    Before our son was born last year my wife made me watch the Earthlings documentary by Joaquin Phoenix. It is one of the reasons we are vegan. I never was much of a meat eater before that but now I'm taking veganism seriously.

    Is that your kitty pictured?

    That is so awesome that you and your family are vegan. I started to watch that documentary you mentioned and it is utterly despicable what is going on. It's so difficult to see animals tortured and treated so badly and I get very emotional when I see this, it really hurts.

    I have nothing against hunting an animal for a food source, but this has to be done in a respectful way, as the Indigenous Nations, have done in the past. Every part of the animal must be used and nothing wasted. Only take what you need. I am very against forced enslavement, caging and torture of animals, because this is very dark and unethical.

    Right now, i'm mostly vegetarian and I do eat Fish, occasionally. I'm very thankful for the fish and before I eat I give thanks to them. I only buy organic food, and even this is risky because I don't know the grower and this is very sad.

    I'm relying on beans mostly for protein and I don't really like soybean, but I would like to find other sources of protein and was wondering if you have any suggestions. I've heard of this leafy green similar to spinach that is super high in protein, I have to find out what it's called.

    That's was one of my kitties and he passed away last year and now I have a new companion and he brings me great comfort and helps me to feel good.

    In my ideal life, I would have a large farm surrounded by lots of animals and a few good people. That is what i'm working towards now. Without animals I would be lost.

    Have a wonderful and joyful DAY :)
