i'm not crazy
i'm just a little unwell
-------------------------------
you know what i feel like doing?
i feel like becoming a vegan.
(please laugh?) LOL
well, not exactly.
first off, i'm too lazy.
second, all the "oh-my-god-, uhhhh- and ahhhhhh-inducing" foods of the world; i just cannot imagine a life without them. (yep, those were moans and groans of pure ecstasy)
lastly, i'm lazy. (whoops, did i repeat that already?)
this sudden (and temporary) impulse to convert to veganism overcame me when i was reading this book, "skinny bastard" by rory freedman and kim barnouin - which i finished in two hours in the bookstore itself; saved me rm65 doing that. anyway, the UGLY truth regarding the food and agricultural industry made me sick to the stomach. ignorance really was bliss, because now i can never look at meat and dairy products the same way ever again. the ethical issues of consuming meat and animal products, the mistreatment of animals... was tragically enlightening.
i was especially disgusted by how animals were treated prior to being slaughtered. i was literally gagging when i read the book. of course, those facts were based on what was going on in the USA. i have seriously no clue as to what the practices are like over here.
so yea, lots and lots of respect to all the vegetarians and vegans out there. it's tough being one, in my opinion. by the way, for those who think vegetarianism and veganism are for sissies and hippies, go fuck yourself.
veganism might not be an option now, but i'm not ruling it out in the future.
for now, i think i might just consume less meat and drink soya milk instead of cow's milk.

once again, i'm not crazy.

i understand. once i found out shellfish were cooked alive, i swore off them...for two days until i found out that they don't have a nervous system advanced enough to know.
and besides, i love food too much :) just join the war with me in proper slaughter? top

sure! will it involve vegetables (organic, of course) being thrown at factory farms and slaughterhouses?
:p
haha. honestly, i think winning the war will be extremely difficult though. top
