Not sure I could make my own soy milk. I don't much like milk with cat fur in
it. I have almost 40 cats here at any given time, mostly elderly or socially
or physically handicapped and I can't keep them off counters. My house was not
well organized due to a little mistake in planning. Actually big mistake in
planning when I moved in so I will, at some future date have to readjust and
then maybe cooking and cleaning will be a whole lot easier but right now I'm
concentrating on keeping my head above the financial waters. Hey I forgot about
the AETA that good ole G Dubya passed. Just talk against anything in the food
industry and you've had it. Fortunately, it hasn't been enforced under Pres.
Obama but Romney, should we have the misfortune of 4 years of him will be able
to fill the prisons with people who won't eat fried chicken. Sigh. Is this a
wonderful country or what! Incidentally I supported Kucinich when he made his
short run for
President. Angels from Heaven are rarely elected. He's a wonderful,
thoughtful, intelligent and logical man.
I actually think it's more humane, if someone is a good shot, to kill a deer
then what is done to the bovine population in factory farming but I don't feel
that we need to eat animals. We are omnivores and have a choice.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!

Tell me about being treated as a terrorist! It has become much better now, as
far as the general population goes, however, AETA, that’s another wonderful
thing…. (Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act of 2006, passed by only six members,
under GWB, and the only one who voted against it was Kucinich!) – which can
make any of us terrorists because of its broad range.
I agree…two cat helper who work here have become vegetarian, and one is well on
the way to being vegan. It was by example, and discussion.
However, whenever the debate on hunting comes up, and I have many, I am
immediately accused of eating meat and that it’s not any different than
venison..when they find out that I do not eat any meat, they start accusing me
of killing vegetables, that if that’s how I feel about killing, I shouldn’t
kill them either. It’s just a distraction, of course.
I am also asked what I eat, and believe me, we use a lot of beans of every
kind, we don’t suffer from boredom nor do we give up on delicious food - yes,
I cook a lot, and I love making up new dishes. I even started making my own
soy milk, which is easy and better without all the additives of store-bought.

When I first joined the animal welfare movement, I was and still am an animal
rights activist, vegan by ethics and choice. I was treated by some as if I
were a terrorist, barely tolerated by them, feared by others, ignored by still
others. Finally, one of the fearful people asked me what vegetarians eat. I
ask back what did she think they ate and she said, "Cabbage, carrots, lettuce,
you know, vegetables." I told her that she had probably mistaken us for
rabbits. Then I explained the bean protocol, the tofu and soy protocol to
her. She wrinkled her nose and said that this can't be healthy. I wrinkled my
nose right back at her and said that eating a dead animal isn't healthy
either. Some years later, I met her again. She asked after my cats, found
that I had as many as I originally had, then asked me if I were still a vegan.
I told her I was and she said the she wasn't yet a vegan but she was a
vegetarian because of all the horrid
things she had heard about how meat was raised and processed. I think that if
you are polite and courteous and patient with people and your belief is
rational, logical and legitimate, you can eventually educate most people to see
your way of thinking as acceptable and even worth trying especially if that
belief gets enough press coverage and publicity.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!
