You heard me right.  Hoodia is nearing extinction.  Is it possible that they’ve found the perfect weight loss solution and it is now about to disappear?  Yes quite possibly.

Through the work of its members; the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BCGI) in the UK identified numerous plants at risk of extinction, including the plant responsible for the new weight loss drug, Hoodia.  Many plants on the list are used in the manufacturing of medicines and other various drugs. 

I suppose if we wanted to think green we might consider healthier ways to lose weight before we deplete the world’s natural resources.  Hoodia might have better uses that haven’t been discovered yet. 

Scientists are concerned that some of the resources heading for extinction could be the cure for many diseases.  But will those resources be available when needed?

So, my thought for the day is there is more than one way to eat green.
