So I’m still not a vegetarian.
But I tried my 1st fast-food veggie burger.
It tasted like a giant bean.
Which is to say, it tasted alright.
If you like big thick, bean cake with your pickles.
Long story short: it might have to grow on me.
Any suggestions for spicing up said-bean-patty (that do not involve sprinkling hamburger meat on it, although [...]
I’ve been learning a lot about humane animal treatment in the last year, so this article about Ted’s most recent endeavors caught my eyes.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s going on:
A herd of buffalo are being quarantined outside of Yellowstone park, in an effort to try to prevent the spread of brucellosis (a yucky animal disease) [...]
I have lived on this planet for 31 years now and yet there are so many things I barely know anything about.Today, for example, I was browsing information on camper/RV rentals (a pending adventure I’ll get to in some future post) and was of course blown away by random industry-factoids that I couldn’t have guessed [...]
Here’s the previously-mentioned contact list for chain restaurants in Prison City (Jackson, Michigan)–many of which are found in cities across America. I’m also throwing in (free of charge) a couple talking points, straight from your local bovine’s Christmas list, that you might want to touch on while talking to Ronald MacDonald himself. Or you can [...]
This blog is a follow up to a series of blogs on Dominion. The next couple will address my own response to the new information and awareness.
I would never have picked up Dominion, or respected its content so much, if it wasn’t for Erik.
I’m not really sure how to best describe Erik.
There was a [...]
Mostly, vegetarians seemed like glorified animal lovers, people who could be admired for their giant hearts and the soft spot they had for animals.
Animals were so cuddly.
Whywouldyoueatthem?
I think part of the reason I never got too into the vegetarian “scene” is that when I think of farms, I don’t think of industries, I [...]
This post is Part 2 of my Ode To Animals, a spin off from a series of blogs related to Matthew Scully’s book, Dominion*. You can read Part 1 here.
In high school, I dated Nathan, a member of my graduating class, who owned pet deer. He was and is a nice guy all around, [...]
This post is a spin off from a series of blogs related to Matthew Scully’s book, Dominion*.
As I’ve been blogging about Dominion, and growing increasingly mouthy about inhumane animal practices, some have begun to suspect I’m on my way to becoming a (DUNH-DUNH-DUNH)….vegetarian.
When I talk about it, some respond with an unsurprised tone that [...]

I’ve always been a pretty intense person. That intensity tends to hijack just about everything, including my capacity to love. I love instinctively, the way little kids do–big and crazy, without a lot of forethought about social norms.
I mention [...]
This post is from a series of blogs related to Matthew Scully’s book, Dominion*. Scully claims no ground can be gained for animal rights unless people can reach a common belief that there is such a thing as justice. “We must believe,” he says,
“there is such a thing as truth.” It is only after we [...]
