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

Since I have been slacking on the frequency of my posts, as I am extremely busy and will continue to be for the next two weeks, I figured this would be a great time to make it up to all of you and give something away. In fact, I will give TWO things away!! Yes, I have in my hands two copies of PETA's Vegan College Cookbook and I must tell you that it's quite amazing. No, I'm not just saying that because I got a free copy ;) As most of you know, I'm pretty anti-cookbook because I feel most recipes are way too complicated and expensive, but this cookbook certainly debunks that theory. In fact, most of the recipes have about 5 or less ingredients and every recipe looks super quick, super easy, and super cheap! So, enough with the endorsement and on with the giveaway! What do you have to do to win a copy? Simply post a comment. That's all. I have two copies to give away and I will pick two random winners. Here's a preview of the prize at hand: So, post yo

Guest Blogger: Melanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M.

Since I've been running short on time lately, I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to invite a guest blogger on board. You might remember I interviewed Melanie back in August on Eating Consciously Podcast #13 . I've read the book and I give it five stars all the way! If you haven't pre-ordered it yet, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Make sure you get a copy not only for yourself, but copies for the carnists in your life as well. Since this is a bit of a lengthy post, I won't take up too much more of your reading time, but I wanted to point out that you might be interested in watching this new two-minute video about the book: and now I'll let Melanie tell you a bit more about the book herself... Like most people, I grew up eating meat. I also grew up with a dog, who was my best friend throughout my childhood. And like most people, I didn’t think about how I could love my dog yet eat other animals daily without thinking about what I was doing or why.
