Veggie Chips

Posted on December 18th, 2005 in Cooking Diva ~ Vegan, Personal by Vegan Momma

I used the leftover juicing pulp and made veggie chips early this morning. I added pureed beans and spices. If I could tape the smell and upload it onto my blog I would do that! Mmm they smell delicious!

I will be adding pictures to this post.

So what is thumping?

A pigs natural life expectancy is about 15 years. Did you know most pigs are killed at the age of 6 months? They are farm animals remember! Their death are not pleasant.

From Gary’s website.

The following is a description by factory farm workers of the standard hog factory practice of “thumping,” in which workers pick up pigs by their hind legs, whirl them over their shoulders, and bash them headfirst into the concrete floor.

I have seen a video about this a few years ago. It’s amazing how some people can abuse another being without (seemingly) a thought to the suffering involved. In this video they are called ‘fall behinds’ the ones that are thrown to the floor. Pig video

Realizing I have needed less sleep over the past few days. I contribute it to what I have been juicing. I was in bed at 9:oo and up around 12:30 and no I was not tired! :-) I have accomplished a lot in the wee hours of the morning. I did not get to make soap yesterday, bah humbug! If I am awake early this morning Iwill get that out of the way.

OCB has a seminar coming up in Maryland for Figure Competition. It is going to be in January. The location is still to be determined. I have heard a lot that will be discussed talking with friends, and competitors in the gym but I believe it will be fabulous to go to this event.
