I can't seem to wrap my mind around this book and yet I cannot get it out of my thoughts. It is so strong, so powerful. It has left me feeling distraught, vulnerable and helpless. Based on the narrative it is easy to see what the author is trying to say and yet it doesn't completely make logical sense because it is set so far in the future. A "great extinction" in which all of the non human animals die off....just doesn't seem feasible in this day and age. Although with the rate in which society consumes this sentient beings and the rate with which science is trying to over come all of the mass production health issues while being unsuccessful this truly could become a reality. This very thought is discomforting however the book goes deeper into the lives of humans and details what also could come about from something such as a "great extinction". A society in which humans that may during this time be someone with a disability will be lowered to that of a non human animal. How is this even feasible. I can not comprehend this and continues to break my heart each time that I think about it. How can we treat someone (human and non human animal) so cruelly. I may have been able to numb my thoughts and consume them before; even after knowing what actually takes place within the animal agribusiness. Why is it that it has taken a book to make me see how truly wrong this is? I knew it was wrong and incorrigible but why did it take a book that lowered humans to this state for me to see this. I cannot stop crying. This has left me completely numb and helpless. I can't think. I can't function. I am trying to be happy but how can anyone live a life of happiness knowing the torment and torture so many go through and will continue to go through. How do I get through this? How can I make others see how awful the entire thing is?

I am going to stand out from society I can see that. I have never truly fit in anyways because I have always been one to think outside of the box. One who strives for truth and understanding of everything. And at this point of time I just want to find happiness. Can something small truly make a difference in this fight for equality and awareness? Where do I begin?

How did I allow myself to steer so far away from the truth and numb everything in my brain, mind and heart? I am so distraught over this. It is time to find my way back to what I morally, ethically, emotionally and physically believe is the right thing to do.

My cheap and quick way to pumpkin spice coffee!

Home brewed organic coffee! Add a teaspoon of sugar to the coffee cup with about 1 teaspoon of apple pumpkin pie spice. Add the coffee. Add the non dairy milk (I use unsweetened Silk Almond Milk). Stir with a spoon! Perfection mmmmm :-)

This recipe works for me! Anyone have any other ideas??

I haven't posted in a bit. My apologies. :) I have returned to voice my excited opinion of this great month of October that is upon us! We will soon be embracing the joyous first day of vegetarian awareness month! Vegetarian day is October 1st! We should all join together to try and bring some salvation to these animals that suffer for the omnivorous pallet. :(

Something very simple everyone can do if you are up for it. Bring something vegetarian/vegan to work or school and share with everyone. Don't tell them its vegetarian/vegan until after they have eaten it and loved every bit of it! Then you can share and hopefully it will begin to open up someones attention to the fact that they can help make life better for those that suffer.

I think for my Vegetarian day I am going to bring in Vegan cupcakes. I really do not know how well they will go over as I have never made them before. But I am sure they will be delicious. AND the women that I work with are always up for free delicious treats. No one has to know they are vegetarian ;) until after they have loved every bit.

If I could I would bring something in EVERY day for the month of October but as I have to work over 70 hours this week (similar number of hours for the rest of the month) I don't believe it would be humanly possible for me to do so while still functioning at any level. But it is definitely a great idea :) if there is anyone out there who is willing to take on this endeavor!
