skinny bitches

I had my acls course today, (which I passed.. woop woop.) then I went running outside, but made it like 3 miles out and my knee hurt so I had to walk back really slow.. and I got reaaaalllyy cold. I came home and layed in my bed with the hairdryer on and listened to my ipod for 15 minutes. Then I made this banana smoothie thingy. Delicious. Take some milk and like 4 bananas and I found some vanilla frozen yogurt- blue bunny. actually very good. Like it better than real ice cream. probably because so much extra crap is in it. Couple scoops of that, some cinnamon and I added some fiber with these fiber packets I stole from mom's clinic. I am however very gassy right now. I hope that stuff wasn't miralax. crap. These packets were just sitting there in this bag. I couldn't waste them. There are old people e verywhere constipated. I'm not going to sit back and watch these perfectly good fiberous non-thickening powder substances go to waste. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few hours. Then I ate a ginormous bowl of chicken soup that I made. ( I know, look at all this cooking i'm doing!) Then I went to target to buy a really large warm robe being i dont' heat my house past 58 degrees, it gets real chilly after you get out of the shower. If I would have just spent the money heating my house, I could have saved the money on the robe, but I'm an idiot that way. Anyways, back to what I ate today. i just ate a bunch of dark chocolate with mint. frickin delicious. I also ate some more chicken soup a while ago, and for lunch i had a hamburger from the cafeteria and work and I ate 2 apples and this yogurt smoothie thing. Then before that I ate some oatmeal. The reason I am telling you everything I ate is because I just read this book I bought from target that basically says all food that is beef pork chicken fish milk cheese yogurt or eggs is poison. Now I really dont' know what to do. When I saw the book in the store, it's called 'skinny bitch' by the way. It caught my eye as I was searching for something to read, being brainerd doesn't have a barnes and noble that I can sit in and read books for free in, I have to scrounge the shelves of target. PAthetic. Anyways, I read a couple of pages in it, and I read the back and it seemed like it would be a hilarious book. There are these two models that wrote the book, that must have been hypoglycemic when they wrote the book.... because it's ridiculous. But actually, I'm starting to buy into it. Well, now at least I am more aware of what actually goes on in slaughter houses. the book really isn't much about anything except eating slaughtered animals. The first like 15 pages say stuff like, don't drink soda, don't use artificial sweeteners, don't smoke, don't drink, don't use cocaine, don't eat chips, etc. then from then on they started talking about getting rid of meat from the diet. I don't really think meat is disgusting, or at least I didn't really think twice about it until I read this book. I had no idea of all of the antibiotics and steroids and poisons are in meat. If they even are. Maybe these people are on crack, which is entirely possible. I mean, they probably just payed a bunch of nerds to get all this research done, which they would have done. Because lets face it, if you're a model and ask some guy to do something for you, you can consider it done. After readign this book and looking back at my day of eating the only thing I ate that wasn't poison was the apples and oatmeal. Also water. That's it. And possibly the vegetables in the soup, but you know, they were contaminated by the chicken I had put in there.
Basically the book is about 200 pages, 15 pages of dietning advice, and the other 185 are about why you shouldn't eat meat eggs milk etc. Also how the USDA is a caniving horrible system that you can't trust because the people in it are there to get money, which they get by authorizing foods/ promoting them. Even if they are unhealthy. Here are some direct quotes, which are all really disturbing.

'udders, under normal conditions, would supply about ten pounds of milk a day. farmers have their cows producing up to a hundred gallons a day. there is no gentle farmer milking the cow with a bucket between his feet. Cows are milked by machine, metal clamps are attached to the cows' sensitive udders. The udders become sore and infected. pus forms. but the machines keep on milking, sucking the dead white blood cells into the milk. How freaking gross is that? to get rid of all the bacteria and other shit, milk must be pasteurized, but pasteurization destroys beneficials enzymes and makes calcium less available without even killing all the viruses or bacteria, hell, even radioactive particlles are found in milk!'

