks mostly vegetarian dishes. Though I will eat meat, we lean more toward non-meat foods. For me it's for three reasons: for good stewardship of the earth that the Lord has given us, for better health, and compassion for animals.
In Genesis 1:26, the Bible says we have dominion over animals, but I don't believe "dominion" means it's okay to be cruel to them. By definition, "dominion" means "sovereignty" and "controI." However, it means something bigger in the Genesis passage. We were created in God's image, which makes us representatives of Him. God will not do cruel things to animals He created, so neither should we. Some define "dominion" (from the Hebrew word) as "an invitation to be like God." Hence, for us to have dominion over animas is to try to be good and responsible representatives of the King.
When God made a COVENANT between Himself and the people, it is a promise to protect, save and nurture them, as He did with Noah and the rest of humanity. But did you know that He made that covenant with all living things?
"I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." God said to Noah, 'This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.' " (Genesis 9:13-15)
God made a promise with all creatures, including animals, to protect and save them when needed. In that light, I don't support the practice of raising calves in very small cages just so they can be served as tender veal. Nor do I like the method of forcing food down the throats of geese or ducks to make their livers burst just so we can have what is needed to make foie gras. To me forced-feeding, or gavage, is very cruel.
I think I got more compassionate about animals after reading the book, "Dominion: the Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals and the Call to Mercy" (Matthew Scully, 2002). Because of his Christian faith, Scully challenged people to find out if dominion over all things meant, for example, killing elephants for their tusks, or capturing and breeding them (or other animals) for circus entertainment when they are meant to be free. Scully doesn't say that animals have "equal rights" with people, but he believes that there should be "animal rights" for their protection. They do have feelings and some species have mates for life.
I don't think it's good to hunt for sport if one doesn't eat what was hunted, or if only one part of the animal is used and the rest are discarded. It's not much of a sport, is it, to have a high-powered rifle with a long scope that finishes off a duck, a deer or an elephant? Not much of a contest at all between the hunter and the hunted.
My wife's forest ranger cousin told me he eats everything he shoots, and he only goes after animals whose population cannot be handled by the land. I get that. Like me, he is against cruelty to animals and hunters who shoot mainly for sport.
I tend to not want to eat smart animals, like pigs, because with greater intelligence means greater feelings. We normally do not eat dogs because they are cute. Pigs are as or even more intelligent than dogs, but they since pigs aren't as cuddly, they're the ones that get eaten. Ah, this world always favors the beautiful ones!
For personal reasons, I tend to not eat shrimp because I know that the shrimp nets the trawlers use inadvertently trap and cause the death of turtles and dolphins, too. Greenpeace says that 80% of what shrimp trawlers catch in the sea, dead or alive, is thrown back. It's called "bycatch."
Greenpeace says that 300,000 cetaceans (dolphins, whales and porpoises) die as bycatch every year. They are caught in the nets and can't escape. They literally drown since, like us, they're mammals and they need to breathe air.
I tend to lean towards soy products, beans, fruits and vegetables because these promote good health. There's a plus in this for the environment, too. If our diets, for example, consisted more of beans than meat and chicken, there would be more food to go around to help the poor of the world. It takes an inordinate amount of land and water to sustain livestock just so we can have meat. Raising these animals also cause 18%-plus of greenhouse gas emissions, which is more that emissions from motor transportations.
If we believe a 2006 United Nations report that projects out to 2050, we might want to change our diet to make this a safe planet for our children.
"Cattle-rearing generates more global warming greenhouse gases, as measured in CO2 equivalent, than transportation, and smarter production methods, including improved animal diets to reduce enteric fermentation and consequent methane emissions, are urgently needed.
"Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today's most serious environmental problems," senior UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) official Henning Steinfeld said. "Urgent action is required to remedy the situation."
Cattle-rearing is also a major source of land and water degradation, according to the FAO report, "Livestock's Long Shadow–Environmental Issues and Options" of which Mr. Steinfeld is the senior author.
"The environmental costs per unit of livestock production must be cut by one half, just to avoid the level of damage worsening beyond its present level," it warns.
When emissions from land use and land use change are included, the livestock sector accounts for 9 per cent of CO2 deriving from human-related activities, but produces a much larger share of even more harmful greenhouse gases. It generates 65 per cent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2. Most of this comes from manure.
And it accounts for respectively 37 per cent of all human-induced methane (23 times as warming as CO2), which is largely produced by the digestive system of ruminants, and 64 per cent of ammonia, which contributes significantly to acid rain.
With increased prosperity, people are consuming more meat and dairy products every year, the report notes. Global meat production is projected to more than double from 229 million tonnes in 1999/2001 to 465 million tonnes in 2050, while milk output is set to climb from 580 to 1043 million tonnes.
So, if our diets leaned more towards fruit and vegetables, we would be better stewards of the land. If you have watched the movie "Food Inc." like I have, you know how the fast food industry has changed the way we eat. And it's not toward more health, but less.
