\"\"<\/a>The kitchen is a good place to start when it comes to green living. We already know that eating organic is better for both your body and the earth<\/a>. But there are a few things I’ve heard about recently that may cause a bit more trepidation when it comes to the stomach.<\/div>\n
1. Eat Squirrel<\/strong><\/div>\n
According to The New York Times, <\/a>the Brits are going nuts (hee hee) about eating squirrel. Turns out this cute little critter is super low in fat (depending on its diet) and potentially really scrumptious, as long as you shoot it in the head and get an expert to skin it.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Eat a Camel<\/strong><\/div>\n
On the same lines, if you live in Australia, you should start digging into the tasty camel burger<\/a>. Seems these spitting four-legged beasts are tearing up the Australian Desert. Start eating them, and save the ecosystem. Plus, they don’t have squirrels there, so it’s your only option.<\/div>\n
3. Poach Your Salmon in the Dishwasher <\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Talk about multitasking. Run the dishwasher and voila , you’ve got an energy-efficient and delicious salmon meal<\/a> that doesn’t even require any extra dirty dishes. If you can get beyond the idea of dirty clumps of food getting in your meal, that is.<\/div>\n
4. Raise Some Urban Chickens in Your Backyard<\/strong><\/div>\n
Back to those Brits: Turns out more and more people are also raising their own chickens<\/a>. Want hormone-free eggs? Just raise it in your backyard. Sales of the “eglu,” a small plastic chicken coop manufactured by Omlet<\/a>, are booming. And makes sense to us. Organic eggs<\/a> are dirt cheap and you know exactly what that chicken is eating. Food for thought.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Start Foraging for Your Own Food<\/strong><\/div>\n
Did you know that you can find healthy and exotic organic food in city parks? Foraging for your own food<\/a> is becoming increasingly popular. This hobby can add some interesting diversity to your diet and slash your monthly food bill. Plus, it’s easier than you think, with a little education (be wary with mushrooms).<\/div>\n
