Dear Jack - the power of punctuation - from Lynn Truss' "Eats, shoots, and Leaves."

http://www.onlinegrammar.com.au/the-power-of-punctuation/

 Lynne Truss's book, Eats Shoots & Leaves (Profile Books 2003), has a wonderful Dear Jack letter.

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy – will you let me be yours?
Jill

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men I yearn! For you I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,
Jill

Can Artificial Meat Save The World? | Popular Science

"Beyond Meat, a four-year-old company that manufactures a meat substitute made mainly from soy and pea proteins and amaranth...Where one pound of cooked boneless chicken requires 7.5 pounds of dry feed and 30 liters of water, the same amount of Beyond Meat requires only 1.1 pound of ingredients and two liters of water...What sets Beyond Meat apart is how startlingly meat-like its product is. The "chicken" strips have the distinct fibrous structure of poultry, and they deliver a similar nutritional profile...but with zero cholesterol or saturated and trans fat"



"For example, a single pound of cooked beef, a family meal's worth of hamburgers, requires 298 square feet of land, 27 pounds of feed, and 211 gallons of water. "
"New York Times food correspondent and best-selling cookbook author Mark Bittman tried Beyond Meat in a blind taste test last year...and said that it "fooled me badly." "
