Reminds of Spielburg’s movie Artificial Intelligence, in which they show Earth at 2040 with depicts a total melt down of poles. NY city is lost to the seas and at the same time, there are “MECA” i.e. robots as intelligent as humans. What looked like science fiction, now appears more and more like reality.

How Quiznos is discriminating against vegetarians and demoting vegetarianism:
I used to be a regular at Quiznos, to grab a medium veggie sub. They have better quality bread when comparing with Subway.

But now I don’t feel like going there any more. Why? well they demote my spirit of vegetarianism by charging almost $7 for a medium veggie sub, while only $5 for a large meat sub. It feels like I am being stiffed for being a vegetarian. There is no way on Earth meat could be cheaper than vegetables. But Quiznos wants to compete with Subway, so they dropped their meat sub prices.

A healthy and responsible society should promote vegetarians to have a natural harmony with environment. If you are wondering what has nature to do with being a vegetarian. Well, a lot. The meat industry produces a 5th of all green house emissions. Forest is cleared to produce the fodder for the cattle and then there is methane. Methane is a by product of decaying cattle feces. Methane is 26 times more green house effective than carbon di oxide.

A veggie sub should never be more expensive than a meat sub, at least not in Florida. If I was living in South pole with the penguins, where the only option was meat, then it would make sense. I am boycotting Quiznos for their discriminating attitude towards vegetarians.
