10:31 Late Tuesday Morning (3 February 2009)   The Mobility of Arsenic in Soil "Everything in moderation." The dose makes the poison. In some cases, the poison threshold is a lower dose than you regularly consume. I am reconsidering my egg-eating habits. I haven't eaten a chicken in almost five years but I swear every day I find more and more evidence supporting my decision. Unfortunately I'm also finding more and more evidence to support a vegan lifestyle. Today's? As in chicken feed. Ingested As can be distributed all over the body, and probably gets into eggs...I don't know this for sure as I haven't myself analyzed the trace metal/metalloid concentrations in eggs but it's about risk management. I'll just eat them more sparingly, and hope for the best.

well, i don't eat a lot of meat, but i do eat it. i definitely eat a lot of varieties of things. but because of my work schedule / long nights out, my diet lately has been consisting of raw foods (produce section 4evr) (because it requires no cooking! haha), alcohol, and whatever is baking in my oven. definitely would make my mom proud if she found out ;/

although my sister did visit this weekend and my mother decided to make a pot of pork adobo, filipino dish, for her to take back to college so i swiped some of that. but mostly the meat in my diet the past few days has been the egg whites i bought, sushi i had for dinner last night, the pork adobo, and that's about it. like i said, my diet is pretty fucked up lately.

i find that it's easier to eat no meat when i eat ethnic foods. there's just so much variety. it's like they don't care to center everything else around the meat, you know? not that i'm vegetarian, but i feel more inclined to eat no meat when i'm eating indian cuisine
Man...going vegan would be super hard. Good luck with that, and I'm sorry to report that animals taste too delicious to me.

Re your last comment on Christmas to me: I spent christmas in singapore. It was VERY commercial. They do a competition for decorations in every street in the city each year, and parade floats. The entire street I was on got closed off for the parade, which looked a bit too kiddish and overhyped to me. There was a stand with music and stuff. It was just christmas carols sung by people with a too-good sound system. That's something about S'pore/Malaysia- I'm almost convinced that my hearing has gotten marginally worse when I returned.

I actually bought only ONE christmas present last year (aside from souveniers- they're 'belated christmas presents') and it was a book for myself, from goodbooks.co.nz. It's a great place to buy books if you live here- the shipping is free, prices are usually lower than most retailers, and all proceeds go to Oxfam.
when we walked through the door her jaw dropped then she started screaming and practically picked me up. i did end up getting her a gift card, but i made sure to put it in a cute card adorned with little monsters on it!

yesterday i went shopping and bought egg whites because it's healthy. i don't really eat eggs a lot so it's virtually non-existent in my diet pretty much, but i do bake a lot with them. i know there's something out there that is an egg replacer but i can't think of it at the moment.

what's an average meal look like for you?
^ I have a Buddhist friend who reckons he can smell milk on people!!
Cutting out meat I reckon is the hardest part. You can still make most things without dairy or eggs.. Mmmm.

I love soy milk. I haven't had a glass of cow's milk in a couple of years - I tried some of my sister's full cream hot chocolate the other day, and it tasted like animals! So weird.
