  • I love beef and meat products and I always have and probably always will.

    But after spending the majority of my life trying to eat right and take care of my health … I figured out that eating beef and meat is the worst thing you can do for yourself and the planet. Eat some but only very minimally.

    Otherwise, a vegan, or a more vegan diet is by far a more economical solution for everyone and the planet in many ways. Eating more vegan increases your health and lengthens your lifespan, as well as the quality of your lifespan.

    A cow requires acres of land in order for it to be raised to its full size and harvested for its meat over a two year life span … if the same land area were converted over to growing and producing vegan protein products like beans, it would produce and generate ten times more protein and calories than raising one cow on that same land area.

    On top of that, eating too much and too often animal proteins only leads to serious lifelong health problems that in the end require you spend money to try to make yourself well again … you pay for the food twice! … once to buy and consume it and a second time to try to undo the damage the food caused … three times if you really want to think about it because the cow that was raised led to environmental degradation that you or someone else has to pay for anyway.

    The alternative is eating vegan or more vegan diets … you pay for the food once and it only benefits your health leading to longer life and a more enjoyable lifespan, while also benefiting the environment

    I love eating bbqs, hot dogs and hamburgers like most of my family … but after thinking about it for years, I’ve come to realize that it makes far more economical sense to eat more vegan, not just for me, but for everyone else as well.


  • Everything we currently eat or are able to eat was established by the deaths of millions of people who helped us to figure out what not to eat. And we’re dumb animals, so often it would take several deaths or unfortunate circumstances before we figured out what was bad for us.

    It’s kind of like OSHA rules and regulations … it’s all written in blood and death.


  • I’m up in Canada and when I look at these headlines every day … it just affirms my belief that America is a failed democracy. Everyone keeps calling it a democracy but it’s only a name or description at this point because it certainly doesn’t function like one any more.

    I’m in no special place either … we are on our way downhill up here as well. We’re not at the same level as the US but we are on our way there. The whole first world system is slowly morphing into some sort of weird Corporatocracy.








  • It’s not just the fact that a president makes these stupid proclamations …

    It’s that the whole American government, or at least a good portion of it, just goes along with it and allows it all to happen and normalize it all. Their leader is there because there is an entire community of professionals, academics, supporters, wealthy leaders, officials, bureaucrats and politicians all want him to be there. Trump isn’t some god king that magically is able to do or say all this … he’s there because enough people who are in control want him there.

    The orange menace is just the very tip of just how stupid America and American politics have become

    Engagement and data collection … sometimes it’s just a way to collect data. Anyone that responds gets added to their list of accounts that have a live person.

    They do the same for telemarketing, email, mail, phone, sms, and any other contact request … once there’s a response, it’s confirmation that the account has a human owner
