A Woman's Right to Choose Her Food

Literally billions of years of pregnancy have taken place with people eating meat, wheat or chicken, it's yours for the picken"

Emily Deschanel has been a vegan for along time and pregnant for a lot less. She has been able to do what is best for her body, wouldn't you think that she would be doing best her growing fetus' body?

The debate should cease about what is and what isn't good for a fetus. Maternal instincts often speak louder than any other authority figure; and in this situation the mother is always right. Eating as a vegan in a non-vegan society cannot be easy, but is completely doable. There are ongoing counterproductive remarks against people who choose a specific and even more so when someone is carrying a child.

The religious tolerance that this world experiences borders on the intolerance of certain people's dietary restrictions and beliefs. People who come up to me and are shocked that I am unable to tolerate certain foods look at me like a I some type of leper. I have not only done nothing wrong, but I have embraced a lifestyle that leaves me more comfortable. So the next time you want to make a pregnant woman uncomfortable, remember that she is probably carrying a baby that is making her uncomfortable enough.

Eat up, drink up, and enjoy life.... Just let people do it in the way that I want. (disclaimer: when I say "drink up" I do not mean in any way shape or form drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

Man vs. Fat

I understand that TV is supposed to be mindless, and the MPAA and FCC have too much time on their hands to deem what is and what isn't suitable for children of some, most and all ages are able to watch. Since most TV is garbage, (as I have said, the majority of the TV that I watch is live sports); I know what I am getting myself into when I "unwind" before I go to sleep.

With the growing health epidemics called obesity and heart disease plaguing America, I find it highly unfortunate that any TV network pays and profits from "Man vs. Food". The Travel Channel offers this rubbish programming during the summer when healthy people may be out of town, yet the concept of the show is absolutely disgusting.

Adam Richman travels the United States looking for the most gluttonous foods available, and then is "challenged" to eat this heart-stopping, belt bursting food, acid inducing food. Not only does he have to eat this food that should send most people to the ER, but he has to eat this food in under a certain amount of time - not enough time to enjoy what might be delicious food.

Moderation has been the word of the century, but clearly America did not get the memo when some TV execs green-lit this show. In addition to heart disease and obesity, the next growing epidemic is diabetes which is spiraling out of control in this world, and especially in the lower classes who are glued to TV without outdoor and active activities offered to them.

I've had enough of the MPAA and FCC telling me forever that the word "FUCK" is offensive, when the same people who regulate the words that come out of the mouth's of people ON TV should be regulating what goes into the mouth's of other people being watched on the same TV.
