Miami Vegan Blog

Ecorazzi.com has a link to a game called 'Spot The Vegan' ... it's a lot of fun ...

“Just what does a typical vegan look like? These days it’s hard to tell, the old stereotypes painted by the media of skinny, bearded, smelly left wing hippies are long gone. There was recently a two page feature in the Daily Mail detailing the diary of one of their journalists who went vegan for a month and cut his cholesterol levels by nearly 25%. With the realisation that a vegan diet and lifestyle can be a recipe that’s kinder to the environment, kinder to health and of course kinder to animals, people from all walks of life and all age groups are becoming vegan.”

Call Wendy's Today (August 27, 6:49 PM ET)
Paul Shapiro is back with me on today's show. We discuss HSUS's new campaign against Wendy's, new ads exploring our food choices and global warming, and a fantastic editorial in the San Jose Mercury by the CEO of Bon Appetit. Michael Vick formally agreed to his plea deal today. Here's the best write-up of his situation that I've seen so far. And Slate.com takes a look at a possible timeline for his getting out of prison. An article on the 1957 Civil Rights Act is required reading for today's animal activists. I rant for a bit on almond pasteurization -- which ought more correctly to be termed fumigation. Texas Monthly has a piece attacking a vegan shopping center owner who refuses to rent to tenants who sell animal products. Indiana's State Fair has prohibited transfats from its deep-fryers. McDonald's has gone upscale -- but only in Europe. If possible, I urge you to attend the Toronto Vegetarian Association Food Fair, happening Sept. 7-9, and the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival, happening Oct. 20. And finally, this video is off-topic and should not be watched under any circumstances. Don't forget to call Wendy's and ask them to follow Burger King's lead on cage-free eggs. Today's podcast is 54:00.

I'm recovering from a car accident - which is why I haven't been blogging. See you soon ...

Aloha, my dear friend

Sweetheart, if suddenly the Sun will stop shining, you will keep me warm! If suddenly the Starts will hide behind the Moon, you will still give me so much romance, which I never dreamt could be. If the Seas and Oceans will overflow, we will sail away together. If our Earth will dry out and there will be no single drop left, we will kill our thirst with our Love to each other. Dear, the Sun and Stars and the Oceans are smiling only to us. If we will be together:. No, WHEN we will be together, none of disasters will separate us. Because two of us will be the strongest power ever known. I want to fall in love with you and have a family. I want to love life and everything around, I want to hear words of love and I dream that I could make you and us happy.

[From a Ukranian woman looking for a husband]

Someone sent this to me with an attachment to buy software at a discount. The poem they included is so worth posting. Don't know what it means but it sure is interesting ...

Down the long course of the gray slush of things
Rain. We are forced to fly,
Stunned in their voiceless way to be alive
The face of a Quos ego),
Clear-voiced despite its years, strong, eloquent—
Coextensive with everything? How could they know?
Of too much truth to do much more than lie
And melt the spirit; his mouth will distend
End of the comedy.
—The place the road ends, that patch of white paint
At the white place of the road's vanishing
In Florida, it's strawberry season—
Mère and Père Chose are walking away from the
Of a far barn, just where the road curves sharply
That square—Oh, 56 x 56
For any part of them we can make out
Merely a mockery of spring
With sun's warmth wasted on a stone,
XIII. The Route to the North

This is the kind of thing that drives an environmentalist INSANE. Sure, the baby is cute and all but what are they thinking. They even want to have more! Now, tell me what they are doing to replenish the resources they are hoarding for the equivalent of 8 2-children families! People with common sense are out there unable to conceive, can't adopt for some dumb reason or can't get married. Nature doesn't make sense sometimes. Not sure why this bothers me so much but it does!!!! All the children's names start with "J", these people's DNA is not very desirable. The kids are sharing their parents at 100 divided by 17 = 6% with an expected shift towards the baby which drops that down to 3%. Selfish!!!! If they had adopted fifteen kids, this world would be a better place. Get a hobby, Damn!!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday.

Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date.

Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.

"We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."

Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Whalemeat served in school lunches in an area of rural Japan are contaminated with alarming levels of mercury, a local assemblyman said on Wednesday, calling for a halt in plans for the meat to be shipped to schools nationwide.

Hisato Ryono, a assemblyman in Taiji, a historic whaling town some 450 km (280 miles) west of Tokyo, said two samples of short-finned pilot whale had mercury levels 10 to 16 times more than advised by the Health Ministry.

The samples, bought from two local supermarkets, also had 10-12 times more methyl mercury than advised levels, he said.
