Willie Brown Needs to Connect the Dots for a Saner Diet

In yesterday's SF Chronicle, Willie Brown failed to connect the dots between a vegan diet and the environment.

In response, I got this off to the SF Chronicle this morning (Monday, September 18, 2017)   around 8:05 am.

(The require a short bio:  Before retiring as an instructor at CCSF in 2014, I taught and trained teachers on five continents--Oceana, Asia, North America, Africa, and Europe.  I recently did a vegan plate-to-plate pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago and in Madrid, Paris, and NYC.)

I enjoy reading Willie Brown's column, but he needs to connect the dots.  In Willie's World September 17, he's gleeful about Bill Clinton's weight gain, suspecting that "he has ditched the vegan diet that he took up after his heart troubles and is now back to the cheeseburgers that made him great."  Then he extols Governor Jerry Brown as "the nation's leading voice on climate change" but ignores what Governor Brown said in 2015 about the impact of our diet on the environment :  "I think you should all be eating veggie burgers."
