Outraged!

Okay, this may not have anything to do with eating specifically, but I do believe it falls under "living consciously" and is a relevant topic.

Q.) Isn't it politically incorrect to wear fur?
A.) Actually it's the opposite, wearing FUR IS GREEN!

Fur is a truly sustainable and renewable natural resource. Furriers, whether trappers or farmers, have the highest level of respect for both their animals and the land. To harm either, would be to harm themselves.

Also consider… a recent study of consequences from various textiles on the environment was undertaken at Oregon State University . The study included methods to obtain, process, fabricate, maintain and dispose of a broad range of textiles including wool, leather, fur, cotton, silk, linen, rayon, polyester, nylon and acrylic (fake fur is made from nylons and acrylics) were evaluated across a number of environmental variables. In composite scoring across all environmental criteria, the farmed and wild fur outperformed ALL other textiles for Environmental Compatibility.

ARE THESE FOOLS SERIOUS??? PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SHIT, CAN THEY?!

Let's take a lesson from Martha and find out the TRUTH about fur:

    Yikes. First of all, that is a load of crock saying that fur people have the highest respect for the land and animals. Are they serious? I wonder if people reading that actually truly believe that or it's just something to justify themselves with but in the back of their minds they realize it's total BS.

    Secondly, they make no reference to their studies about how environmentally friendly it is or isn't. I imagine that if such a study exists, the real data shows the opposite of what they're saying if you really look at it closely and scrutinize the data.

    A fur company saying that fur is not cruel and is good for the environment, what a surprise...

    I'd like to say, "Unbelievable!" but know better. Shameful, for sure. The Martha bit is an effective one too bad the only people that will watch it will be those that already agree with it.

Raw Food Homophobes

While a raw food diet truly makes no sense for an ethical vegan , there’s another unethical consideration that should be taken into account. There’s a lot of evidence that many males in the raw foods movement are flat out homophobic. Not only homophobic, but also ignorant and disgusting bigots. Take the Raw Brahs for example, who recently made an extremely homophobic video featuring the self-proclaimed “ Life Regenerator .” The video features them taking a shower together and making homophobic statements and gestures to each other. The Raw Brahs are, to their own admission, “ solar powered Christian raw food radically honest nomadic elitist minimalist brothers .” In a book entitled, The Raw Controversies , page 118 cites that, “According to David [Wolfe] , Durian was a gay guy that went raw, and then 'left the dark side' and decided to go for women. David and Stephen [Arlin] were convinced that homosexuality could be 'cured' by the raw food diet. More speci...

Krony 2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s probable that you are at least remotely aware of the video that’s been sweeping the nation, Kony 2012 .  Produced and released by the nonprofit, Invisible Children (IC), the film is clearly compelling and has an almost hypnotic vibe to it.  The video does an excellent job at persuading the unthinking youth of the US with vivid images, emotional storytelling, techno music, and colorful Kony 2012 kits that come complete with signs and bracelets.  For only a few bucks a month, you can feel like you’re making even more of a difference for this tremendous cause, which over 77 million people have tuned into at most recent count. So, who exactly is Kony?  What’s the deal with Invisible Children and is there something we aren’t being told about this cause?  Since the videos release, the have been numerous, credible criticisms of the film.  So many, that the CEO of Invisible Children even released a video to dispute ...

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

I figured it's been a while since I've posted a recipe, so I decided to share one with you that I just created for the autumn season.  I also have some more recipes to post soon, like Boston Cream Pie, White Bean and Rice Soup, and Butternut Squash Stuffing.  Stay tuned (and subscribe !) for those recipes, among other things.  Also, there will be a new Eating Consciously Podcast episode in the very near future (featuring an interview with TimmyFan !), as well as a piece about communicating with non-vegans over at veganexaminer.com . If you try the Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, leave a comment about how it came out! 1 lb macaroni (I used whole wheat) 1 block extra-firm tofu 2 cloves garlic 1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground 1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground (or 1/4 tsp if freshly grated) 1 tsp salt (or more to taste) 1/4 cup Earth Balance (or olive oil) 1, 15 oz can cooked pumpkin  1 cup nutritional yeast Cook the macaroni according to the instructions on the...
