Can we love animals and eat them too?

Can we love animals and eat them too?

Fundamentally, nearly every human on the planet is an animal lover. We enjoy the presence of a companion animal sharing our homes with us, and we can identify when they’re happy, sad, excited, hungry, tired, and scared. We’re aware of the happiness they bring us, and of the happiness we bring to them. It’s a mutual relationship.

Can you love animals and eat them too?Short answer, no. The two…

Over 3 weeks, no social media. FOMO?

Over 3 weeks, no social media. FOMO?

Today marks over 3 weeks that I have not used social media. I deleted my Facebook and Snapchat, and stopped using Instagram. I use WordPress as an online journal for myself, publishing the posts I feel resonate with me and my followers. So, how am I feeling? AMAZING. I never thought I would feel this way. Before I made this decision, I couldn’t imagine my life without social media. I’m often…

10 books, 1 month. Can I do it?

10 books, 1 month. That’s a lot of reading to do! I’m almost finished with my first semester of graduate school (yippee!), and I plan on immersing myself in different books while I take a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of graduate school. So, I’ve set myself up: reading 10 books over the whole month. What books do I want to read, did you ask? Here’s a list! Finding Ultra by Rich…

I'm back.

I’m back.

Wow, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. But, alas, I’ve returned (thank goodness). I’m excited to be back, and writing on a regular basis again. I had a long period of growth. I had to take time to find myself, and become more grounded. I went through a period of self-revelation, self-love, self-hate, criticism, confusion, excitement, sadness, happiness — you name it. Let me know what…

Why Are Vegans "Annoying"?

Why Are Vegans “Annoying”?

We are not annoying — in fact, we are passionate.  Passionate about the animals, the planet, and the people.  We are the voice for the animals who are deliberately silenced. I’d like to touch on an aspect of veganism, and touch on the omnivorous perspective.  To the omnivores reading this,  know that I understand your position.  I was in that position for my whole life.  I understand there are…

Why Choose Veganism?

Hi everyone. I have been putting off writing a post like this for quite sometime, because it is something that is difficult to put into words.  I will be talking about the treatment of animals and workers we pay to kill them for food.  This is meant to raise awareness, and everything I say is backed up with facts from undercover footage and documentaries. My journey to veganism began when I saw…

Over 56 billion beings are slaughtered and tortured every year for human consumption. There is no such concept such as "humane" slaughter, cage-free farming, organic, or "grass-fed" product. Marine animals, chickens, pigs, cows, goats, sheep, and turkeys know only a life full of suffering, despair, and terror. Educate yourself on the myths and realities. There is nothing extreme about veganism. The lifestyle is full of compassion. Eating the flesh and secretions of other animals is extreme. Make choices every day that reflect your values and compassion. #veganism #vegan #compassion #vegansofig #lifestyle #healthy

UPDATE: It’s Been A While!

UPDATE: Hi, everyone! It’s been too long since I’ve posted — I apologize!  I’ve been super busy with school and work. I’d like to take a moment to say thank you for reading this, it means so much. :) So, since my last post, I have made the transition from vegetarianism to veganism.  I’d like to share my experience thus far.  At first, I felt exhausted ALL THE TIME.  I was not sure what was going…

The College Struggle: Budgeting and Knowing When to Have Fun

This is where young adults want to curl in the fetal position and throw a tantrum like a child.  We often find ourselves overwhelmed about the “pretty penny” that is a college education.  Your before-school checklist usually goes like this: apply for FAFSA, meet to Financial Aid and advisors, order books and supplies, pay tuition, sign up for classes, prepare and shop for move-in day (if you are…
