Think this through...if the thing runs on used cooking
oil, where would the fuel come from if people stopped
eating French fries? Better that the fatties continue
eating the frites and the environment benefits from it...
Speaking of the environment, my next-door artist loaned
me a copy of the May 2006 Vanity Fair (one of his sketches
is in it), and it's their first "Green Issue." It contains
wonderful articles by Al Gore, Mark Hertsgaard, and others.
