Oh I see, cheese is very addictive after all (casein turns into casomorphin in the body, which has an opioid effect). Just wondering, have you tried vegan/plant-based cheese? I love it. Does the same job as cheese for me, though I don't have it that much.

I personally decided that the ethical and environmental problems, in addition to the health impacts, of animal derived cheese/dairy weren't worth purchasing and consuming it. But luckily we have products that taste exactly the same, lol.

I respect that but it's still difficult for me to see what everyone else is doing to animals, and that's even if I don't get any rude comments from people because of my vegan (plant-based) food.

Any way forgive me but I feel like every vegetarian deserves to know the truth about the dairy industry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcN7SGGoCNI

And here's a good video about why I don't eat eggs either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YFz99OT18k

Happy thanksgiving :)

I understand and I respect that. I get that Thanksgiving is important to people. But as someone who cares a lot about animals, it's really hard to see people all eating a turkey as a tradition. I hold my tongue and don't speak out against it, symbolic day and all, but I feel sadness inside and sometimes it's hard to prevent that coming out in how I carry myself on the occasion.

 

Is it just "extreme temperatures" in general that can have medicinal properties?

It's "at a loss for words", not "at a lost of words".

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seemed at a loss for words at the justification being used to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza.
