michellefromhermac comment-62106 2012-01-11T01:59:39Z 2012-01-11T01:59:39Z Even if you do eat meat and enjoy burgers, you should still say "No Cheese Please"! Cheese is the worst offense to your arteries and other insides because it glues up your insides and causes plaque. I've actually seen this hideous plaque in a cadaver(that likely killed the individual), and the arteries make a cracking noise when cut. Cheese also contains large amounts casein, which is an "addictive" cancer causing substance that was intended to help nourish and grow a calf, but causes cancerous cells to grow in human beings not intended to eat dairy products. Also if you still want to eat meat rather than a "vegan" burger, then go find a chain that will feed you a cow that was grass-fed only , and not fed corn or other things on a feed lot that grazing animals aren't intended to eat so as to prevent being poisoned by "e coli" bacteria. Also consider burgers tend to be made from ground meat which is from a number of animals, so therefore if there is one that can cause illness in a human, there is no way to track it down. michellefromhermac 2012-01-11T01:59:39Z michellefromhermac comment-62033 2012-01-10T02:34:32Z 2012-01-10T02:34:32Z While the show does give to rescue groups, this was the first show they specifically promoted "hybrid" crossbreeds, as always being acceptable as docile pets, when many times they have behavior problems, including attacking other animals as well as people. On Friday night just as I was discussing with the judges the Big Cat Rescue's opposition to crossbreeding domestic felines with wild cats, the African Savannah hybrid "Trouble" apparently had trouble so bad that he couldn't be on display at the show. This hybrid looks just like the wild cats that have ended up at Big Cat Rescue (in Florida), including a Savannah called "Diablo", for supposedly unexpected behavior issues when they grew up from being kittens. Others crossbreed-hybrids of course have gotten put down because of "wild" behavior, that of course wasn't the fault of the cat's breeding akin to breeding domestic dogs with wolves. Just as with dogs, undoing three thousand years of domestic breeding doesn't present any advantages for either the endangered wild animals nor the overpopulation of the domestic ones. Anyway both wild and domestic cats end up suffering to create the one rare prize hybrid cat going from a first generation crossbreed to a third or fourth generation-and can result around 50 cats that most likely can't be household pets, that can either end up being destroyed or killed to make coats. Just makes one wonder, why not just save the endangered actual wild cats? But of course there is no money in that! While the main judge told me that he wouldn't allow first generation crossbreeds into this show, its seems apparent that the owner(s) of "Trouble" might have deceived them.(A vet could of looked at this cat and given a report) Well they now should be made responsible for proper care of this hybrid cat along with its unpredictable behavior for the rest of its life, including keeping him contained from possibly causing harm to other people or their pets. michellefromhermac 2012-01-10T02:34:32Z michellefromhermac comment-58288 2011-10-06T18:01:24Z 2011-10-06T18:01:24Z My problem is though on a limited income is that I can often convince these restaurants to charge me somewhat less for ordering just vegan items. Yes at times they still look at you strange when you order a "salad" without dairy dressing, or else say "hold the cheese and mayo" for a veggie sandwich to then tell them what to replace those unhealthy artery clogging animal products with. But now for this they apparently want to charge vegans as me extra for more adding their "special" vegan items, and most likely at an outrageous price. Also being involved with the local vegan society I had the same problem that others did about restaurants:I certainly am not eating period at any place that serves on the menu veal or foe de grau. Anyplace that aren't at least thinking of helping the meat industry be more ethical aren't worth my spending my money at. michellefromhermac 2011-10-06T18:01:24Z michellefromhermac comment-56908 2011-09-08T22:11:41Z 2011-09-08T22:11:41Z I so badly wanted to enter this year, but I ran out of money and the deadline came. One reason was that last year I saw the bra show was that it repeated myths such as "underwire bras causing cancer", when in fact it has to do with a woman's diet. For instance there are women whom wear more extreme things than underwire bras, but don't get breast cancer because they don't eat animal based diets like American and Westerners do, but mainly eat plants. In fact a good fitting underwire bra, just like a proper fitting corset, can help a woman keep her figure in shape. Because I am a vegan, and its scientifically proven to prevent breast and many other kinds of cancers, I wanted to make a vegie-bra and panty set, and use for inspiration a famous model whom did a green vegi swim suit for a PETA event that looked like salad greens. However I plan to incorporate into the design a "rainbow" of anti-cancerous foods, which I will do next year. michellefromhermac 2011-09-08T22:11:41Z michellefromhermac comment-54044 2011-07-28T20:15:46Z 2011-07-28T20:15:46Z One thing I am mentioning to "La Vida En La Vale" is that praise should go to the public library system for presenting hispanic-latino music without the presence of Mexican alcoholic beverage vendors trying to profit from selling their products. At the State Fair I heard some good "sabor" music, but was it was also being used to push alcoholic beverages to minor teenagers present whom wanted to just enjoy music of their heritage( as if the hispanic community already have big enough problem already with alcohol abuse!) And yeah even if I did drink alcohol, I sure wouldn't buy it from a Mexican factory which may not meet may not meet health and safety standards that U.S consumers expect. michellefromhermac 