When you gain weight, where do you generally gain it at? (arms, tummy, butt, thighs, etc.)

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 06:56:56 -0400

Me personally? I’m not sure why this is important, but it always goes to my butt and thighs first, then arms, and tummy last. Everyone is different.

Yesterday’s juice was sweet, today’s was savory.

tomato
apple
radish
carrots
broccoli
dandelion greens
broccoli shoots
a lemon (not pictured).

If I hadn’t eaten all my pineapple I would gave added that, too, because that radish was sooo damn spicy..

What're some of your favorite hot sauces? (Besides the obvious Sriracha haha)

I’m a simple girl. Cholula and Sriracha are all I really need.

How tall are you, and how much do you currently (or generally) weigh? You look beautiful! (Sorry in advance if you've been asked this before)

I’m 5’3” and usually weight 128, but that is always fluctuating from water, muscle mass, etc. I try not to weigh myself too often.

Why do you feel entitled to eat something that rightfully belongs to another animal?

Why do you feel entitled to judge me behind the guise of anonymity?

I am happy to discuss these things in a civilized manner if you choose to ask me openly, but will not engage otherwise.

theveganabolitionist reblogged your quote: After repeated cycles of forced impregnations,…

If you agree that this is such an awful problem, why aren’t you a vegan?

Once upon a time I was. Currently I do what feels right to me and I don’t like ascribing to labels or other peoples’ expectations. I eat a high vegan diet, but I have 7 very spoiled, well-loved hens in my backyard, and I see no problem with eating their eggs. I also have no problem with honey and bee pollen from local apiaries. Or scallops I harvest locally every summer. Just a few examples..

I appreciate that you and other vegans strive to live such a compassionate life and I thank you for your input, but you do not know me or my habits, and they are not for you to judge.

"After repeated cycles of forced impregnations, painful births, relentless milkings, and crushing..."

“After repeated cycles of forced impregnations, painful births, relentless milkings, and crushing bereavements, their spirit gives, their bodies wither, their milk dries up. At the age when, in nature, a female cow would barely enter adulthood, the life of a dairy cow is over. When her milk ‘production’ declines, she and her other ‘spent’ herd mates are trucked off to slaughter. Some are pregnant. All are still lactating. As they are shoved towards death, they drip milk onto the killing floor… All dairy operations, including organic, exist solely by doing to millions of defenseless females the worst thing anyone can do to a mother. Dairy consumers support this practice with their purchases.”

- “Milk Comes from a Grieving Mother” by Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary

I am not a vegan, but facts like these are well worth everyone’s consideration. Click through for the entire article, which parallels feminism to veganism by exploring the ways in which the dairy industry thrives on the exploitation of the female reproductive system. Very interesting and disturbing when you take the time to consider it. As Albert Schweitzer so aptly recommends, “Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.”
