A new year is a good excuse for us to turn the calendar page on our bad habits and create change in our lives. Maryn McKenna offers some new year's resolutions that look beyond our personal fitness goals and can create change for the planet. McKenna's resolutions target improved health, for us and the planet, by exercising our economic power, as consumers: 1) Fight antibiotic resistance by buying "happy meat," from cows that live in farms that don't require a regular dose of meds just to stay alive. 2) Eat "Trash Fish": Sardines, herring, hake and mackerel all live further down the food chain than the more popular sea bass, tuna, salmon and grouper. They're not endangered, they're tasty, plus they're inexpensive. 3) Buy local dairy. McKenna acknolwedges that this one takes a bit of research, but it's possible to avoid "Big Milk".