2011-07-28T20:15:46Z michellefromhermac comment-54043 2011-07-28T20:06:10Z 2011-07-28T20:06:10Z I am a writer and I look forward to the day to just have "E-book readers" or "Kindels" so I don't need to have to buy or store books anymore. I am self-publishing a new book through "create-space" but I reall would like to charge for it to be "downloaded" , but I worry about copyright laws. But also I frankly I also hope that college and university students could now just download textbooks and save educational costs. michellefromhermac 2011-07-28T20:06:10Z michellefromhermac comment-52937 2011-07-07T16:18:53Z 2011-07-07T16:18:53Z Check out from the public library "The Future of Food" (made about 2005) it points out that Europeans for years have mentioned by law if a food product is made with GMOs, but the U.S still can't get that info. I have to correct so-called "conservatives" that it is not "nanny government" but being involved and knowledgable in one's community to demand changes and new regulations for the corporations whom grow and process our foods. Even our children's health and minds are even at stake, especially being so many are being predicted to live shorter than their parents. michellefromhermac 2011-07-07T16:18:53Z michellefromhermac comment-52165 2011-06-14T23:10:45Z 2011-06-14T23:10:45Z Again your assertions Hunnicutt, have nothing to do with that zionism was purposely set up by Nazis such as Aldof Eichmann in the 1930's so that Jews and Arabs would end up murdering each other. We have spent billions on this over the past sixty years to the detriment of the U.S, along with creating more extremist anti-U.S muslims. michellefromhermac 2011-06-14T23:10:45Z michellefromhermac comment-52163 2011-06-14T23:02:18Z 2011-06-14T23:02:18Z Your assertions have nothing to do with the fact that zionism was purposely set up by Nazis along with those as Adolf Eichmann in the 30's so that Jews and Arabs would end up murdering each other. http://jewishracism.blogspot.com/2007/11/adolf-eichmann-was-crypto-jewish.html By the way I support France in that they are finally willing to stand up for rights as a Western civilization, instead of having ridiculous Muslim or "shrea laws" imposed upon them and employers. Also China as opposed to how they've treated evangelical Christians, the only "oppression" they've really put on Fulan Gong, is declare it a stupid cult. michellefromhermac 2011-06-14T23:02:18Z michellefromhermac comment-52157 2011-06-14T22:29:35Z 2011-06-14T22:29:35Z We don't need to buy anything from Israel as long as they don't do as the U.S tells them to, which is to cease discrimination policies against Arabs that would not be allowed in our country. Israel today wants to enforce policies that are a lot like those that were outlawed in the U.S over fifty years ago due to race/ethnicity. For instance this past year I even met a local church a lady whom had graduated from Jerusalem university whom while attending had been arrested right in the middle of a class by Israeli cops whom accused her of having ties to some terrorists, even though she's a Christian.(!) Thank God that Christians at that University helped her clear her name and to return to her studies. michellefromhermac 2011-06-14T22:29:35Z michellefromhermac comment-51698 2011-06-04T20:56:23Z 2011-06-04T20:56:23Z Let me guess already: a menu of items like fries and cheesy coated stuff that would of course offset any health benefits whatsoever one would get from eating the garlic on it michellefromhermac 2011-06-04T20:56:23Z michellefromhermac comment-51696 2011-06-04T20:49:11Z 2011-06-04T20:49:11Z I would never go back to an era where you didn't wear a helmet to ride a bike especially since I have known people where a helmet saved their life. michellefromhermac 2011-06-04T20:49:11Z michellefromhermac comment-18071 2009-11-21T03:53:17Z 2009-11-21T03:53:17Z "There is enough water for human need, but not enough for human greed" -Ghandi michellefromhermac 2009-11-21T03:53:17Z michellefromhermac comment-18070 2009-11-21T03:49:39Z 2009-11-21T03:49:39Z Another of the right-wing political groups in the name of "patriotism" not dealing with the reality of the need to preserve and conserve our natural resources, The indigenous people here before white man lived in harmony with the land rather than exploit and pollute it. michellefromhermac 2009-11-21T03:49:39Z michellefromhermac comment-18069 2009-11-21T03:42:35Z 2009-11-21T03:42:35Z I'll take raw cacau over processed chocolate anytime, thank you. michellefromhermac 2009-11-21T03:42:35Z michellefromhermac comment-18068 2009-11-21T03:40:12Z 2009-11-21T03:40:12Z Every American should plant trees rather than cut them down for mere decoration, and even use a live tree to plant later as their Christmas tree. What a waste too to let a tree grow to that size as they put up at the mall, only to have it cut down. Living trees that size add more to our oxygen and environment than dead trees. Also America needs to use hemp instead of trees for its paper products. michellefromhermac 2009-11-21T03:40:12Z michellefromhermac comment-18066 2009-11-21T03:16:29Z 2009-11-21T03:16:29Z Where's President Obama regarding National Adoption Day? (and this month?) So far unlike President Bush, Obama hasn't offered any proclaimation or greeted and honored adoptive parents and adoptees at any of the events. Could this be because one of his biggest funders is Planned Parenthood, which profits from abortions it performs rather than adoption? I can imagine for those whom went to Washington D.C being left with only Secretary Sebelius to carry out the honors wasn't the same as having the presence of the U.S president. The media should also take interest in dispel common lies about adoption fabricated by the "pro-choice" movement as "prospective parents wouldn't be interested in adopting outside their race/ethnicity" or "handicapped children" when in fact potential adopters get on waiting lists (even waiting for years) to get such children. michellefromhermac 2009-11-21T03:16:29Z
