In the 1960s when cigarettes first started putting warning lables on their packaging, nobody really paid attetion. And now, after decades of data, educational programs, and TRUTH commercials I am still begging my boyfriend to quit smoking. What the hell? What gives?

Sharon Stone wears a gap turtleneck to the Oscars and they fly off the shelves. But we can’t get people to understand that smoking CAUSES cancer? Really?

Either way, the media has been really jumping on the vegetarian/vegan bandwagon with more and more coverage of the negative health effects of eating meat and dairy. But for some reason, my friend posted the same article to her Twitter feed with “I don’t buy it. I’m still gonna eat my weekly red meat.”  Alright. While I understand that this information is just reaching “news” status, why are people still skeptical of its truth?  I didn’t realize that being a carnivour was akin to being a Christian.  Stop clinging to your fried chicken and steak and think about what you’re putting in your body, and how it’s affecting our world.

Thank goodness I’m moving to Brooklyn, where you can’t walk a block without a vegan restaurant.

Peace, love and veganism,

Natalie Marie.
