Nader: Oil the Source of Two of Earth�s Major Problems:
Wars for Oil and Climate Change

Protect the Environment and the People of Our Planet by Ending Our Addiction to Oil

Washington, DC: On Earth Day 2004, Independent presidential candidate
Ralph Nader highlighted as two priorities: ending the Iraqi occupation
and facing up to the immediate crisis of global climate change. "Future
geopolitical crises involving oil resources and environmental problems
will be diminished by finding alternatives to fossil fuels," said Nader.

Nader linked the two issues on Earth Day because he sees them as
symptomatic of the corporate oil-based, planet destructive behavior of
the Bush Administration. Nader has called for the United States to
withdraw from Iraq - including military, private military contractors,
oil industry and other corporations. Nader noted: "The war in Iraq is
unleashing widening cycles of violence. The potential for escalation of
violence increases every day the US military remains in Iraq. The way to
reverse the spiral of violence is for the United States to go back home.
The US presence serves as a magnet for the insurrection, kidnapping,
terrorism and destruction." Nader released a three-step strategy for
withdrawal earlier this week. See www.votenader.org for details.

Umbilical Cordon Bleu

Nothing is so beautiful as the bond between mother and child, 
so why not consume it? 
Children or chicken breasts will work wonderfully also.

4 whole umbilical chords (or baby breasts, or chicken breasts)
4 thin slices of smoked ham, and Gruyere cheese
Flour
eggwash (milk and eggs)
seasoned bread crumbs
1 onion
minced
salt
pepper
butter
olive oil

Pound the breasts flat (parboil first if using umbilical 
   cords so they won?t be tough). 
Place a slice of ham and cheese on each, along with some minced onion 
   then fold in half, trimming neatly. 
Dredge in flour, eggwash, then seasoned breadcrumbs; 
   allow to sit for a few minutes. 
Saut� in butter and olive oil until golden brown, 
   about 6 minutes on each side.



Shish Kababes

As old as the hills, this technique has employed seafood, beef, pork, lamb, 
poultry, and vegetables; just about anything can be grilled, and young humans 
are no exception!

High quality marinade (Teriyaki and garlic perhaps)
1 inch cubes of tender meat, preferably from the nursery
Onions
bell peppers
Wooden or metal skewers

Marinate the meat overnight. 
Get the grill good and hot while placing meat, vegetables, and 
   fruit such as pineapples or cherries on the skewers. 
Don?t be afraid to use a variety of meats. 
Grill to medium rare, 
   serve with garlic cous-cous and saut�ed asparagus. 
Coffee and sherbet for desert then walnuts, cheese, and port.
