  2. love how keen city council is to support this modest step – its a big enviro issue with energy use, emissions and water scarcity and biodiversity loss from all feed crops n deforestation for meat production! not to mention factory farm manure runoff contributing to algae blooms and aquatic deadzones which Ohioans have to look at seriously with our Northcoast in trouble. great veg foods diversify diets all over the planet its time every1 found out why its sucha tasty healthy way to support ag progress!
