Why Won't Somebody Help My Mama?

If this picture made you cry then you fully understand the torture and bararic treatment that cows go through for the meat industry. This beautiful Hereford cow and her calf is heartbreaking to say the least. They will stab her with cattle prods and use a fork lift to pick her up and toss her in the trash. Some will slaughter her right where she lays. No matter the manner her suffering is caused by meat eaters. Her innocent, scared and now alone, calf will then meet the same fate.

The only way to end this suffering is to STOP eating animals. It is as simple as that. There isn't any excuses to continue to contribute to the suffering of innocent animals. You say it is your choice to eat meat, but they don't have a choice. They are forced ! Do you honestly believe that animals want to be brutally slaughtered, beaten, totured, electrocuted, drowned, dropped alive into boiling water, have their limbs chopped off while still conscious? There isn't any such thing as humane slaughter.

It is time to evolve; to make a change in your life. That will not only make you healthier than you've ever been , but will save 150+ animals a year. You alone can do this. Going vegan is not difficult. If you truly care about animals you will not want to eat them.

Vegan Recipe: Easy Smoke Hickory Maple Bacon

It's not every day that I rave on recipes, but this is one that I have used for years. This stuff is incredible! Meat eaters take notice; this guilt free meal that will make your vegan spouse very happy. 


  • 1 pound of Extra Firm Tofu 
  • 2 Teaspoons of Liquid Smoke Hickory Flavor
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoons Vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil (more if needed)

This recipe makes everybody happy!
Mix all of the liquids, and then cut the drained tofu into slices. Not too thin, as it tends to fall apart, I cut them about 1/8 to1/4 inch. This depth has done well over the years. Soak the tofu in the marinade at least 15-20 minutes. Move the tofu around to assure it each piece gets good dose of marinade. While soaking prepare a frying pan with around a 1/4 inch of oil. Less oil causes a burn to occur on the bacon too quickly. Fry in the oil approximately 5 minutes per side, until it is nice and crispy. Heat the remaining marinade in the microwave about 30 seconds. Then pour over the bacon and serve.
Note: I have always doubled or tripled the above recipe (excluding the oil), because I found that I truly needed more marinade.
Enjoy!

Nestle Corp- Breaking the Law, Murders and Animal Testing

   URGENT CONSUMER NOTICE

Nestle, a company that has been in business since 1905 is at the forefront of animal lovers around the globe. In a recent report published by The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, states that Nestle has been performing unneeded and non-required testing on mice for their green tea products.
Photo courtesy of PETA.
The mice are forced fed a concentrate of green tea, then placed in a pitch black cage. They are then shocked and eventually killed. In another useless test mice were purposely restricted to cause muscle degeneration. The experimenters then cut their legs open and decapitated them!

We are speaking of tiny mice, innocent and kind creatures being tortured for tea. Unfortunately, these are not the only test subjects that are being viciously tested on; Nestle also tests on dogs, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, cats etc. Nestle currently holds the worse possible ECRA rating for their animal testing policy, lowered significantly upon the merger with L'Oreal. They have been the focus of national boycotts for their baby milk products. They are responsible for habitat destruction in Brazil's rain-forest, and have been a target for human rights, child trafficking and sweatshops. Then there are the human murders of Nestle workers, union leaders etc.; you can draw your own conclusions see Nestle Murders.


So why is Nestle getting away with all of this? Money, they have their hands deeply embedded in the pockets of politicians and world leaders. The only way that these atrocities will stop is by drastically slowing down the demand for their products. A Boycott is the only way to hurt a massive corporation like Nestle.
There are plenty of other products sold that are cruelty free see a list here: Leaping Bunny, Cruelty Free List. For detergents Huish products now Sun Products Corp the makers of , all®, Wisk®, Surf®, Sun®, Snuggle® and Sunlight® are not tested on animals.
