see relatedHey All,
Proud to say I haven't died [though I've come close enough]. I've decided to become a vegan after reading Peta's highly recommended, Skinny Bitch, by Rory Freedman and Kate Barnouin. It was amazingly well written, and I recommend it for anyone trying to eat healthier, lose weight, or learn what the USDA and FDA are hiding.
Follow it up with Freedman and Barnouin's Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. Recipes for all meals for vegetarians and vegans, as well as healty-eaters. I got an amazing recipe for "Green Garden Pasta", which rocks my world.
Another favourite go veggie book of mine is Vegetables Rock! by Stephanie Pierson. It's got all the know-hows and what-to-do's about vegetarianism.
Check your local library for these must-reads, but I would tell you that buying them is 100% worth the cost.
[For those of you who don't want to overspend your budget, check them out on amazon.com, where you can buy new and used copies for less than the booklist price.]
***PS: Don't do what I did; order Skinny Bitch in Spanish [unless you want to] because it's very easy to mistake it for a regular version.
Catch you on the wild side!

Crappy Excuse for an Update.
Hey everyone,
Sorry about the delayed posts, but life just really sucks right now.
Plus stupid people will not stop killing no matter how many pledges and petitions are signed.
Really makes you feel good...doesn't it?

Hello all,
It's another day full of murder and abuse, but look! the sun is shining!
So im planning a trip to the mall probably tomorrow to spend my cool new "Free Veggie Burger" from Johnny Rockets. You can find the coupon here: http://www.peta2.com/stuff/s-johnnyrockets_2008.asp
But in the meantime, Peta2.com has released a ton of petitions for Animals Liberation, Torture of Animals, Boycotting KFC, Boycotting Mars Candy, and the popular "Fur Is Dead" Campaign support by bands like Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Mayday Parade, and Pierce the Veil. It's also supported by Matthew Lush, former Cutest Vegetarian Alive, and the current all-time most viewed/"befriended" user on myspace and buzznet.
So check them out and be a part of the movement!

Welcome to my blog.
So this is the lovechild of a teenager and peta2.com.
This is where im pledging my loyalty to be forever meat and cruelty-free. I've been a straight up vegetarian for a year. I saw my first peta video on March 8th, 2007, and it started a period of enlightenment for me. My life feels like it has a purpose and is no longer a tomb for dead bodies. I feel a ton better than i ever used to, not to mention the nice side effect of weight loss ;D
My friends and family support my beliefs [some more than others], and they dont exactly want to see a video, flyer, or petition telling them "how to live." So, its a never ending cycle of them refusing vegetarian options, and me trying my new ideas and persuasive techniques tryin to get them to.
But when at first you don't succeed, try and try again! I became utterly and completely fed-up with my school's "vegetarian" options, and wrote a petition to the Save/Wellness Committee, the health board of the school. I'll put a copy of it up soon. There was a successful turnout with about 100 signatures in two hours in a school of about 300 students.
So, we'll see how that turns out soon, won't we?

Hey, the name's Nora. I'm a straight up vegetarian and aspiring artist. I believe in saving all the countless lives lost for the waste of meat and animal byproducts. We're going to stop what's wrong, but we need to band together. Are you with me?
