Vegan

I know I’ve been terrible about posting photographs of food; I just haven’t taken any because I’ve been eating mono meals and lots of juices still!

I do have two things I want to mention here on the blog briefly, however.  First is that I’m still raw, and I want to describe a newish feeling that I have had while on raw.  It’s hard to put feelings into words that others will understand, due to the subjectivity and if the other person has not felt similarly to what I describe, it may be hard for them to form a picture of what I am intimating.  But I will try!

My skin feels fresh.  I used to get home from work after a long day and wash my face, feeling as if I was rinsing away dirt and grime (and I’m sure I was).  Now, on raw, I feel like my skin, DEEP DOWN, not just on the surface, is always clean, whether I’ve just ran for an hour or haven’t washed in 12 hours.  It’s like my body is purer and I feel more comfortable outwardly and in….

 

Another thing…..I have had occasions to converse with people in the last few months briefly regarding veganism, whether it’s just mentioning that I am one or them asking questions generally.  I enjoyed the discussions and interacting with these various people, but I can’t help but note that veganism seems extreme, radical, possibly even insane to some.

Now, I’m not the brightest person in the world, but I certainly feel that not intentionally causing harm to others could be a little more accepted and perhaps mainstream idea.  I wonder what “crazy” way of caring for others I will think of next.

Snow in Philly

I didn’t make it out to the events for non-human animals yesterday, but I did get out for a few minutes to see the beautiful snow and enjoy the best of company.

Day in D.C. and Poplar Springs

Notice how, in the second picture, the humans are disappearing, in a sense?  Symbolic of the nature in which humans are destroying their own existence on this planet…

Kate, Bryan, Deb, and Gary (yeah, me, too, but be quiet for a minute) all volunteered their time today to help at Poplar Springs Sanctuary.  The sanctuary, which also advocates strongly for animal rights and the removal of the use of non-human animals as commodities in our society, houses many goats, sheep, chickens, cows, turkeys, rabbits, horses, and pigs.

My Humidifier

Yeah, this totally has nothing to do with food, but look at my cute humidifier!!!  It says on the box that it’s for children.  Bah!!   :D

(By the way, the food pictures are less often because I have to eat all of the leftovers myself!  And sometimes that takes a few days…)
