Hi Bliss,
I was unable to get the video to load. I became a vegetarian for this same reason. At one time I was a card carrying PETA and Green Peace Member. I actually was stationed on the Rainbow Warrior when she came to Alaska to protest aerial wolf hunting. To make a long story short. I quit Green Peace because they wanted to hassle the off shore oil riggs that actually have an excellent tract record, why, because it would get more sensationalized news and ya cant take a big war ship into interior Alaska where the wolves live. I also quit PETA at that same time for lines along the same nature. I did continue my diet for about 7 years until... I met Keith and his 2 precious little girls. It was just too difficult to become a mother of 2 and a wife of 1. Plus the kids would spend 1 month in our home and 1 month with their mom, so the diet went out the window. We find ourselves eating more vegies now days and even more when we are in Mexico where I have an inexpensive access and time to prepare them.
Chrissy - It's a damn shame that organizations like Green Peace and PETA will make compromises like that for publicity and thereby work against their own principles and alienate their members.
I added a link direct to YouTube for you, see if it works. (They don't kill any pigs on film.) What struck me about the factory process of making pork rinds is, among other things, the fact that they are fried in lard, and their secret ingredient is sugar! I don't even want to know how they make them in Mexico. So gross! This is a $90 million-a-year product, so somebody is eating a whole lot of them!
Bliss are you a vegetarian? I would expect that to be hard living in Mexico and attending as many cultural events as you do. The Mexican culture uses so much pork in their cooking.
Chrissy, how do you feel about that show Whale Wars? I think what they are doing is great, but as far as the Captain... I think there should be a mutiny. Seems like he puts his crew in danger a lot. I wonder how much of that show is staged for the cameras.
jomamma - The Capt and I have pretty much given up meat, sugar, eggs and dairy since March, for several reasons having to do with his sinus problems and my weight loss. I am now down to the weight I was when we met 20 years ago. It hasn't been easy here in Mexico, but I've let go of a lot of the cravings I used to have. Often at cultural events I just don't partake, and stay away from the food. We aren't religiously strict about it. In fact, last night we gorged on homemade oatmeal cookies the Capt baked, and the night before we went through two bowls of popcorn with real butter. I try to compensate after binges like that with more salad and veggie stirfry.
That's great... and your profile pic makes you look 10 yrs younger than the previous one. You look marvelous!
Hi Jomamma, I have only watched whale wars twice. And I think that most of the volunteers actually have a passion for saving the whales. The producers have a passion for money and fame. Most of the people I met on the rainbow warrior were trust fund babies being the black sheep of their family and finding a home in the counter culture that provided them a cause and tolerated their chronic dope smoking and sexual immorality. It really was an eye opener for me.
Bliss, sorry to change the subject but check this out:
