5 Alive juices are vegan, but what I’m seeing lately is that they’re adding aspartame to them. God only knows why. So I can’t recommend them anymore. The last batch of Five Alive I drank were pure fruit juice naturally sweetened with the juice of fruits. Go figure!
But the sadness is not lost on me. It is an ocean with waves that beat against my shore. It is high tide right now and the saltiness of the ocean is like my tears.
You can buy many of these protein bars and meal replacement bars in chocolate, so it’s almost like having a tasty little vegan chocolate bar. But healthier, you did?
Okay, enough with the gangsta talk. Let’s get down to bidness. My top 3 tastiest vegan protein bars in order of my preference:
In North America, Europe, in fact most of the Western World we have a schizophrenic relationship with animals. Though most of have been smoking the opium of ignorance for so long we just can’t see through the haze.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about how we treat some animals as compared to how we treat others.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, renowned author and advocate for a plant-based diet, will be a guest on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher tonight. Campbell is best known for his best-selling book The China Study, which examines the negative impacts of consuming dairy and meat products and details a comprehensive nutritional study he conducted in China alongside Cornell and Oxford Universities. Fans of his work include Bill Clinton, who adopted the plant-based diet recommended by the book. Campbell is also a subject of the recent documentary Forks Over Knives, which depicts his life and career alongside the filmmaker’s step-by-step conversion to veganism. Campbell will discuss the film on Real Time at 10pm tonight.
This is a must watch video on how diet contributes if not outright causes most of the illnesses that westerners face.
You can buy the video or check it out more here. Eat as if your life depended on it because it does.
Okay, not really. But a cool vegan diet plan nonetheless that DOES work!
As I write this, I wonder if this will ever get onto the front page of Google’s search results? Not sure, I’ve never seen an organic result that contains cuss words in it. But for those 2 or 3 of you that might find this little gem amongst the real sewer shit out there, I wanted to talk about the bullshit with veganish and other such crappy fairy tales.
For those of you who aren’t in the know, as I wasn’t a little while ago, veganish is the new term delish, or is that du jour that I think it was Kathy Freston and Oprah came up with. Now maybe I’m being unkind (sorry mama), and maybe I’m misinformed and neither Freston nor Oprah came up with the namby pamby veganish term. Nevertheless, I’m gonna rant and rave about this for the remainder of the post so bear with me. You can check out a small portion of the veganish segment on Oprah by clicking here.
So I guess she did mention that atrocity “veganish”. Now the problem is that there is no fucking thing like veganish. Jeebus Christ, can you get pregnantish or murderedish. God know. This whole thing is just to pander to the friggin’ sheeple and y’all know the problems I have with the sheeple. But seriously, everyone is damn well veganish then if that’s the case. Bugs the shit out of me when people start talking about crap like that. Meanwhile, billions of animals are being mercilessly murdered every fucking year for the sake of your taste buds. That’s pure evil.
This is the problem with terms and labels. They can get manipulated, but at the end of the day, that’s all we’ve got in order to fight the shitstem. So let’s not allow ourselves to laugh along happily (Kathy I’m talking to you) when folks start coming up with inanities like veganish. You’re either vegan or you’re not. And I’ll allow for some debate on honey, though I don’t use it myself. But to sully the waters of veganism by letting folks cloud the real ethic of it with words that mean absolutely fuck all, quite frankly bugs the piss out of me.
And please, let us not allow ourselves to congratulate the devil’s minions for their efforts in trying to improve “humane” slaughter like some people do towards Temple Grandin. This is the devil’s work made to try and comfort us and assuage our guilt. Fuck no, that’s not cool, people with blood on their hands should not be congratulated and adored because that blood came at less suffering or less pain. Jesus, have we really become such cafe philosophers that this is the best we can debate. Let us either be for murder or against it. But let us not fog the issue with “painless” or “humane” murder. That just wastes time and resources.
And let me not get started on Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma. You are either okay with killing sentient creatures for no other reason than your self centred selfish taste requirements or you aren’t. There’s no dilemma about it Michael. All this bullshit has got to stop. These philosophical meanderings and navel gazing doesn’t work and it’s not helpful. All dietary guidelines now suggest that a vegan/vegetarian diet is at the very least as healthy as an omnivorous diet. So if that is the case then the only reason to eat animals is because you like the taste. It is nothing more than physical debauchery, and to be partnered with the horrendous death of tortured animals is to be partnered with evil. Plain and simple.
Vehemently vegan,
Jason
