She basically equated breastfeeding with sex.

Well, one usually does have to have the latter to make the former necessary...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We were talking about the breasfeeding doll at work yesterday, and I couldn't decide if I thought it was awesome or weird. Possibly both? I think any kind of active bodily functions are weird on a doll, but I think pro-breastfeeding propaganda is awesome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Vegetarian Myth:

Soil, species, rivers. That’s the death in your food. Agriculture is carnivorous: what it eats is ecosystems, and it swallows them whole.

My sister barely makes a living wage and she's had to take two weeks furlough this summer. It drives me crazy that they don't target those things a little more.

Yeah, we were furloughed for two days. I was talking to a cabinet member who reminded me that "I was furloughed for five days " I was like, motherfucker you make at least three times as much as I do. Cry me a river.

Agriculture is carnivorous: what it eats is ecosystems

So tempted to become all pedantic-precise about this.

I almost stopped myself from writing THIS much.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Huh. I've just been asked to contribute to the Steppenwolf blog.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Soil, species, rivers. That’s the death in your food. Agriculture is carnivorous: what it eats is ecosystems, and it swallows them whole.

I haven't read the book, but when I read the blurb on the back, my immediate question was how the author deals with all the plants that animals eat.

Oh, and the founder of Whole Foods gives his opinion on health care. [link]

While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system.

I think I may be rethinking some of my shopping habits.
