Books/Just Curious
Has anyone read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, or Sunfood Living by John McCabe? I just thought I would ask because I am interested in what people thought/think about one or all of these books. Also curious if people went vegetarian/vegan out of concern for animals or if you read the above books or if it was something else?

i haven't read those books amazingly but i did see the movie Fast Food Nation (too busy to read~ gotta see the movie! laugh.. better go pick 'em up (hopefully!) at the library ;] (the Pikes Peak Library District actually does have a pretty great raw food book selection, we may just have 'em! )...
i 'went veg' when i was 13ish~ at school we had 'environmental day' and at one point in the day watched a video on how veal is 'made' ... ick the living conditions for those poor animals is just so completely disgusting, inhumane and horrifying that at that very moment i quit eating animal flesh.... um... cold turkey.
how about you, Rebecca? :)

Hi Elise,
I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...

Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Ha-Ha-Ha! Yah, womyn!! Glad ya said somethin
Ohh nice! Yea, they're addicting as hell. If it wasn't for the price I would look like the Berlin Wall by now.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
