crazy ramble
saw the girls i used to live with tonight...that was pretty awesome...cathy thinks that she knows the sickness that is making me fat... i sort of think it may be the same thing...coz the symptoms seem to fit... but i reckon i will see a doc first though...
sleeping tablets dont do much for me i have discovered... which is a pain in the ass coz i am having so much trouble sleeping lately... but then again i think that i am a bit i dunno stressed...given that i quite often feel quite anxious, which has lead to me feeling physically ill and even to the point i really nearly threw up the other day.... there is no real reasoning for it i guess thats just my brain being retarded...
also i was at the supermarket the other day gathering ingredients to make my dinner of baked potatoes with tomato salsa (like the proper mexian salsa kind....thanks to seumas having worked in blue corn in st.kilda *Mexican restaurant*) and i saw all this not meat shit... and i really started thinking about my vegitarianism and just vegitarianism in general... like when i first decided to become vegitarian like 6 or so years ago besides my sister and one kid at school i basically knew no vegitarians at all... and plus there was like bare minimum vege shit avaliable to me...being all 13 or whatever and not doing my own shopping...
I had and still do posess some very strong views on why i choose not to eat meat...and even though people are like "oh but it tastes good" and "they (the animals) are treated well before they are killed" and the golden oldie "WE ARE MEANT TO EAT IT'' i dont think that the death of an animal is worth something "tasting good" which in any case i dont like the taste. Also they are not treated well before they are slaughtered or even whilst they are slaughtered....witnessing an example of the completely disgustingly poor transportation of animals to anabotior was one of the reasons for my choice! and again NO we are not MEANT to eat meat... notice how lions have all those sharp teeth, they also have extreemly short intestines...all this aids in thier eating of meat.... us humans on the other had although whilst posessing our canines we have teeth that are primarily meant for the eating of plants grains etc... also we have like over 40 feet of intestines... this factor alone is a reason against meat, when meat rots in the intestine that causes food poisoning...coz it takes SOOOOO long to get through our long intestines, unlike the short intestines in lions....and might i add that eating meat can help increase your chances of diseases such as bowel cancer and high cholesterol... So even if that sam neill guy says "meat. we are meant to eat it" i think he is a little incorrect...
And to my next point on the fake meat... i mean i got to asian vegetarian right occasionally....but i dont understand the fact of being a vegetarian and then eating fake meat all the time... being vegetarian gives you an oppurtunity to actually try new things that have nothing to do with meat considering that you actually have a reason for bring vegetarian in the first place, but like there are so many fantastic things that people can eat being vegetarian and really if fake meat is as far as people go then they are missing the point of it a bit...
And to the next point... when i first decided to become a vegitarian i neverrealized how involved it was: checking every label and having soooooo much trouble at restaurants right down to needing to know every cooking oil and sauce used and to what extent animal products are used in our food... like some chocolates and most jelly lollies...plus knowing sooooooooo many digits on food additives also!
and another thing like in the last year or somethin i have gone from knowing like a half dozen vegies to a vast proportion of people that i know... and including kids i went to school with...and this isnt me just being a bitch or being a snob and all but it kinda rings to me to be just as trendy as buying polka dot tops and skinny jeans....
Im not saying its a bad ting or whatever but i think that if something is more trend that a genuine passion things lapse.... trends die out but belifes shouldnt... but all this straight edge/emo/ i dunno what the hell it is but still i just reckon that there are a lot more of them now than there were like a year or two ago....
but i really hope that its just people actually becoming more aware of the world around them and not the world of them
