Read what they have to say here :

Josh Hartnett:

"I gave up meat when I was 12. … One day I was cutting up a chicken for my mom, and I hit a tumor with the knife. There was [pus] and blood all over the place. That was enough for me."

Kim Basinger:

"If you could feel or see the suffering, you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat."

Wu Tang Clan's Masta Killa:

"I never really liked meat. I was a child that had to be forced to eat my meat. Whatever you ate before [going vegetarian] that you loved—like turkey slices—they've got a substitute now that's not hard to find."

Mmm, Alicia Silverstone, Naomi Watts, such nice bodies, with absolutly no meat rotting inside their beautiful bodies. They're as pure as fresh fruits ; )

Devour the Earth

Even if this documentary is pretty old, it is still very accurate. The facts are just worse now, more than 10 years later, things are not getting better, on the contrary.



FACTS from the 1995 documentary "Devour the Earth" narred by Paul McCartney

In Holland , the ratio cattle/humans is 7 for 1. The forests are dying due to acid rains, caused mainly by cattles.
-we need 2 times more superficy to feed a meateater than for a vegetarian and 4 times more than a vegan.
-In certain area, wastes from cattle ranching are responsible for 70% of the acid rains.
-England could feed 250 millions of vegans
-If everyone on Earth would eat like Americans, half of the world population could not eat at all
-Meat production requires 12x more water than vegetables
10 kg of grains needed to produce only one kg of meat
-Fish industry is not better at all : to produce 1 kg of salmon you need 5 kg of fish.
-PCB, one of the most toxic product of all, is in the whole food chain but especially in water and the animals living in it.
-40% of captured fish for consumption are sigh and have cancerous tumors.
-About 240 000 tons of PCB polluted the oceans before it got banned from countries. Now it will stay in the environment, and food chain, for centuries.

ENVIRONMENT

-Before 1950, 14% of the world’s land was tropical rainforests. Now more than half are gone.
-Half of animals live in rainforests and 90% of all the different species on the planet can be found in the forests
-Each year, we cut trees of a superficy of Britain. Around 200 000 km2 per year
-Most of this to make space for cattles or to grow soy to feed cattle
-71% of cut trees in Costa Rica is for cattles. Nepal lost half of it’s forests in 20 years due to this too.
-1 hectar or 2,5 acres are needed to raise only one animal
-in 1991, latin america exports 8 millions tons of soy just to feed cattles
-In 1989, astronauts saw from their spacecraft the smoke of thousands of fires : a surface of 2,6 millions square kilometers of trees burned in Amazonia. It was rainforests being cleared for cattle ranching.
-Since 1970, the destruction of rainforest in south america caused a waste of 1,5 billion tons of carbon dioxyde in the atmosphere

-An acre of orchard produces about 35 times as much food as an acre of livestock agriculture and twice as much food as an acre of grain

Hidden Tears Behind the Iron Wall

Animals suffer, they feel emotions, pain, love; they need affection, they want to love and want to be loved. Animals can cry, as you can see in this video.  Tears of pain and sadness. A cow can cry because she knows she will die soon. A mother cow can cry the disapearance of her baby too. And the baby cries because she lost her mother. Watch 3:45 to 4:15.  Those 30 seconds should suffice to convince anybody to give up meat. Except if you're a psychopath and have no remorse and feel no emotions whatsoever... are you a psychopath? Stop paying mercenaries to the the job for you. If you do like meat, you should like it enough to eat it like real carnivore animals do: eat it raw, and the whole body, and no matter if it's dead since a few days under the sun. Don't say "oh I just eat lean meat", that's fucking sick.

Just some music videos I like

Radiohead is definitely one of my favorite band. We might not be able to hear clearly all the lyrics (at least not me, being French) but who cares. He uses his voice as an instrument to express feelings. Classical music like Beethoven symphonies don't have any lyrics and it's great. This is probably my favorite song of the recent album, you might prefer to watch it on Gliving channel for it is on a larger screen.

Another great artist whose I love his music videos, songs and lyrics is of course Leonard Cohen. His texts are the most beautiful of all the musical world, imho. Of all his albums, there is only one song I consider not being good "un canadien errant". Compared to Bob Dylan whose another great contemporary singer -- he is more productive than Cohen but almost half of his songs suck, and sometimes a whole album is bad. This will never happen with Cohen because he works ten times longer on each song, until it becomes a masterpiece, really.

Last Year's Man


A Youtube user wrote :

"Leonard Cohen is evidence that the divine is not limited to god"

Then another user commented :

""To create is divine, to replicate is human."
So for me every true artist is divine!"

what is a vegan ? I guess someone with a brain

Wow, just when I tough the world was coming to an end, it becomes even worst: many people don't even know what the word "VEGAN" means. Worst than that are their answers. They think a vegan is : an alien, a woman, a wrestler, a bug... Like, the first guy in the video, a Peace sign on his hat, and "united we stand" written on his t-shirt, but he never heard of the term vegan... I guess according to him the world should be Peace to humans, but who gives a shit about animals, or :"united we stand to kill animals" ... Noticed one of the only person that knew the answer is the only one that ain't fat. I wanted to write about good nutrition and veganism since a long time now, and I think this is the time to get started. Anyway, it's not hard: a vegan is someone who abstain from consuming/buying animal products.

new medias

Here's some cool websites to visit. I love the hi-tech, clean look of them. There's a new tendance on Internet and new technologies : eco and green medias... what's for the future ... organic computers ? a sort of technology that we plug in our bodies, kind of like in the film eXistenZ...

president of the US

Hahaha this is so funny! ::: The Vancouver Sun:
"George W. Bush gulping booze from a funnel. Sauntering into jail wearing a Yale sweatshirt. Dancing on a bar with a curvy blond. Driving on to a lawn with a lit cigarette in one hand and crashing into a garbage can on the way.
This is the U.S. president Oliver Stone wants you to know." see the trailer. While he's still the president, there's already a movie about him. I think this is a premiere, what it's gonna be after his presidency? There was even a movie about his assassination, Death of a President. I just hope Oliver Stone's film is making fun of Bush.