'stunned or not, cows and hogs are 'strung up' from the ceiling by a chain attatched to their leg(s). In theory, while they dangle there they are supp[osed to be unconscious. But often they are fully conscious, struggling, screaming and fearfully staring at the workers while they have their throats stabbed open. Next they travel along a bleed rail where they should bleed to death. But again, these large, frightened , struggling conscious animals are difficult targets and the 'stickers' (workers who cut their throats) dont' always get a good cut. before cows can bleed to death they are sent on their way to the 'head skinners' where the skin is sliced from their heads while they are still conscious. of course, this is excruciatingly painful, and the cows kick and struggle. To avoid getting injured by the strugglying animals, workers will sometimes sever the spinal cord with a knife blow to the back of the head. This paralyzes the animal below the neck so that the workers are safe. but the cow can still feel their skin being sliced away from their faces. Next their legs and head are shopped off, their entrails removed from their bodies, and then fimally they are split in half. '

'In the book slaughterhouse, gail einsitz, chief investigator for the humane farming association interviewed dozenns of slaughter house workers throughout the country. EVery singly one admitted to abusing animals or neglecting to report those who did. '

this is where it gets gross. There are all of these quotes from slaugherhouse workers.

'I seen them take those stunners, they're about as long as a yard stick-and shove it up the hog's ass...They do it with cows, too...and in their ears, their eyes, down their throat, They'll be squealing and they'll just shot it right down there.'

'If you have one ( a hog) that refuses to move you take a meathole and hook it into his bunghole (anus). You're dragging these hogs alive, and a lot of times the meat hook rips out of the bunghole. i've seen hams, thighs completely ripped open, intestines coming out. If the hog collapses at the beginning of the chute you shove the hook through their cheek, or in their mouth, or the roof of their mouth, and they're still alive.'

'pigs will come up and nuzzle you like a puppy. Two minutes later you have to kill them, beat them to death with a pipe.'


'sometimes I grab a hog by the ear and stick it right through the eye. I'm not just taking it's eye out, i'll go al the way up through the hilt, right up through the brain and wiggle the knife.'

'you go in hard, push hard, blow the windpipe, make it drown in it's own blood. split it's nose. A live hog would be running around in the pit, it would look up at me and i'd be sticking, id just cut it's eye out while it was sitting there, and the hog would just scream.'

'i've seen live animals shackled, hoisted, suck and skinned . too many to count. too many to remember. its' just a process that's continually there. i've seen shackled beef looking around before they've been stuck. I've seen hogs that are supposedly dead and gleeding get up after they've been stuck, then they are in the scalding tubs trying to swim.They hit the scalding tank and then start screaming and kicking. sometimes they thrash so much they kick water out of the tank. sooner or later they drown. There's a rotating arm that pushes them under, no chance for them to get out. I'm not sure if they burn to death before they drown, but it takes them a couple of minutes to stop thrashing. '

'i've drug cows till their bones start breaking ,while they were still alive. bringin them around the corner and they get stuck up in teh doorway, just pull them till their hide be ripped, till the blood just drip on the steel and concrete, breaking their legs, and the cow will be crying with it's tongue stuck out. They just pull him till his neck pop.

Then they talk about how all of these slaughter houses are in such crappy conditions and they animals have to all be on antibiotics so they won't die, and all the chemicals and crap they have to use to kill the viruses and other stuff that is living in the meat. There's also this other disgusting quote.

'accordign to the congressional testimony of one former perdue worker, the poultry plants are filthy. She said there were flies, rats and 5 inch long cockroaches covering the walls and floors. Believe it or not, it gets worse, "after they are hung, sometimes the chickens fall off into the drain that runs down the middle of the line. This is where roaches, intestines, diseased parts, fecal contamination and blood are washed down. Workers vomit in to the drain, emplyees are constantly chewing and spitting snuff and tobacco on the floor , sometimes they have to relieve themselves on the floor. The perdue supervisors told us to take the fallen chickens out of the drain and send them down the line.'A usda inspector said 'one time we shined a flashlight into a hole they were crawling in and out, and they were so thick it was like maggots, you couldn't even see the surface.'

another worker said, 'I personally have seen rotten met, you can tell by the odor. Thsi rotten meat is mixed with the fresh meat and is sold for baby food. we are asked to mix it with the fresh food, food and this is the way it is sold. you can see the worms inside the meat.

