Mickey Z. on Food Justice, GMOs, & the Vegan Option
"let's recap: almost all "food" is genetically modified. most of it is fed to the 53 billion doomed land animals that are eating up 1/3 of the planet's land surface in an industry that is the #1 source of human created greenhouse gases. so, needless to say, veganism and animal rights is a little bit more than tofu recipes … it's more even than barbarism like veal crates, vivisection, battery cages, slaughter houses, whaling ships, carriage horses, dog fight rings, fur farms, zoos, circuses and rodeos. it directly or indirectly connects to corporate welfare, overfishing, species extinction, the healthcare crisis, habitat loss, immigration issues, workplace justice, deforestation, climate change and gmos.
most of all … going vegan is more than just occupying a boycott, changing your diet, or making a new lifestyle choice. it's the surrendering of a privilege, the privilege is called "specisism." and anytime you voluntarily surrender a privilege, it is an act of revolution … you're aiming for total liberation, recognizing that animals are not property, they are not products, and they are not commodities."

Why Vegan? part two - for the earth
When people talk about food, it’s called “having a conversation.” Unless you’re vegan ... then you may be accused of promoting a cult, or labelled “radical” or “holier-than-thou.” But don’t let that curb your enthusiasm … you’re in good company!
Vegetarianism is harmless enough, though it is apt to fill a man [sic] with wind and self-righteousness. ~ Robert Hutchison, to the British Medical Association, 1930
In March I offered evidence to prove that a plant-based lifestyle is a much healthier option for each human’s health. This month I want to explain how being vegan is the best option for the planet, offering solutions to the global hunger and climate crises.

Why Vegan? part one - for human health
The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people,” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.
—Neal D. Barnard, MD, President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
I was raised on a meat and potatoes diet, by WWII era
parents who knew how to stretch a dollar and waste-not-want-not. We ate meat daily: pot roast, liver and
onions, steak and kidney pies and puddings, the occasional sweetbreads (brains)
and tongues, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, traditional holiday turkeys and
hams. Preparing for rural Alberta
winters we stocked the freezer with cows and sheep and baby pigs from the
neighbouring Hutterites. We didn’t
indulge in junk food or sodapop, our “food” was always fresh, never processed,
and it was all considered very normal.
When we talked about it we were never accused of preaching, or trying to
convert anyone, it was just conversation.
At college, with
perpetual acne and with weight that fluctuated by 10 lbs (which I’d heard is
unhealthy), I began to question this tradition. I was studying (among other things) human health, and I was
active in the Green Future Club. We had organized a Rainforest Awareness Week
and one of our guests spoke about the benefits of a plant based diet.

From Idle No More to the Indigenous Nationhood Movement - from a child of white settler perspective
After
attending last night’s INM gathering last night (From Idle No More to the
Indigenous Nationhood Movement) I think I need a Children of White Settler
support group. It was intense. After only a couple of hours listening to
personal stories, the emotional rollercoaster that moved me from sadness and
guilt, to a sense of relief, and back again and all around left me exhausted.
I didn’t know
that a trench 30 ft wide and 80 ft deep known as the St. Lawrence Seaway was
built on top of Taiaiake Alfred’s family homes, forcing thousands of years of
ancestral history to suddenly take a radical turn. Taiaiake (a Kahnawake Mohawk
and Professor of Indigenous Governance at UVic) reminded us how important it is
to protect the wilderness now, before it’s too late.

Idle No More - it's for all of us
John A. MacDonald wrote, in 1870: “These impulsive half-breeds … must be kept down by a strong hand until they are swamped by the influx of settlers.”
I did not ask to be born into this colonialist mess. I’m not of First Nations heritage but I’m here - a first generation Canadian with a strong love for the earth, doing what I can to live gently, with compassion and understanding.
