Men du och jag behöver någon som stöttar vårat segel genom stormen
I just finished watching "Earthlings." I knew conditions were very bad, but fuck, that is just... wrong. I am deeply ashamed of and for my species. Some (or most) of it... Scratch that, ALL of it was just sick, nauseatingly, cruelly, disgustingly, sick.
It completely reaffirmed my decision to give up meat. Perhaps someday I will make the next step to veganism, but in the mean time, the eggs I get I could if I so desired meet the chickens, and they live outside in fairly good conditions. Milk not quite so much, but actually yesterday we got some from a farmer acquaintance that is free-range, grass-fed, and cruelty free, beyond the intrinsic cruelty of keeping non-humans captive for out convenience.
I have been intending to watch food, inc for a while. Thank you for reminding me. I'm not sure if I can watch it right away. Humans are really fucking sick, aren't we?
PS: Please excuse my profanity. It really got to me. :*[
Åh, tack, vad fin du är. (Och katten likaså.)
Slog mig plöstligt att du för en tid sen frågade om var jag bodde innan Stockholm osv, glömde visst att svara. Jag har bott i London sen 2009 och flyttade tillbaka till Sverige i mars, kommer nog stanna här till september innan jag drar tillbaka till Ldn igen, det är liksom mer hemma för mig än någon annanstans. Var där över födelsedagen aka förra veckan och allstå guuuud, min hemlängtan nu, inte nådig!
Sv: Jag hittade bilderna på tjejens tumblr/blogg, men jag sparade inte hennes adress vilket jag bittert ångrar haha
tack så hemskt mycket för ditt paket<3
I finally watched Food, inc. It was very good, but I already knew or knew of most of what they talked about. However, I'm a big Michael Pollan fan, so it was great to see him, and also to see Polyface farm and Joel Salatin. Did you read Omnivore's Dilemma? Mostly the same sort of stuff, but it's very well written.
The clip was, indeed, rather unhelpful. All rather common sense, IMO. I've got 2.5 so I'm partway there. Oh wait, 3.5, it's been a loong time since I went to a zoo.
Where did you get your figure that half the world are vegetarians? I was under the impression it was under 10%.
How horrible! Is Sweden like France, and nobody believes in neutering their pets?
