Gary Yourofsky lectures about animal cruelty, animal rights, human rights, veganism and carnivorism.

There was an interesting topic that came up at the annual North American Vegetarian Society’s conference last week. It was something that I as a woman, I am concerned with, but tend not to think about. ….. it was the topic of Erectile Dysfunction…. I never realized how common a problem it is, even among men as young as their 20’s.

Just thought I'd find a place to archive it-- and maybe the discussion can/will continue here. I have a feeling that at this point, my blog is still... how would you say it... "beneath the woodwork" ?? :D

there is still a big C I wear as a scar on my head. my skin and bone flap cut open to remove the brain matter that fed...my tumor. leading to chemo and recovery and trying to rewire my brain to my body. my left and right sides not feeling as one. i still bump into walls with my shoulder feeling stitched together some. my left leg goes numb when i work it too hard, which can be a chore.

1. Try to cook/prepare/order meals that contain the 6 essential flavors: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent. The physiological (rather than psychology) urge to over-eat comes from a lack of satiation. The brain sends signals of satiation when the tongue comes into contact with all of those tastes (which represent the array of a balanced nutritional profile).

My next big transformation commitment will be for 40 days.

The prolife argument is a hyprocritical argument. How is it that you can call yourself prolife yet you support the mass slaughter of animals. The way animals that people eat are treated in mass production is equivelant to the holocaust if you ask me, the only difference is that people have the ability to speak up.

Vegetarianism and Climate Change

The report from Worldwatch Institute shows that livestock raising is responsible for at least 51 percent of global warming.*
A Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency report showed that global shift to vegan diet could cut climate change mitigation costs by 80% *

1) Eliminate foods from my diet that have been brutally and horrifically tortured in factory farms before reaching my mouth, including at restaurants. This includes dairy, eggs, and meat, and all of their pseudonyms.
