This! I love my sweet boy and he’s so gentle and kind 99% of the time. But sometimes he choses violence. He is the reason I think all people who keep big cats as pets are not logical.

Yes, exactly. If those silly poor people only worked harder they too could be aristocracy.

Put it back please!

€2k uni fees? I paid that per semester, at a community college…where my husband is a professor and I got a 75% discount…and I’m in state (because for some reason that makes a difference)

I agree. It doesn’t cost a lot to buy lentils and make dal, but it takes time.

The problem is really our entire food system is geared towards profit and the excessive suffering that comes from that. If you want to eat meat a little more ethically…you have to spend more or have the time to raise animals yourself.

Vegans vs meat-eaters is distraction from humans vs industrialized food. Vegans are correct about the suffering of animals, but those that focus on preaching to convert would find their time best spent being compassionate to those that can’t make changes.

Some small changes include:

• have one more vegetarian day a week
• in a restaurant select the vegetarian entree or three vegetarian side dishes in stead of a meat main course
• buy from local farms if available
• make some mushy Peas for a lunch option
• meal prep (vegan/vegetarian food does freeze easily and is easy to reheat)
• if making a dish that contains ground meat substitute (homemade options below)

I mean to do it all at once is not easy. Making small changes over time can improve health and save money. Thinking about the suffering of the animals can be detrimental, because you may associate making vegan choices with thoughts of animal suffering. I used to subscribe to a vegan magazine, but half of it was amazing recipes, and the other half was distressing animal stories.

You’re not a terrible human if you eat meat! It’s not easy to change, but doing a little bit can go a long way. See if you can cut it down ❤

Advaita Vedanta with cat as Brahman. I could get behind this as a worldview.

When I quit smoking I refused to quit my breaks. It was just a shop, so it was a solo break, I would take a stick of incense and sit outside while it burned for five minutes. This was pre-smartphone and it was really peaceful.
