And I really like Bittman. To try to expand my cooking repertoire, I started blogging about his recipes from How to cook everything Vegetarian cookbook. But I'm not planning to give up meat :) I love meat. And I really like Bittman.

I agree Phyllis - I also thought it was a little funny that Bittman says he tries to stay away from meat for breakfast and lunch, but "all bets are off" for dinner. That still means he's eating meat every day. Is that really cutting back? Eating dairy for me never feels like too much Rachel B. - then again, I'm a vegetarian! Regardless, I thought the amount and variety of meat on the table was excessive and seemed out of place for the holiday. You’re right Jeff – impeccable timing!

Most families that keep the holiday eat one dairy meal, or some dairy treats mid-morning before their full holiday seudah.

AND bittman's article was accompanied by a recipe for a salad with BEEF on it, and a chicken recipe. i know it was eat LESS meat but really -- couldn't all the recipes have been just plain vegetarian!? i thought bittman’s article was pretty funny since there was another article on the same page that made a nice vegetarian staple – felafel – into a meat meal by adding *gulp* lamb!

As it has been reported over the past few weeks, due to the postiville problems there will be a shortage of kosher meat and thus a major price increase (see http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/991819.html). Perhaps Jews will be forced to limit their meat intake? Then again, many could just switch to Treyf. I'm interested to see how this will play out. What great timing for such an article.
