Every Life

My friend, Malory, started Every Life Has a Story after losing her baby girl, Janessa. I know that most of us haven't experienced such a loss, but many of us know someone who has. It would be great for you to become a fan of her page if you're on facebook and follow her blog because you never know who might stumble upon it through you. I know that she'll help a lot of grieving parents through her efforts.

Stop stuffing your face for a minute and read this...

It doesn't matter what you support. Somehow, whatever it is that you feel strongly about, reducing your meat consumption will support that. If you care about climate change, the agricultural industry contributes more harmfully to climate change than every mode of transportation combined. If you care about animal welfare, take a look at how this industry treats animals. If you care about poverty, consider what western meat consumption is doing to third world economies every time you pay $1 for your fast food burger. If you care about the depleting rain forests, think about how much of the Amazon is destroyed every year to make more room for cattle.

I'm not asking anyone to stop eating meat all together. Just stop eating so much of it. And stop supporting an industry that is so full of greed that it has lost any sense of humanity.

“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

Or so said the German novelist, Berthold Auerbach. I thought I would post this video. Her name is Sarah. She has amazing vocals and I really love her lyrics. The fact alone that she can play a guitar and sing at the same time makes her cooler than me. Ha! And so she more than deserves a spot in my blog.
