No More Fighting Cats Pt. 2

It was convenient that just when I was thinking, ok, I really have to take the time to figure out what to feed my cats other than store bought cat food, along came this link from someone online asking the same question: Making Cat Food Now I have no idea who this person is, or [...]

No More Fighting Cats

This is a blog about food, and I am not the only one in my house that eats. Ever since my first cat chose to come home with me (believe me, she was adamant about it) back in February 2008, I have over and over asked the question: what should indoor cats be eating? As [...]

Final Trip Post!

I fully acknowledge that a lot of my thoughts are illogical. I’ve decided to eat meat, but only if I’ve met the animal and the farmer and feel satisfied that they are both attempting to the best of their ability to do what is right for the animals and the planet. But then I turn [...]

Plants Have Feelings Too

I’ve been eating meat for a few months now, and, as I suspected, my need to sit and contemplate the origins of every piece of meat has started to fade. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’ve now eaten meat from three separate farms that I have not visited, though I know the [...]

On My Way to Becoming a Balloon (Maybe)

Mmmmmm fat. I’ve been eating a lot of fat. It’s weird because you’re not supposed to eat the fat. You’re supposed to feel bad about eating the fat. You’re supposed to feed the fat to your dog and all, you know? But you know what’s in fat? All the vitamins you need to, you know, [...]

From PETA to Pork

As I was frying bacon for breakfast this morning, I thought again: This is just WEIRD. After all, I still have PETA literature on my fridge, with pictures of sad pigs and chickens, designed to put meat eaters off their appetite and be thankful for the vegan meals that had previously been the only offerings [...]

Clomp Clomp Clomp

I guess it was kind of obvious I was going to one day be un-vegan long before I even started eating cheese again. It was the boots, you see. I’ve always had conflicts within the vegetarian thing. For the first couple years, I ate plenty of Morningstar and the rest of it, fake cheese even, [...]
