I made this video a few years back but Youtube kept deleting it for 'animal abuse' reasons. ¬_¬
Anywho, fast forward to near the end if you don't want to see the graphic pictures. You have been warned.

Healthy Eating
Thanks to the scrumptious sounding food log that Ecotribalvegan posted in the What Did You Eat Vegan Today Thread, I've decided to cut down on the junk food I eat and go all out healthy. So far, so good:
Sunday:
Sweet potato curry; had celery, sweet potato, onion, garlic, mushrooms, green beans, carrots and coconut. Brown basmati rice.
Monday:
Houmous, lettuce, and wholegrain pitta bread.
Tuesday:
Vegetable Stir Fry: Cabbage, carrots, sweet potato, onions, garlic, pepper, mushrooms, mixed beans, celery, broccoli, green beans, mixed herbs.
Wednesday:
Stuffed Roasted Peppers: Carrots, green beans, onions, garlic, pepper, mushrooms, celery, mixed herbs, broccoli. Salad on the side: lettuce, cucumber, tomato drizzled with olive oil.
All delicious so far. And I do feel like I've got a tad more energy, at least. And I've been going on my exercise bike; Monday: 15 minutes. Tuesday: 30 minutes. Wednesday: 55 minutes.
I'll update this later in the week.

Religion...
Religion, religion, religion...gotta love it (or hate it, in my case). Religion breeds people like these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmIr9P-vkSQ&feature=player_embedded
There is absolutely no proof god exists. Yet the majority of the world persists to believe in such a fairy tale; failing to realise that god was a scapegoat for the unexplainable long ago.
When you pray, does somebody answer? No.
When you die do you go to heaven or hell? No.
Why is it that in some religions you have to go to a 'house of god' to pray...surely if god was all loving and what not he/she would not care where you prayed?
No god would allow humans to exist unless he/she was a complete and utter asshole.
No god would allow all those vile, disgusting humans to do unto animals as they see fit.
No god would allow women to be treated like dirt in his/her name.
No god would allow animal murder in his/her name.
No god would allow the subjugation of homosexuals in his/her name.
No god would allow the likes of Britney Spears a chance to sing... ahem.
And so on and so fourth.
Case in point. God don't exist, so quit believing in a fairy tale people! Stop wasting your time praying cus it does shit all! Get up, get busy, and start preaching something worthwhile like veganism.
Fin.

For a proper vegan board...
We don't allow meat eaters on our board, and only vegetarians that are going vegan are allowed (so we can help them transition). Misanthropy is allowed. Speaking your mind is allowed. You will not be censored or oppressed by the administration.
We also have a chatbox at the bottom.

Why I hate Anti Abortionists
The rights of a few cells should never over-ride the rights of a human. Otherwise we'd be unjustified in killing bacteria via medicinal applications. An unborn child cannot suffer to the extent that a fully functional female human can in a variety of circumstances. Also, said unborn child is essentially a part of the woman so she is justified to take what ever action she deems fit from the moment of conception, accidental or not.
That said, those who claim the child should be put up for adoption fail to notice how many children already need homes (just like the pet overpopulation problem). Putting a child up for adoption is only adding to that problem, not taking away from it.
The following things can occur due to pregnancy and child birth/raising a child:
- Death
- Illness
- Mental illness/depression
- Debt
- Break ups
- Violence within a relationship (some males don't like their g/fs getting pregnant and will resort to violence to get rid of it if she does not abort)
- Miscarriages
- Still births
- The child could become depressed due to awful life for whatever reason
and much much more. Why risk all this at the expense of a few cells? It's pure madness. And anti abortionists are never willing to pick up the pieces once the baby is born. All they care about is the rights of the unborn child. Once it's born they could care less.
That said, humans suck so the less in the world, the better ;)

Preaching to the choir...or there abouts...
Why do some vegans insist on preaching to other vegans about the tiniest details?
I'd understand if the vegan being preached to one was one of those pretend vegans who eat honey but claim to be vegan and all the other ones like that, but to preach to other vegans about things that don't automatically come with being vegan?
I.e. although I touched on this in my 2nd blog post, the telling of myself, by some other vegans, that I cannot take credit for converting people. £*$*%
I.e. #2. Vegans preaching to me to feed my companion cats and dog veg*n when they have no clue about my monetary situation or my social situation. For the record, I am on benefits, I'm not afraid to admit that. The reason for my benefits is because I have anxiety and depression disorder or something along those lines.
Any who, enough about the reason why I'm on it. The fact is I'm on it, and I get a set amount of money per fortnight. This gets spent mostly on my companion animals and food for when my fiance is with me. I also have a set donation sent to dogs trust per month as I sponsor two dogs. Then I give money to the sanctuary I volunteer at. It all mounts up people !
But anyways, the cost of caring for companion animals is quite high, especially when you have four cats who could shit for Britain ¬_¬. The amount of cat litter they get through is ridiculous. I've tried buying the 10kg bags...I'm lucky if they last me two weeks, if that. Then there's the obvious food which consists of dried and wet as they have dried ad lib and wet evening/morning, toys (*coughyesIspoilthemahem*), flea collars (which many have gone missing from their necks...I reckon they trade em for catnip or something with the local cat drug dealer...)and all the other fun stuff, like vet bills that comes in tow with companion animals. And then of course I have to pay for the dogs food and vet bills etc too. And this example has gone on quite long O_O.
To put it in short; I cannot afford to make my companion cats and dogs veg*n, nor do I have the knowledge to either. Plus, I personally have no qualms with feeding an animal it's naturally intended diet (carnivorous/omnivorous). Apparently it makes you less of a vegan for 'supporting the meat industry' via pet food even though the meat industry would do just fine without the pet industry. But sod it. I'm not here to please other vegans by being perfect, I'm here to do what I can for animals in my situation. So yeah...if someone tells you you're not being 'vegan' enough, just tell 'em you're doing the best you can, or if they still go on at you after that, just tell 'em to stick a piece of tofu in their pipe hole before you do it for them.
