Summer is over and school has started. Each year with the start of school there is a flurry of school related activities such, as band competitions and football games. These extracurricular activities always have a portion of their expenses for which they must generate funds.
A couple of years ago, I got to attend a grade school reunion. My former classmate who was organizing the event tracked me down via Facebook, and in the process of corresponding, I mentioned that I write about the meat processing industry. She responded by saying she had been a vegetarian for 14 years and a vegan for five years, and she thought my job was gross.
