Hearty Veggie Soup

This is my favorite soup recipe. My mom who is an omni loves this and makes me make it for her :3 Its really simple and can be done in about 20 minutes :)

So you will need!
  • 2 bags of frozen mixed veggies
  • 2 cans of dark kidney beans
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 cup of macaroni noodles
  • veggie base
  • garlic
So this recipe is kinda not too specific for the fact that I dont measure anything. I make this soup differently everytime. You can mix and match the ratios according to your preference :)

So basically you put all your veggies in a pot and fill it with water and cook it on medium to high heat for about 10-15 minutes. Add the garlic and veggie base til the soup tastes good to you :) while you wait on that to cook, boil your water for your pasta and then cook it til its just about done but not quite. Drain the pasta. Then add it to your soup and let cook for another 5 minutes or so :3

ENJOY!

Why You Shouldn't Consume Dairy Products

So first off let me say, I've been slacking on my posts because I've been enjoying my summer with friends before I leave for college.

So what exactly are dairy products?
Dairy products are defined as "milk and butter and cheese". Lolz I think this is kinda a shitty definition. What's up with the double and thing? XD Lolz anyway..

So what's the issue? (lol I use 'so' a lot :3)

  • Drinking milk is simply...stealing. So say your mom gets pregnant. YAY! IT'S A BOUNCING BABY BOY! (kill it...jk) So mommy is preggo. (Dumb slut) 9 months later the annoying fuck comes out. Mommy starts lactating to feed her alien. BUT WAIT! THAT MILKS NOT FOR THE BABY! ITS FOR AMERICA! They take the baby away. If it's a male, it's destiny is to be tied to a crate for months until 'ready' (this is when they kill your baby) . If it is a female, it will basically be a sex slave until it can no longer put out. It is so taboo for people to drink other human's milk. But it's completely normal for us to drink another species milk?

  • Random fact: Cows do NOT need to be "milked".
  • Another random fact: We are the only species on the planet that drinks milk as adults. Now that is fucking unnatural as fuck. If you drink milk...don't bitch about gay people.

  • From the book Skinny Bitch, "Researchers at Harvard, Yale, Penn State, and the National Institutes of Health have studied the effects of dairy  intake on our bones. Not one of these studies found dairy to be a deterrent to osteoporosis. On the contrary, a study funded by the National Dairy Council itself revealed that high protein content of dairy actually leaches calcium from the body. After looking at thirty-four published studies in sixteen different countries, researchers at Yale University found that the countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis--including the United States, Sweden, and finland--were those in which people consumed the most meat, milk, and other animal foods." C:

  • Dairy has been linked to acne, anemia, anxiety, arthritis, ADD, ADHD, fibromyalgia, headaches, heartburn, indegestion, irritable bowl syndrom, joint pain, osteoporosis, poor immune function, allergies, ear infections, colic, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, autism, Chron's disease, breast and prostate cancers, and ovarian cancer. And our fuckin government recommends this shit to us?!

  • So what about our doctors? Wouldn't they know? DOCTORS RECEIVE LESS THAN THREE HOURS OF NUTRITIONAL TRAINING IN MEDICAL SCHOOL! SO NO! THEY DON'T FUCKING KNOW!

  • Dairy products are filled with antibiotics, pesticides, steroids, and hormones. If you gave these directly to your child it would be considered child abuse. But apparently if you mix it in with something it's completely different -__-

  • Myth: Cows are milked by a cute little old farm man. Fact: THAT IS BULLSHIT! 95 percent of farms are factory farms. Cows are milked by machines. Metal clamps attached to their udders.Their udders become sore and infected and then the pus forms.

  • That's right C: There is pus in your milk.
  • You don't need milk to get calcium. Many grains and vegetables contain calcium :)
So basically dairy is disgusting and pointless. There are plenty of HEALTHY vegan options you shoud try :)

 

"I eat everything that nature voluntarily gives: fruits, vegetables, and the products of plants. But I ask you to spare me what animals are forced to surrender: meat, milk, and cheese. " ~Unknown author~
