GO VEGAN!

vegan

I think the last piece of chicken I ate

Was around early April, after feeling dizzy

A minor health scare and watching a bunch of health related movies

On Netflix on juicing and healthy eating

I came across Vegucated, and that made it

Since early April I am vegetarian

I would like to say that I am a 100% vegan

Meaning NO animal products

Yet, I had some yogurt at home and some parmesan cheese

I had to “finish”, and a couple of times I have come across

Food that has cheese crumbs (a spinach salad from Bread and Cie)

With nuts and some goat cheese; and I had some pizza at work,

The vegetarian kind, but had cheese, so I would say

I am 80% vegan these days?

Looking forward to be 100% vegan…

Some friends have asked me for how long I would eat a vegan diet

I am planning to do it for the rest of my life!

Health is one issue, YET never filling sick has stopped me

From eating another piece of chocolate or a cake

No señor!! But with veganism the force that is driving me

Is much stronger, I am not doing only for health reasons

I am doing it ‘because I know what it takes to get meat,

Beef, pork, and chicken to your table,

I know all the suffering, the killing, the slaughtering

The pain, and the insanity that is killing an animal

Just to get it on your plate…

The very first days I quit eating chicken (which by the way

Are the most abused animals ever!!!) Whenever I craved

A piece of chicken I only had to remember what I read on

This interview with a person who worked at Tyson chicken

All the pain, suffering and anger inflicted not only to the chickens

But to the humans working on the slaughter houses!

Anyway I started writing this doc days ago and then

I got side tracked but the bottom line is:

The healthy side of the vegan diet

has been just a wonderful "side effect";

my real motivation is to NOT contribute to

the torture of animals who are killed in

the industrialized farming factory system

which is out of control and lacks compassion mainly in the US!

More on this issue soon

If you care about animals, please help stopping the slaughtering

I found this old post from 2010
read all the quotes after the picture!

It’s been long since I’ve been considering becoming vegetarian

Or vegan, but I thought it was a “hard” thing to do,

Now, I’ve been vegan for a couple of months

And it’s the BEST decision I’ve made in a long time!

the Summer cats

los gatos de verano

it's not the Summer just yet
but Herr Gato and Frau Kitty are ready for it!
Frau Kitty got her new Summer 2013 cardboard house
and she already doesn't want to get out of there
Herr Gato soothes himself from the fact of
not being able to fit in any house, by sunbathing
on a cardboard box on top of the lounging chair
(I know the sun is not bathing yet, but soon, it will...)

San Diego is sunnier than ever but not too hot yet
wonderful weather and enjoying the company
of these lovely felines!

"I am not leaving this sunny home ever!" ~Frau Kitty

"I wish I could fit in one of those houses..." ~Herr Gato
