A study came out and it said that up to a third of vegetarians eat meat when they are drunk.
The study was done in England. They asked close to 2000 volunteers who were vegetarians. The most popular meat of choice was bacon, followed by fried chicken and then sausage.
This can be compared to people who breakdown and smoke when they are drunk. I'd say that those who eat meat when drunk are vegetarians who are likely following the diet for health reasons, and a bit of ethical reasons. If the resolve was strong enough I don't think that getting drunk would be enough to make them to eat meat. If someone doesn't think it is ethical to eat meat, getting drunk won't change that.

New York Bans Powdered Alcohol
The newest fad is powdered alcohol. It has gotten alot of attentuion because it is targeted at college age kids and it has the potential to be fatal. The politicans and health advocates who object to it claim that the problem is that kids might injest too much and suffer alcohol poisoning.
The idea of powdered alcohol is nothing new, in fact its been around for decades. However, it has never been marketed to the public this way. There is a fear that the people who make the mixture won't follow the directions properly and will make the concoction too strong.
Additionally, there is the fear that kids can sneak this around much easier than regular alcohol. It is a small packet that can fit in a pocket and be added to bottled water at any time.
There are several states that have already banned these substances, including New York. Groups such as MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving).
Schumer, the congresman from New York, is calling for nation wide legislation against this form of powdered alcohol.

Kale May Help With Cancer Causing Elements
Everyone knows that Kale is good for you. However, you might not have heard about this odd benefit: preventing cadmium from wrecking so much damage.
Cadmium is a dangerous heavy metal that can cause cancer. There are studides that suggest that it is one of the most dangerous heavy metal that is in the food chain.
One benefit to kale is that a study found that when eating kale with foods that were high in cadmium it limits the dangerous side effects of the toxic mineral.
If you want to go the extra step, you should look into adding kale jucies to your diet. This is a perfect way to get the powerful nutrients into your body. Kale is not the most pleasant thing to eat, so juicing eliminates some of the problem.
You can also do something called a smoothie. A smoothie is different than a juice in that the pulp is still present. A juice is going to have little to no pulp.
You should be able to get more kale into a juice, because the fiber is not there. Some people like the idea of smoothies because they want the full benefit of the fiber. It also fills you up and stops you from being hungyr.
You need to look for the best juicer for leafy greens like kale. You don't want to use a regular juicer or try and use a blender. The correct juicer is going to work much better than some juicer that was designed for things like oranges and apples.
