This is only a short entry as ive just watched a really disturbing documentary and cannot focus on anything else. Today food wise i have had a bad day - mum insisted on pizzas. Tomorrow i go back to soups and im hoping to adopt a new vegetarian attitude due to the wake up call i had today.
A Note for Everyone:
THIS IS IMPORTANT. I know we advocate vegetarianism for its convienient dietary requirements. Namely that you can make the excuse to eat nothing but vegetables, grains and beans. But i just watched a documentary of what they do to animals for their furs. Then i watched a few more films on youtube on the treatment of animals for food. Im appauled - my sister and i were literally in tears. It has really put me off meat.
Please, just read below and watch this. If not for the animals and morality of the subject, then for encouragement to not eat meat (as part of your diet). I wouldnt usually post anyhting like this on my ana/mia site but it really is so important and upsetting.
WARNING: STRONG GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING IMAGES!
o If you dont want to watch heres what happens (from the PETA website):
When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms recently, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut.
When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera.
This one is about how animals are processed for food. Worth watching. Its called 'Meet your Meat'
Im sorry its such a depressing blog, but it does make you think. Hopefully tomorrow i will write you a more food-orientated blog. I just thought you ought to see this...
