Calf farm cruelty exposed.

I finally watched the video. I've seen many others before...but this physically made me sad...and pissed. The E6 Cattle Co. in Hart, Texas is on my shit list. Find that mother fucker(s) that did those deplorable things in that video, and I want his name and number. What a spineless coward....FUCK! This pisses me off to no end...I'm not backing down.....

Vegan.

Been putting alot of energy into the thought of "Am I a Vegan or a Vegetarian"? Doing my homework, and going over my diet, I've come to the conclusion that I am a Vegan! I don't eat ANY animals...no fish,meat of any kind, pork, no dairy and no eggs! But I'm not a strict Vegan, meaning I still wear my 5 yr old leather boots (till I can find a VERY durable pair of Vegan boots!) but my belt comes from an old conveyor belt (non leather). Other than that, I'm pretty strict on what I eat, reading labels, where I eat, big animal rights guy,Peta,etc. It can be a hassle, but also can be quite fun!!

What do you eat then??

Being a full time vegetarian and nearly a vegan too....the question I get asked the most is...."Well then...what do you eat?" Honestly we eat very good...I still eat "ice cream"..."meat" sandwiches...all ethnic foods I loved before, just I eat NOTHING from an animal...no eggs or dairy either. it's hard for me to really enjoy a meal when I know something was killed and usually tortured in order for me to eat. Eating the way we do is actually very simple and quite fun! Thankfully we live in a wonderful city with 100's of Vegetarian/Vegan options..any ethnic food place we go to has Veggie options, supermarkets are stoked FULL of great options...We actually eat better now than ever...and nobody had to die in order for us to be health and enjoy this lifestyle. I always say...do your homework about what you eat....I assure you there are better ways to eat...and healthier too!!

PISSED!!!!!

NOTHING in this world PISSES ME OFF MORE than cruelty to animals,nothing. I'm a VERY proud, passionate Vegetarian. I'm SO FUCKING PISSED I can't even see straight!! I just watched "From Farm to Fridge"...how horrific! It's nothing new to me, I've done my homework, seen the videos, but some people can be SO IGNORANT!! I recently saw this video on the Chinese fur trade and the "methods" they used to remove the fur from these animals. I saw many animals skinned of their fur while still alive! One raccoon after being skinned alive and tossed aside, was able to lift its head and look into the camera. FIND ME THAT MOTHERFUCKER that skins these animals alive or the inbred,hater,SON-OF-A-BITCH that punches those calves and BRING HIM TO ME IMMEDIATELY!  Or any of these low live pieces of shit that do this kind of work, I would LOVE to have a talk with them!! FUCK! Educate yourselves people!! Learn where your food comes from!! Quit turning a blind eye to feed your fat ass and your obese children. LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR FOOD!! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE...you have a voice, and a choice..USE THEM!!

Midwest USA

I'm from the Midwest....Wisconsin to be exact, (insert cheese joke here_______________) so of course, I visit there ALOT, too much actually. Being a Vegan/Vegetarian it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to eat here! To all restaurants in the area....INVEST IN SOME VEGGIE PATTIES!!! Seriously, I can't be the ONLY person that eats good, or wants to. Call your suppliers and order a box of "Gardenburgers" that little investment will easily pay off! Change a few little things on your menu, and I promise it will pay off, added customers never hurt business....right?

Today is the day

I'm officially done with all dairy and eggs. But I'm not calling myself a 100% Vegan quiet yet. I don't eat ANY meat, poultry, or fish....no dairy or eggs, but does that make me a Vegan? I've become a HUGE label reader, making sure there's no dairy or egg stuff in the ingredients...maybe I'm a bit confused...hehe. I'm ready for this change though. Been asked why the additional change in diet...well, honestly? I felt like a hypocrite when eating eggs and not eating chicken. Plus eggs are unhealthy!
Last night was my last "meal" containing dairy...I went out in style...Taco Bell ( no meat of course!!)

I assure you....MANY more tales to come...................

Eggs.

I think the biggest reason I haven't quite switched over all the way to Vegan is because of the egg. Everybody loves eggs, right? One of my very favorite meals has always been, breakfast burritos. I cook the potatoes, onions, peppers....add in the eggs.....stuff a tortilla, and PRESTO!! Since becoming a Vegetarian 3 years ago, I made sure to eat cage free,organic, blah, blah, blah.......
Well recently I came across a recipe for Tofu scramble, well hell I happen to have, firm tofu in my fridge! So I cut it up into small pieces then break it up with my fingers (as instructed) and while still using my potato concoction, I add the Tofu in place of the eggs. WOW who would have thought that I can have the same favorite breakfast meal I love sooo much, without the chaos of the egg mixture?! Yum.

Needless to say....I've eaten my very last egg....ever.
I will be a full time VEGAN starting Feb 1st.

So yeah....

Like my intro says.....I'm a proud Vegetarian and I'm about to switch over to all Vegan. I'm also a VERY devoted, tattooed Metal head. This blog with contain elements from both worlds.... General entries, recipes, music talk,links to websites I enjoy...etc. I may have issues with properly structuring a sentence at times, but I try hard.

Might not always be pretty, but always honest, and slightly in your face. So PLEASE comment and follow me!

And yes....the Blog title is a direct play on an Iron Maiden song....only the best band ever...right??
