Save the Earth: Eat Chocolate

Whole Foods, whose website brags about their green policies, has a new scam: Chocolate Change Chocolate Bars.

From the website:

Our Climate Change Chocolate bar is meant to educate while tasting great. It comes in a wrapper with 15 tips for lightening your environmental impact. These helpful hints teach you how to save energy by making small changes to your daily habits. And of course, thanks to Bloomsberry & Co., you can be sure the finest chocolate is attached to these green lifestyle lessons.

Ah, but that’s not all:

Climate Change Chocolate comes with a verified TerraPass offset of 133 pounds of carbon dioxide reductions, the average American’s daily carbon impact. We hope this small offset will be the first taste of a lower-carbon lifestyle for Whole Foods shoppers who decide to take responsibility for their climate change impact.

So what do you buy with your carbon offsets credits?

Windmills…that kill birds that belong to endangered species.Oh well, can’t win them all.

Of course, I shouldn’t be too hard on them, since Whole Foods doesn’t use slave chocolate. (The poor treatment of people working on cocoa plantations in certain African countries is notorious LINK… Whole Foods gets theirs from the Dominican Republic).

All this nonsense about a Massachusetts company insisting it should be canonized for it’s green policies is pretty nonsensical to those of us living in the third world, where food is covered with flies, not plastic, and where most of our food is grown or fished nearby.

And anyway, if one is really “green”, shouldn’t one only eat local foods in season, not imported processed fatty cholesterol raising food like Chocolate? And there just aren’t a lot of Cacao trees in New England.

So if you want to be green in New England, be green:

YUM! Rutabaga Chips !

NBC's NFL Green Moment: NFL's Response is No Response

"Can you help me? I'm trying to find somewhere else to live.
Besides NBC, I mean."

The news of NBC's attempt to get an "NFL Greenest Hightlights" bandwagon rolling by Hot Air, sends off alarm bells in conservative NFL fans. The addition of Keith 'Barking When Not Raving' Olbermann to the sports team was something remedied by turning off the sound. Now that NBC Sports has come out of the Green Closet and turned off the lights, what's left?

From Hot Air:

Geez. Football used to be one of the few places on earth you could escape moonbattery and politics in general. But not anymore, at least not on NBC. Noooo. First they had to put Keith Olbermann in their coverage. And now they pull a lame green stunt on their pre-game show by turning off some lights.

Exactly. It's not enough that NFL fans pay through the nose for everything connected with pro football. Now their ears are forced to bleed, a natural reaction at having Left Wing political views forced on them during telecasts.

Contacting the NFL's corporate offices took a bit of digging, to secure the phone number. After some confusion by the switchboard as to who should be consulted, Human Resources was rung. Matthew Kinney was not at his desk, but another Human Resources number was provided. That too proved to be a dead end.

After switching gears, the NFL Media office was contacted, but a voice message informed the caller that Meredith wasn't available either. Meredith wasn't available on several other tries. Maybe out marching in a "Save the Polar Bears" parade?

Oh well. More attempts will be made later.

In any event, no NFL response was able to be secured on what the football big-wigs thought about NBC's game show tactics. It's just as well, the NFL's calculus, as well as ultimately, NBC's, is weighted toward profit. If enough people are annoyed by having environmental messages unsubliminally supplied along with their football, they may turn off or switch channels on their TV.

Turning off the TV may turn the lights on.
