Schon mal bei KFC gegessen?

Go vegetarian! Do you need more reasons?

1. Because eating meat and dairy products makes you fat. As a nation, we’re getting fatter, but only 2 percent of vegetarians and vegans are obese, compared to 18 percent of meat-eating Americans.

2. Because in every package of chicken, there’s a little poop. A USDA study found that 98 percent of broiler chicken carcasses had noticeable levels of E. coli, indicating fecal contamination. There are more than 50 million cases of meat-related foodborne illness every year in the U.S., thousands of which lead to death.

3. Because no living creature wants to see her family slaughtered. Cows love their calves, sows love their piglets, and chickens love their chicks. Farmed animals love their families and mourn their loss.

4. Because you wouldn’t eat your dog. Most people are horrified that some cultures eat dogs or whales, but these animals suffer no more than animals commonly eaten in the U.S. The difference is only cultural, not moral.

5. Because it’s violence that you can stop. We may feel powerless to stop war and other forms of violence, but we can choose not to support slaughterhouses by rejecting flesh foods.

6. Because you can’t eat meat and call yourself an environmentalist. Factory farms produce 130 times as much waste as the entire human population of the U.S. Raising animals for food also requires more than one-third of all greenhouse-gas-emitting fossil fuels used in the U.S. Factory farming is responsible for our rapidly disappearing forests and has destroyed three-fourths of our topsoil, a permanent environmental catastrophe that can’t be corrected. A totally vegetarian diet requires 300 gallons of water per day, while a meat-eating diet requires more than 4,000 gallons of water per day.

7. Because when animals feel pain, they scream too. If you burn them, they feel it. If you give them electric shocks, they feel it. Animals feel pain in the same way and to the same degree that we do.

8. Because no matter how you slice it, it’s still flesh. Other animals are made of flesh, bone, and blood, just as we are, so „meat“ is just a euphemism for a rotting corpse used as food.

9. Because even prisons aren’t as crowded as factory farms. Animals in factory farms are crammed into so little space that many of them are unable to do anything that’s natural or important to them for their entire lives.

10. Because no one deserves to die for your taste buds. A human being’s desire for a momentary taste of flesh is not as important as another animal’s desire not to be tortured and violently killed. It’s just common sense: Our fellow animals have the same kinds of feelings and desires that we do and we should not abuse and kill them merely for a meal.

I feel you in my heart and I don’t even know you…

ein weiterer langweiliger Tag im Leben der J.  … heut vergeblich auf der Suche nach nem Pulli, den ich in Nürnberg gesehen und leider nicht gekauft habe. Stattdessen hab ich ne CD gekauft. Ich les jetzt weiter Until I find you von John Irving und hör Bruce Springsteen dabei…

Sometimes my silent rage overwhelmes me  and I wanna hurt myself…

This is radio nowhere

Is there anybody alive out there?

Ich mutiere gerade leicht zum Bruce Springsteen Fan lol… ich lieeebe das neue Album… das is so schön…retro *g* Mein Leben is langweilig…ich hätt soviel zu tun, aber ich machs nicht. Warum? Ganz einfach: weil ich eine faule Sau bin, die dazu neigt, sich selbst zu überschätzen und meistens auch damit durchkommt…muhaha. Aber ich hab jetzt wenigstens schon die Hälfte von den Fahrschulbögen durch. Juhu. Ganz so faul war ich also doch nicht. Meine Facharbeit wartet nur auf mich….bäh. Will nit. So…und heut muss ich jetzt noch Physik machen. Vielleicht mach ichs auch morgen früh…irgendwie schieb ich Dinge sehr gerne auf…öhöm.

Welch ein Tag…

…ich wurde mit New Age gequält, ich hab meine Tasche mit Filz gepimpt, die Marienkäfer erobern die Welt mitten im Oktober und ich schau jetzt endlich Mullholland Drive… morgen gehts nach Nürnberg, ich hoff das klappt alles.