I have seen "The Cove," an Oscar Award-winning film that exposes the cruel slaughter of dolphins for food in a small seaside village in Japan. The film also exposes how eating those dolphins pose a serious threat to human health. I've always liked dolphins (very smart mammals) so this documentary struck a chord with me.
The movie also contends that it is highly cruel for whales and dolphins to be held in captivity for entertainment, like how they do it at Sea Life Park, the Kahala Hotel and the Hilton Hawaiian Village here in Hawaii. These mammals were meant to be free and would hate to be trapped, just as us humans would. (Now I'm sounding like the producer of "Free Willy"!). In fact, "The Cove" is about the man who used to train the dolphins for the old TV Show, "Flipper."
Elephants mate for life, yet we tear apart their families so we can have elephants in circuses for our entertainment. And we say, "But they're just animals. They don't have feelings like humans." Granted, I don't think animal have the same feelings as humans, but I do believe they have feelings, and we are to be like a kind King or Queen over them as part of our stewardship from God.
Before the fall of man in the book of Genesis, God told Adam and Eve that they could eat of the plants in the Garden of Eden, and He never said to eat the animals; they were just to name them.
Genesis 1:29 "God said, 'See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food."
Genesis 2:16 "And the Lord commanded the man, 'You may freely eat of every tree in the garden.'"
It's interesting how specific the Lord was. He told Adam and Eve to eat of every tree of the garden. There was no mention of eating the animals. That is certainly not text proving that we should all go vegetarian or be an advocate for endangered species, but that certainly would make an interesting discussion with your friends or with your small group, wouldn't it? The animals were only killed for food after the Fall of Adam and Eve. Imagine if Noah had a hearty appetite to eat all of the meat on the ark! Oh well, there goes some species. Today if we are not careful we will make some species go extinct, and, of course, thousands already have.
Some might ask, "What about the animal sacrifices in Israel during biblical times?" Chances are Jesus participated in animal sacrifices, as was the custom of all Israelites at that time. But then again those were sacrifices directed by God for His people for the atonement of their sins. Sacrifices were not supposed to be nice as they involved the purest and most innocent of animal to be chosen and killed. So it was an exceptional act, not to be done daily. Kill the purest little lamb. That's why it was called a "sacrifice "– it was a horrible death of the innocent.
I also read a book called, "The China Study" (by T. Collin Campbell, Thomas Campbell II, Howard Lyman and John Robbins), which presented the results of the authors' study of the health of different groups of people in China based on what they eat. They found that the people in the more primitive western China who have a high-vegetable/low-meat diet hardly had any cases of cancer or diabetes. But those in more progressive cities, like Shanghai and Beijing, where the people have adopted American/European ways and eating practices, have more cases of cancer and diabetes. This book really made Pam and me look at our own eating habits. It was a pivotal reading.
So, yes, I do eat meat, and I do enjoy steak now and then. I also have found that free-range chicken and cattle do taste better and perhaps it's because I know they've been treated more humanely than chickens and cows raised in factory farms. But I do try the majority of time not to eat animals. But if a church member asks me over for dinner and they are serving meat, I will eat it with thankfulness to my host.
Am I a hypocrite? No, I never said I was a vegetarian. I am a "flexitarian." I flex. I do eat different things. If I eat meat I would go for fish more than beef. But I use the iPhone app called "Seafood Watch" from Monterrey Bay Aquarium, which allows me to know which fish and which sushi (really I am not kidding!) to eat or to avoid it they are endangered. Waiters love it when I read the menu and pull out my app.
A friend of mine says he is a "conscientious omnivore." Maybe that is what I am. Maybe as Christians we should all be.
For me, it's all part of being a Christ-follower and striving to love all – humans, animals and the earth. Many Chinese restaurants serve vegetarian meals with substitutes that look and taste like beef, chicken, pork or fish. Praise the Lord!
I like the first scene of the movie, "The Last of the Mohicans" where after the North American Indians killed a deer, they thanked "brother deer" for giving up his life so they can eat him. I like that because it portrays sensitivity to life and they are aware of its origin. We are in this together, inter-related, as St. Francis would say.
So I eat meat, but I am always grateful for the life given. And if I eat less meat, more fruits and vegetables and still be able to get my protein through beans, eggs, nuts, quinoa, and tofu, then I think I'm doing my share in protecting and preserving the land the Lord has given us.

Good life lessons on failure and success
In case you haven't seen it yet, Conan O'Brien's commencement speech at Dartmouth is worth watching. The first 85% is his wonderfully witty and self-deprecating comedy, leading up to the good stuff at the very end. He gives his heartfelt philosophy on success, failure and disappointment…it's so authentic and life-giving. A must-view.

UNLIKELY ANIMAL FRIENDS
The prophet Isaiah wrote about a time when natural predators will be living alongside each other (Isaiah 11:6). Looks like that is starting to be true at "Noah's Ark," a wildlife rehab center south of Atlanta, GA, where a bear, a lion and a tiger live together in a clubhouse. Check this out.