Then they talk about more depressing things. Like how pigs are much smarter than dogs and three year old humans. Then they talk about all the lawsuits and crap the usda has gotten out of, and how they are conspiring with the farmers to make money. (how do I know the skinny bitches aren't conspiring with the tofu and soy companies? they mention several VERy specific products in their book, and specifically say that Only this product of teh version of fake egg cheese omlet pork loaf is the best. ... ?) They Also let some more depressing knowledge out on how the animals are transported. No water or anything. Then when its' cold their skin sticks to the metal so when they are supposed to come out of the truck they pull the pig and their leg will just stick to the wall because the skin is frozen there, and usually half are dead by the time they get there. If it's hot half the pigs are dead and are rotting in the heat when they open the truck. The book is basically not at all about 'skinny bitches.' I thought it would be a funny book about like ridiculous things. Instead it was a horrible depressing vegan inspiring book. I was so very wrong.

Then I started thinking. not just animal products are contaminated. Everything is contaminated. Vegetables and fruits are not necessarily safe. People use maneur to grow their crops, and often e-coli is found in juice. There are factories and crap that release chemicals into the air and the rain clouds and all of those chemicals fall down in the rain that waters our crops. Animals pee and poop all over the ground that we grow our stuff in. The public water system is filled with antibiotics and other drugs. ( you know, from when nurses pour them down the sink. i don't do that. I throw it in the garbage. Especially if it's like a half a vicodin or something.) I know, don't tell anybody. I'm a bad nurse, but a good environmental friendly nurse. I remember one of my co-workers was trying to put a vicodin down the sink but it wouldn't fit because the sink had holes. I was just like.. umm.. why dont' you just throw that away..
This was her response. " you can't do that!! Someone could just come and eat it out of the garbage.'

Right.

I mean, if I was addicted to morphine, I would definitely go digging through the hospital garbage filled with poop diapers and blood and needles to try to find a vicodin, or possibly some IV morphine someone might have squirted into the garbage. i'll just have to lick ALL of the wet bags to find out which one is the morphine. People are idiots. The problem is not the meat. The problem is that america is filled with obese people who eat waaayy more food than they need to eat. If they didn't need to eat all of this meat and crap all the time, and we didnt' have mcdonalds's to serve them contamined slabs of steroid antibiotics on bread, farmers wouldnt' have to try to mass produce things and keep their animals in such crappy crap conditions. We should just not have farmers at all. Shit. Lets just tear everything down and eat berries and twigs. No body has any more jobs. Nobody watches tv. There is no more type two diabetes. In fact, type one diabetes and other genetic diseases that were fatal would probably just get eliminated. Just because of the simple reason that someone that is dead can't give their genetics to their child. So only genetically healthy people would re-create. then when they died it would be from something that would kill them. There woudl be no medicine and other stuff. We wouldn't be prolonging people's death's until they are 95 , on 35 medications to survive,and can't remember where their left hand is. When you think about it we ar e actually killing ourselves, destroying the earth, making more and more complicated diseases.
It's sad to think about all the crap in slaughterhouses, but it's hard to believe people care more about that than starvign people in africa. They would rather be 'skinny bitches' and buy designer clothing made from starving children in africa who's mother's have aids because their stinky ass crap worthless man whore fathers gave it to them. Now everyone in africa will have to die because the guys just can't keep it in their pants. Stupid assholes. Once again off the topic.
If these two models are so adamant about not eating meat, and feel so bad for these animals, and think that the antibiotics steroids and poisons are contaming society... why did they just write a book about it...? I hate that when people write books about things and do nothing to change it. Maybe they say they're changing things because they're creating awareness. Awareness does nothing. Sweet. I'm totally aware that animals are treated poorly. not only for eating but for testing stupid cosmetics. Once again, if we lived in the stone age, people wouldn't even know what make up was. I mean, shit, nobody would even know if they were ugly because there woudl be no mirrors. I don't know about any of you, I but I could have definitely been perfectly happy without ever looking in a mirror my whole life. Everyone would be so dirty that you couldn't see any faces anyways. With this long 'over one hour it took me to post this blog' I'm going to go to bed. it's not 1am and i planned on going to bed two hours ago. Stupid book. Stupid skinny bitches. why aren't I a dirty meat eating caveman?
