Attempt at Social Responsibility
I’m about to have a PETA moment and I apologize to those that think advocating for something you believe in is self righteous.
For anyone who’s too lazy to read the Omnivore’s Dilemma or Fast Food Nation, you need to watch Food, Inc. stat. It’s disturbing that the government and the food industry can get away with abusing workers and animals in factory farms, compromise the safety of the food we eat, and be the primary source for the obesity epidemic.
We can help change this. Stop being fat and lazy. Go to http://www.foodincmovie.com/spread-the-word.php to help make a difference.

PETA kills 90~98% of the animals they “rescue”, often in the back of the truck, as soon as the owners can’t see their pets anymore.
PETA claims to be opposed to all animal testings and use of animals in medicine, but it’s VP’s on insulin every day.
THIS organization isn’t “animal loving”, it is people hating, and whatever it says should hold no more values than what the Nazis believed.
Wow – Delphine sounds a little crazy herself….maybe if they had finished reading your post before freaking at the mention of PETA.
Food, Inc and saying no to factory farming isn’t about becoming vegetarian or stopping animal testing, it’s about changing the way our meat is feed, cared for and processed. Factory farms are only about producing quantity not quality and it is disturbing. They feed herbivores the meat of their own kind (yes, even still after mad cow there is a % the USDA allows) & sometimes the feces of other animals, that’s just DISGUSTING. Keep in mind the reason all of our meat is pumped full of horomones and antibiotics is because we are not feeding them their natural diet, it’s ridiculous…
I just wish more people realized how their chicken nugget was made and how sick this low quality food is making our country.
I’m with you Emaciated Lady, but who knows how sick the world will have to become before they catch on that the health of our food is indeed our own. Maybe when 80% of the population is obese they’ll figure it out?
sorry about the errors, guess when I get all worked up and pissed off at people and their ignorance I can’t type what I’m thinking.
well…you can always have spotlight on the food industry, but nothing changes until there’s a food-borne epidemic. Sinclair’s “The Jungly” is a classic, caused an uproar but look where it’s gotten us ultimately: back to the same square we started at. it’s annoying. go organic, go free range, go natural…these animals may become food, but they also deserve kindness and respect.
Sad yes, but unfortunately free range, cage free, organic and etc is becoming simply unrealistic.. most land is now taken up in return for plant food and other such nonsense- check out the documentary King Corn, that plus agriculture has actually allowed our population to expand to the size it is at now, and will continue to allow for that expansion if we don’t take action and reduce population- rather than figure out how to feed it and allow for a gradual increase- the vegetarian propaganda, is just that… no offense, we evolved on meat- too much scientific research to back that.. I’ll stick to low carb… still love, love, love your blog though..
Even if we did evolve eating meat, we did NOT evolve eating mass produced, ill-treated, diseased animals. And there is nothing stopping us from continuing to evolve or from having some compassion. Animals are sentient beings – beings that experience pleasure and pain (fact, not propaganda), and as such, they deserve and have a right not to suffer cruelly and needlessly at the hands of humans. We’re sorry you feel otherwise, but we’re still glad to have you as a reader
Some people think my vegetarianism is an extention of my eating disorder. Uh, no. It’s just because I have some fucking morals.
