Christmas is over! Mine was pretty good. I got some nice stuff like clothes and books etc. and also a duvet for my bed! I still don't have a cover for it so I can't use it yet but I'm still pretty pumped, they are so comfortable

I love tuna melts from diners! I don't eat tuna often and I am actually trying to eat mostly vegan. My reason is pretty simple, I don't trust anyone! Eating is what keeps us alive and if it is the only thing fueling/creating my body, then I would like it to be good things that I am consuming. I won't buy any food item that has weird ingredients in it (high fructose corn syrup, for example, or any preservatives aka chemicals), it freaks me out. Eating non-organic food freaks me out too because the amount of chemicals used on modern farms is overwhelming. I would really like to buy most of my food from local sources, cause it also freaks me out to have my food coming from some mystery location

thank you! reading up more about nutrition and such is definitely a goal for the new year, because everything I know is just bits and pieces from random sources and I'd like to have a better idea of what I should be eating/trying to avoid. Also organic vs. non-organic food is something I would like to look into because I only kind of understand it.

Organic food is cool because it is really good for the land. Part of the rules for becoming a certified organic farm is that you rotate your crops, which keeps the soil from getting ruined and losing all its nutrients. One reason that commercial farms have to use so many chemicals is because the plants aren't able to become strong from the earth, so without all the chemicals they would just die. It's really messed up!

whoops up there somewhere it was supposed to say "calcium is leeched from your body" not "calcium is from you body".

uhh i'm vegetarian. but i cheat, and eat shrimp and tuna and salmon etc seafood is too good not to eat.

mainly i started on a bet the summer after i graduated from high school. the bet was that i couldnt eat meat for a month, and i said f-that i'll do it for 2 months. so after the 2 months was up, i ate a juicy steak and got horribly sick and now i just cannot do the meatz. i had turkey on thanksgiving about 2 years ago and it didnt go so well either...bleh.

plus, heart problems run in my dad's side of the family so i do it for health reasons too. it gives me an excuse to cook and eat really well, so yay!

but yeah. tuna forever, i will never give it up.
