I did it! I made it through another semester, a much more difficult road this time, and passed with flying colors. Talk about a lot of work though!!!! I have about 3 weeks off now until summer session starts, and boy oh boy, I feel like I am free. This weekend is going to consist of some hardcore getting my house back in order. As you can probably tell by my lack of writing, I have not been doing very well with time management, and keeping up with the basics. So I need to FOCUS.
I have gotten almost all the way through a VERY interesting book though......The Omnivore's Dilemma. My lil' sis read this a couple months ago, and I believe everyone in the industrial food eating world should read this book. I can tell you a few things I've decided to do based on this information, without getting too graphic.
- I will NEVER eat industrial raised cow again. NEVER.
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm a vegetarian now as well. Unless I can find a way to buy local chickens and meat that I know were grass, NOT corn fed, and NOT pumped full of crap.
- I will also NEVER buy regular eggs again.
I think down deep I knew that what went on in the process of producing all the mass quantities of meat for the industrial food chain was inhumane. And I've known for a while now that so much of what we as Americans put in our bodies is toxic. Plain and simple, toxic. But honestly, I feel completely opened up now.
After my sis read this book, she went off the grid. She no longer shops or buys produce from grocery stores. All-be-it she lives in Cali, so there is much more opportunity for her to buy from local farmers markets year-round, but she's made it manageable. I think she buys chicken at Trader Joe's. I think that if I buy local as much as possible, learn to eat the foods of the season (like every other country in the world) and stick with the theory if it comes in a box, you probably shouldn't eat it, then I would be making great strides.
