You’re Vegan? And Healthy?

I’ve recently had quite a constructive, speaking from my point of view at least, back and forth, concerning veganism, with an old friend. And yesterday the subject of health and the merits of how I eat came up.

All Starting with said friend forwarding me a link to a blog post — that I found fairly problematic and somewhat short sighted — of an ex-vegan intent on bashing veganism for its supposed poor health consequences. With absolutely no valid arguments toward the reasons for his alleged feeling bad, other than a few horrible pictures of himself. I digress.

This was largely my response to his forward — to which I’ve added since sending…

Just Read It!

As I briefly “eluded” to in my previous post, it’s September. And with yet another month — of which I’m all too certain will be packed to the brim with the exact, or damn near similar, injustices of the former 31 days — upon us we get a brand new Anti-Empire Report! I urge, no, I beg everyone to read it.

As always, it’s a phenomenal read, and worthy of every single bit of your attention…

A Glimmer Of Hope

Yesterday I found an interesting premise over at The Guardian, but I didn’t necessarily think much of the article itself. “Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change” said that “people should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change.” And he went on, thankfully, and said “that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.” 

I can’t argue with that. IF by eating less meat, he meant, it’s a first step towards reducing ALL meat consumption. The article, of course, was somewhat vague on that point. 

I wonder if the “Vegetarian” Doctor’s diet includes any “milk, butter and cheese?” What are the odds?
