The hard thing is that I already don't really like vegetables that much so I generally just live on pasta and cheese... not very healthy, but if I give up cheese it will just be pasta. And Dr. Pepper. Not sure how long I'd last!

Some laws have been put in place to help protect animals and regulate breeding industries; <a href="http://www.cataneselaw.com/equine.shtml" rel="nofollow">equine law</a> is the best example that I can think of. I am all for any laws that protect animals, within reason of course.

They have frequent shopper cards (unlike Whole Foods) so you can get discounts on foods bought.<br /><br />Also, eating more non-packaged foods saves money, like buying fruits and vegetables. Stir-fry dishes. Pasta dishes too.<br /><br />Trader Joe's frequently have many great deals.<br /><br />And yes, more vegan items to be found in Portland! =)Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225550114750880480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504287783877577182.post-3977008765308397532013-06-13T09:25:15.844-07:002013-06-13T09:25:15.844-07:00I agree that it isn't a social club. I find so...I agree that it isn't a social club. I find so many people these days (or maybe it was always this way) want or need something to belong to, and they pick whatever group they think fits them best or easiest. But Veganism, like you've said, takes work. It's not a social club.<br /><br />As you know, I'm not vegan, and I guess I am ovo-lacto vegetarian because I still eat dairy and eggs. However, I do not wear/buy fur or leather anymore (or alligator, or anything of the sort). I have been considering going vegan and not eating dairy or eggs anymore as well, but this may have to wait until I move to Portland. I have looked at my local grocery store here and found that they do not carry egg substitutes. I looked at their vegan mayo and it is almost $5.00/bottle! Also the non-dairy "butter" is around $5.00 there as well! I actually was surprised to see that some of the margerines I thought were dairy free actually have a small percentage of dairy in them (I read the labels). Since I'm currently unemployed, I can't afford that, but I think these things must be cheaper in Portland, being the vegan capital. Of course, once I am working again, I can afford more what I want instead of what I have to get due to price. <br /><br />Sorry I went slightly off topic here!

If we can send a man to the moon surely we can solve this issue. To me, it's like people who can be trouble to society. We try to create ways to help them; we don't eliminate these people. To treat other beings different from us humans is being speciest to me. <br /><br />Plus, there are different types of flies. I haven't done a lot of research on flies, but I think some are a lot less dangerous than others. We should then take it on as a case-by-case situation. People can carry life-threatening diseases too toward other people but we don't kill these people. Maybe there's a way to make certain animals less diseased-threatening as we do when we help cure diseases for people.<br /><br />As I said, I don't have all the answers but I don't think we shouldn't just write animals off as we don't treat humans that way.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225550114750880480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504287783877577182.post-28573556331738224102013-06-04T06:37:27.184-07:002013-06-04T06:37:27.184-07:00Gorgeous photos, too.

Unfortunately, it tells me that every job I've ever had was in the wrong room - ha ha. But I agree with you - I much prefer to be around people with intelligent, original ideas and thoughts, instead of people who are simply repeating what they hear on TV (particularly Fox news!). I want the people around me to tell me something I don't know, or something I haven't considered before. If we stop learning, we stagnate.

Almost a mob mentality. I find this to be true with most organized religions, too. None of them have it 100% right, but you can't make them see that. <br /><br />I don't know about saving flies... or rats. Flies carry diseases, as do rats and mice, etc. Then there are the nutria that are causing such havoc in Oregon and Louisianna... they are taking over and causing damage. And as much as I like squirrels, when they start ruining people's vegetable/fruit gardens (that they need for survival) or they get into your car engine and eat the wiring... (it happens here a lot!) then you kind of have to do something about it. It's not like you can catch them and re-locate them. So I don't know the answer to pest control when it involves animals, but if they are destroying your home, car or food sources, what can you do? I am definitely for animal rights, but I think you have to draw a line somewhere.
