Wow. Just went back and saw this video. Today I just went from vegetarian to pescetarian. And why did you go to blond? You look so nice with dark hair.
Haha, finishing my A-levels was the best day of my life until I passed my driving test! The meat industry is hellish. I've taken to eating RSPCA approved freedom food - the extra expense is worth the peace of mind. I'll add 'Infinite Jest' to my list. As for politics, most people know more names of actors/singers than politicians - it's crazy, but I guess it's just the sort of time we're living in.
So Fineline, She obviously wasn't being salacious, and she really shouldn't have to put up with the 'porn culture' mindset, even from New York where so much of it comes from.
As to your question, I do enjoy life. And as to your implication, yes I may be a somewhat Puritan New Englander still. It's not widely understood, helped to create our Nation, doesn't preclude anything worthwhile, and I recommend it. Sorry to sound overly self-satisfied.
So Finelinesmashesskull, Why would you post something like that to a kid? Or even to just a decent person? What the hell is wrong with you? And what country are you from?
So Rojas, well done on the vegetarianism. Hope it's going well. I'm trying to be vegetarian, but have only managed pisca-vegetarianism so far, and with lapses even from that.
If you were moved by the ethics of it, you'd likely be interested in the great new documentary/suspense movie out now called 'The Cove', about the annual and upcoming Japanese mass murder of dolphins. If you think it has merit, would you please pass the word?
You're a vegetarian?! I am too, and I have been for about a year. Good luck! Personally, I think it's one of the best changes that I've made to my life ever. I really should read Skinny Bitch.
Oh, Looking for Alaska and The Bermudez Triangle. God, I love those books.
It's always best to start off slow when becoming a vegetarian :D I'm currently a pescetarian but I'm working towards being full on vegetarian :) it's been a year now
Rosianna, I presume you do not make this lifestyle choice in order to become 'skinny' since you are clearly in good shape and form, but all I can say is Good Luck to you ....and im glad you agree that it is 'too hard hitting' ..
Oh I absolutely didn't adopt this to become skinny, nor was this book the sole reason for my lifestyle change but rather the nail in the coffin for my meat-eating days as it were! It is definitely taking a huge risk in its mode of attack, as I worry for vulnerable people who have problems with eating who may finish this book with worse problems and more guilt associated with eating, which is purely dangerous.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
rubbish! its girls like you who promote anorexia through the back door by using vegitarianism as a form of deceit and in this case the book is your excuse as a catalyst to starve yourself 'look at me I wont eat meat, its terrible, animals suffer blah blah blah' yeah right.......how much do u weigh these days by the way Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? shame on you
Dont get me wrong, the book is VERY entertaining as you feel they are your personal mentors as they grip you with colloquial terms, but to cut out meat AND dairy....COME ON. it all gets a bit exaggerated towards the end, what are we supposed to snack on then? some air? some dust? please!!!!
I believe eating in moderation is the best way, have all in small quantities and you can be 'skinny' matched with appropriate forms of exercise - one is sorted from there on after.
This idea is sending the wrong message to people, meat is meant to be consumed by human beings to help us function. I for one could not give up meat, but not for personal reasons, i am slightly anemic and require the abundant iron in red meat to be 'pumped' with energy.
There is a lot of truth in the matter ...the meat industry as described with harrowing and raw terms in the book is sick. The treatment of the animals is in fact awful and unforgiving- yes but this is the way it is.
Rosianna, in response to your new found vegetarianism I invested in 'Skinny Bitch' to see how effective it is, in convincing people to adopt a new lifestyle.
I appreciate your choice, and have nothing against Vegetarians. However, the book serves the purpose of completely brainwashing people..and this notion in my opinion stems from a line that aggravated me completely: 'If you want to get skinny you have to be a vegetarian' WHAT?? WHAT A JOKE BASICALLY.
Rosi, I went to London for the first time last weekend and I luckily came across the events in Lecister Square and I was just wondering if you saw the HP Truck? It was pretty fantatstic.
I think I like meat to much to become a vegitarian although yeah I dont agree with alot of the meat industry.
Im liking the list, few things on there id like to read.
Its great to be abe to read for lesuire again isnt it? :)
It was pretty cool, it was some props from Half Blood Prince, some costumes and a downsized version of Dumbledore's office. They let you try out the new games aswell on WII and PS2. It was pretty sweet I have to say.
Hope you're having fun in the US. Whooo HP tomorrow.
I'm not a veggie myself, because I love meat too much, but (depending on your taste) I would recommend Gujarati food; I've read/heard the 'experts' describe it as probably the most nutritious, yet varied (hence, tasty if you eat the right stuff) vegetarian cuisines in the world. In my own experience it is pretty good, though admittedly there may be some bias there, seeing as it's the food of my ancestors...
PS good luck with your A-level results...and the extensive summer reading
This isn't really relevant to you becoming vegetarian, but when you have some time you might like In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. It took on the western diet and all its problems.
Good luck going vegetarian! I've been vegetarian all my life, and have never understood why people eat meat. It really confuses me. Anyways, I've been flirting with with veganism recently, and we shall see how that goes...
Yay Infinite Summer! It's only my first time reading Infinite Jest, so I'll more be reading instead of dissecting, but I'm excited to be part of this sort-of book club.
I've heard good things about Skinny Bitch and I've been interested in reading it, except that most people come out of it switching to vegetarian. And I love chicken, so. Yeah.
Yay! I'm really annoyed that it didn't fit in my suitcase :( I miss out on weeks of reading. Ah well.
Mm, it really can be hard-hitting though. So if you love chicken, I don't know. I love chicken. Chicken has, I think, been the hardest meat to give up.
also the ladies with gossip girl... i think they're not trying to get them removed... just put in the ADULT section instead of young adult. WHICH i think is ridiculous but you know. i'm sure some people are trying to have it banned entirely.
I must say, your taste in books is incredible. I have yet to dislike a book you recommended or talked about.
Also, congratulations on going vegetarian! I've been one for about a year and a half and your reasons are the exact same as mine it seems. It's not that I don't like meat, I just don't agree with the industry at all. How they treat the animals is appalling.
Your reading list impresses me! I love reading, but my attention span is pathetically short--I read too much fluff for my own good. I have been trying to get better, because real books are far superior.
I'm not sure how you can manage to read several books at the same time, I top out at two or three before it becomes too much of a chore for my less awesome brain. You hair looks gorgeous of course, but I'll reserve final judgment on whether I like you better as a blond. Yay for veggies but make sure you get enough vitamins.
The other day my sister was in a Tesco Express and some random man was shouting about foreigners and how they "carry diseases". Everybody can carry diseases. She then went up and told him the facts but he wasn't really listening.
I really can't wait till Friday! :)))) I'm so excited. Me and my friend was confused at what time we should get there. We didn't know what time most people were getting there. :s
Luckily now my school has calmed down and I'm reading the Kite Runner. :)
I tried going vegetarian all at once a couple times before and it never seemed to last for more than a couple days.
However, this year i decided to do it gradually and i've slowly been eating less and less meat (one more veggie day per week every month). By july I'll be a full vegetarian and i haven't cheated once :)
It get a lot easier after a while ... i don't even want to eat meat anymore :)
woah good luck with everything, your hair looks great :). have you ever read anything by Kate Morton? she has 2 books, The Forgotten Garden (which i looove) and The House on Riverton aka The Shifting Fog.
Wow , have a nice time at prom ! mines this friday and im sooo looking forward to it . You are an inspriation on reading lots of books , i might jump the band wagon :)
Your new hair colour is a nice change; it makes you look sophisticated. I liked it blonde too though.
Anyway: it was good to hear you're receptive to alternative points of view. Jazza's video seemed more of a rant.
I hope your new diet includes everything you need to stay healthy -- don't feel guilty about eating what is good for you. I reckon they (TPTB) would like to make everyone feel guilty for breathing these days!
I love Agatha Christie so much. I'm more of a Poirot fan than Miss Marple though. I need to get my library membership re-instated since the libraries at uni will be closed over the winter break. Also mum just got a couple of boxes of books down from the roof (we have nowhere else to put them)
I agree that not enough political discussion happens, I got into a bit of an argument with someone in the comments of the BNP video.
good luck with your vegetarianism... you should read animal vegetable mineral if you haven't already. also, love your hair, you are so lucky that you can look good both brunette and blond.
hair looks good Rosi, good luck on your vegetarian road ( I took the vegan road once, but merely for experience, not to keep it at it...it's super hard). Good luck on your final exam
I'm currently reading The Book Theif by Markus Zusak, which I am reading for school, but it's brilliant none the less. I seem to remember that you enjoyed The Messenger, so you may have already read it, but if you haven't, you really should. Although you certianly have more than enough books to read already :)
Contragulations on becoming a vegetarian! And your hair looks great!
oh, rosianna i love that you make me think about things i should be thinking of! good lucky with being a vegetarian. it is hard, i used to be a pollotarian. lol.
I think you just need to buy your meats from where you know that treats their livestock with great respect and kindness. Because the meat industry is in a pretty dire state at the moment especially the meat that we import from other european countries. Where they use farming methods banned in the UK but we import the meat into our country. And NO MOER BLONDE HURR :(((. Boo. Watch out for people throwing piss in cups at the killers if its warm have a shoulder available to cry on.
It does feel great to finish exams, as I have just finally finished my GCSE's! Yeah, I'm a vegetarian and there is so much food that can distract you from meat! I don't have any cravings for meat, whatsoever any more.
Oh, and I'm currently reading: Stephen Fry's Moab Is My Washpot (outstanding), Bill Bryson's Notes From a Small Island (hilarious), Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope (compelling; though I've already read Dreams from my Father, which I prefer), New Scientist's Do Polar Bears Get Lonely? (fascinating), Justin Webb's Have a Nice Day (wonderful), Boris Johnson's Have I Got Views for You (blusteringly brilliant) and I plan to read Matt Frei's Only In America. Phew. It's going to be a long summer...
I love Moab is My Washpot! I agree about Audacity, it's definitely more of a political manifesto than Dreams from my Father. Those other titles look fantastic though, I'll add them to my list.
IMO, vegetarianism is irrelevant within society. We are but another species which happens to consume meat, as many millions of other animals do to survive. Nothing unnatural or cruel about the process. What many people take issue with is the processing of creatures for eating. I eat organic meat, these are still animals which have been raised to be, well killed. But this isn't inhumane! Prey in the wild would be mauled to death by the predator, whereas we kill our food surgically and humanely.
Millions of other animals eat to survive because they don't have the faculties to do anything differently, but we as humans do. Just as many animals rape and cannibalize, does not mean we as moral agents should do the same thing. Organic meat in no way stipulates humane treatment. Organic simply means the animal was not given hormones, but many of the same cruel practices, such as confinement and cutting off of genitals, beaks, and tails, still occur. Eating meat is for pleasure, not need.
The Killers, sweet. Kind of drifted apart from them after there second album. Got into other stuff. Shame, good albums, and I'm doing my bit for Iran as well. Maybe not the green overlay, but I have change my location of Twitter and the timezone to Tehran =]
I should first watch videos before I tweet =p anyway I think this vegetarian thing is really awesome, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it, but on the other hand, I've never tried, so maybe I should, I don't know. I do care, and I do know how bad it all is, but I'm not really a vegetable person, so that could be a problem...
I'm just wondering, changing your twitter to 'Tehran', will they not just suspend you?
Think of it like this: what's more important, your preference for food, or the torturous lives of the animals? (and the health and environmental problems of eating meat.) Besides, there's vegetarian alternatives for every food you can imagine, from spicy black bean burgers, to veggie riblets, to soy ice cream. I am a terrible cook but I love being vegan!
Congratulations on the switch to a vegetarian diet! Just remember that chickens have their throats slit while they're still conscious, are often boiled alive, and live in tiny, cramped, dark cages. Cows are burned (branded), given hormones that make their udders swell painfully, and their young are taken from them just hours after birth to be veal calves who aren't allowed to move. And that's just the egg and dairy industries! :(
Seeing as how I've seen these practices with my own eyes in dozens of undercover investigations, no. To be fair, the UK might not be as bad the US, but my understanding is that industrialized farming occurs in the UK as well.
Congratulations on becoming a vegetarian! It's not as hard as you think it is. *that's a lie, at times it is but I'm trying to do a terrible job at being supportive* I've been one for 2 years now and I love it! Please keep us updated on your progress. I'll be rooting for you!
I really like your hair brown, Rosi. It looks very classy.
Oh Agatha Christie! I want to read those. I've heard wonderful things. I'm rereading Harry Potter (again) right now, and then i'm starting this book called Enrique's Journey which is about a young boy who is trying to immigrate to the US from Mexico.
you're becoming vegetarian!? congratulations! seriously that's so great! i've been veggie for about 6 months now, and it's amazing. your body just feels so much healthier.
if you don't mind me recommending another book to you, The China Study by T. Colin Campbell PhD has amazing info about vegan/vegetarian diets vs. animal based diets. it's a fantastic read, and really eye opening.
I love Agatha Christie. And you get to see The Killers? That's so awesome. Have fun!
I have so many books on my list to read over the summer, and my summer job is making it difficult! But hopefully I can get to them all before next semester starts at my university, when I have 4 English courses and will have absolutely no time for reading for pleasure. Happy reading.
do you actually read all these books at the same time? like you read part of one then a little later that day read part of another? i hate doing that. i have to finish one book before starting another.
I hadn't read any of her books before, so this summer is my Agatha Christie Marathon :~)
And after reading 5 of her novels, all of them involving Monsieur Poirot, I finally was able to crack one of the cases before she revealed the identity of the killer , this makes me so nerdy happy...
the brown hair is GORGEOUS. absolutely stunning. still haven't decided which i like better, though. they both look great. you definitely look older as a brunette!
Some do, some don't. I still do, but I might stop after I've been a vegetarian for a while. However, I know where we get our eggs from and it's a very humane farm.
I really enjoy your videos, you're spot on with the BNP especially. I make some similar points in a couple of videos I've uploaded about the BNP, I've posted one as a video response.
I too have just finished my A levels and the first thing I thought was 'I can finally read again'.
yay for vegetarianism!! i've been a vegetarian for 5 years ... i really wasn't planning on being one for so long, but it just happened. hamburgers don't even look appealing anymore - well, they never really did
you look so good with brown hair, ur beautifull!!!!!

Your new hair colour is a nice change; it makes you look sophisticated. I liked it blonde too though.
Anyway: it was good to hear you're receptive to alternative points of view. Jazza's video seemed more of a rant.
I hope your new diet includes everything you need to stay healthy -- don't feel guilty about eating what is good for you. I reckon they (TPTB) would like to make everyone feel guilty for breathing these days!

Will you still eat eggs and cheese? just wondering. Good luck with your new lifestyle.

I will, but I might stop eggs after a while, unsure.
missxrojas 2 years ago
Make sure you read up on mixing incomplete proteins prior to abstaining from eggs.
AND If you are ever in the DFW area (Dallas, TX), check out the Kalachandji's. The food is great, and the atmosphere is amazing.

I know it's not strictly veggie, but Ali Baba has plenty of awesome vegetarian options. I will have to check out Kalachandji's

I found 3-4 references to Ali Baba's in the DFW area (using google maps). Is it a chain? Can you recommend a specific one (i.e. address)?
FYI The menu for Kalachandji's changes daily, so you may want to check their website to see what their menu is for that day.

I love Agatha Christie so much. I'm more of a Poirot fan than Miss Marple though. I need to get my library membership re-instated since the libraries at uni will be closed over the winter break. Also mum just got a couple of boxes of books down from the roof (we have nowhere else to put them)
I agree that not enough political discussion happens, I got into a bit of an argument with someone in the comments of the BNP video.

Johnjy2 2 years ago
I think you just need to buy your meats from where you know that treats their livestock with great respect and kindness. Because the meat industry is in a pretty dire state at the moment especially the meat that we import from other european countries. Where they use farming methods banned in the UK but we import the meat into our country. And NO MOER BLONDE HURR :(((. Boo. Watch out for people throwing piss in cups at the killers if its warm have a shoulder available to cry on.

Oh, and I'm currently reading: Stephen Fry's Moab Is My Washpot (outstanding), Bill Bryson's Notes From a Small Island (hilarious), Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope (compelling; though I've already read Dreams from my Father, which I prefer), New Scientist's Do Polar Bears Get Lonely? (fascinating), Justin Webb's Have a Nice Day (wonderful), Boris Johnson's Have I Got Views for You (blusteringly brilliant) and I plan to read Matt Frei's Only In America. Phew. It's going to be a long summer...
Elrich89 2 years ago
I love Moab is My Washpot! I agree about Audacity, it's definitely more of a political manifesto than Dreams from my Father. Those other titles look fantastic though, I'll add them to my list.
missxrojas 2 years ago
Careful now! I think have more than enough books on your list for now - if you add any more, your eyes may explode.
Elrich89 2 years ago
IMO, vegetarianism is irrelevant within society. We are but another species which happens to consume meat, as many millions of other animals do to survive. Nothing unnatural or cruel about the process. What many people take issue with is the processing of creatures for eating. I eat organic meat, these are still animals which have been raised to be, well killed. But this isn't inhumane! Prey in the wild would be mauled to death by the predator, whereas we kill our food surgically and humanely.
Elrich89 2 years ago
Millions of other animals eat to survive because they don't have the faculties to do anything differently, but we as humans do. Just as many animals rape and cannibalize, does not mean we as moral agents should do the same thing. Organic meat in no way stipulates humane treatment. Organic simply means the animal was not given hormones, but many of the same cruel practices, such as confinement and cutting off of genitals, beaks, and tails, still occur. Eating meat is for pleasure, not need.

I should first watch videos before I tweet =p anyway I think this vegetarian thing is really awesome, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it, but on the other hand, I've never tried, so maybe I should, I don't know. I do care, and I do know how bad it all is, but I'm not really a vegetable person, so that could be a problem...
I'm just wondering, changing your twitter to 'Tehran', will they not just suspend you?
nenalyzed 2 years ago
Think of it like this: what's more important, your preference for food, or the torturous lives of the animals? (and the health and environmental problems of eating meat.) Besides, there's vegetarian alternatives for every food you can imagine, from spicy black bean burgers, to veggie riblets, to soy ice cream. I am a terrible cook but I love being vegan!

Congratulations on the switch to a vegetarian diet! Just remember that chickens have their throats slit while they're still conscious, are often boiled alive, and live in tiny, cramped, dark cages. Cows are burned (branded), given hormones that make their udders swell painfully, and their young are taken from them just hours after birth to be veal calves who aren't allowed to move. And that's just the egg and dairy industries! :(

Seeing as how I've seen these practices with my own eyes in dozens of undercover investigations, no. To be fair, the UK might not be as bad the US, but my understanding is that industrialized farming occurs in the UK as well.

i've got AEA RS on Tuesday..
this has had two effects.
1: i've become really lazy because it's not my A-levels
2: i haven't done all the stuff that i'm putting off because i'm 'busy revising for the AEA'.
which means going out and not revising for the AEA. but not doing anything worthwhile either!
oh well. i'll just have to wait for tuesday....
also, is infinite jest that difficult? if so, i might give it a go myself, i've always been up for a challenge.
