Vegan wool

This may be of interest only to the hard-core vegan... Scientists have discovered how to make a fiber from wheat gluten which may lead to wool from wheat. (Scroll down.)

If you're gluten-intolerant, though, you have another thing to worry about. I can see the warning labels on wool sweaters: "This sweater was manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat."

Any philosophy can be taken to extremes (and probably is, in Portland, OR).

Really? I would have thought San Francisco as the birthplace of flogging a dead cause.

The movement may be born in San Francisco, but then the more radical adherents must flee to a place where they won't be persecuted for their extreme beliefs. That place is Portland.
