Happy Thanksgiving

Elizabeth Kucinich is Hot

Elizabeth Kucinich is hot and her message is important. Her being attractive has nothing to do with my posting I just thought I would point that out. She is the Director of Public Affairs for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). She is the wife of Senator Dennis Kucinich. They are both vegans who do a tremendous amount of work for animals.


PCRM is trying to get a bill passed to improve school lunches. People develop poor eating habits at a young age. Child obesity is common. Children should have healthy options. Do we really want to put unhealthy chemical based foods into our children?

The link on the bottom of this posting will take you to a page to send an email to Congress to support the bill. Please do your part to help children eat healthy.

A message from Elizabeth Kucinich

"Congress is on the verge of voting for a new Child Nutrition Act, and we’ve received word that an excellent House version of the bill, which would allow more children to have access to healthful plant-based options, may be rejected for a much weaker, stripped-down Senate version.


This Senate version will make it harder for children to choose healthy food options in the cafeteria.

Our chance to improve school lunches across the nation lies in the hands of Congress today! Please urge key leaders in the House to pass the superior House bill, H.R. 5504, and reject the Senate’s bill, S. 3307.

Send a letter to Congress before it’s too late!"

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Kucinich

Director of Public and Government Affairs

A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way

GEICO Employees Improve Health Dramatically with Low-Fat Vegetarian Diet

NEW VEGAN COOKBOOK WRITTEN BY DR.

Check out the new cookbook by Neal Barnard, M.D., and Robyn Webb, M.S. It’s called “Get Healthy, Go Vegan”.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, eat healthier, eat cruelty-free, or hop on a bandwagon, a vegan diet is the way to go.

I lost 10lbs when I went vegetarian and 10 more when I changed to a vegan diet. I eat more food now than I ever have and maintain a healthy weight. It’s an easy transformation if you have the right tools. You just have to learn to shop, cook, read, and prepare different than you have been. It’s good for the environment, good for you, and good for the animals. They say a vegan can save up to 100 animals a year!

Check out this book to get you started.

Tribe Of Heart

The Tribe of Heart is an amazing organization. They stand for “peaceful social change”. The message is important. The message is artistic and put together beautifully.

Tribe of Heart has some amazing award winning films. They connect people, animals, and all living things.

They are traveling the country right now screening their newest film Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home. Look for it in your area. (It will be showing at the Sausalito Film Festival in California August 14th)

They also released a great documentary called The Witness. It’s about Eddie Lama who feared and avoided animals until a kitten changed his life. He started an animal rescue and works to spread his message of compassion in New York.

Here is a link to watch The Witness for FREE online. It’s only 40 minutes and it’s amazing. He is a great person with a great story.

Love. Live. Pass It On.

We don’t know which religion is correct. We don’t know where we came from. We don’t know what is outside our solar system. We don’t know if we have a purpose. We don’t know which day will be our last. We don’t know what happens when we die.

All we know is that we are alive and it is amazing. Respect EVERYTHING that is alive. Recognize and appreciate the beauty that is life. We are all miracles. There is never a reason to kill ANYTHING (that isn’t trying to kill you-sorry Gandhi-I love you but if a bear or a bad guy is about to attack me I’m probably going to try and kill him.)

It is a simple message and a simple way to live. Just respect other living things. Apply the golden rule to everything. Love. Live. Pass it on.

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson is always doing great things to create awareness about animal suffering. She is always doing her part to promote going vegetarian. I salute her.

GO VEGAN

Going vegan saves about 100 animals a year.

Do I need to say anymore?

It reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cataracts to name a few.

It is good for the environment.

You will lose weight.

Food For Thought

Oh man this is awesome.

One of the guys from the Southeastern Michigan Animal Rights Team (S.M.A.R.T.) that I volunteer with was taking donations to put up a billboard to promote going vegetarian. The billboard poses the question “Why love one but eat the other?” with a picture of a dog next to a pig. He has done this before and it’s a great cause wherever the billboard ends up but this placement could not have been better. It’s right on top of a Tubby’s and next to a Wendy’s!! Hahaha!!

This is in Ferndale.

Here is a link to S.M.A.R.T. It’s a great site and a great group of people. You can do as little or as much as you want. www.gosmart.org/
