Well, I guess I really became peskitarian. I eat fish, not meat thats a peskitarian!

Wanna know why?

*Don't watch the video it's to painful*

I will explain the process below:

With a hidden camera, animals were filmed being

SKINNED ALIVE!!! They say it's done to get a more

perfect ''cut''. Afterwards the carcasses are tossed into a pile, still alive, and

for up to 10 minutes you can see their hearts still

beating, in agony, their eyes still blinking, and the puppies little

paws still shaking.

There was one pup, that still lifted his head and

gazed at the camera with bloodied eyes .

Now, Mind you, At first I didn't know what was going on, so I looked more into it. Or,I guess my mom did. Terrible...So sad....Terrible. Well, If anything I am telling you makes you want to become a Vegiatarian and your family's not, (hopefully this will make your family become one too) Here are some recipes for Vegetarians! (Still wanna look into meat process? heres some more links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylQxMXpG__w&feature=fvst, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l4iCxyuNJI&playnext=1&list=PL7E0ECD085085B065)

Vegetarian Recipe you may want to try out:

*Brazilian Black Bean Soup:*
Begin soaking beans atleast 4 hours before assembling. One hour to prepare (not including bean-cooking time)
2 cups dry black beans 3 1/2 cups of water or stock 2 tsp. salt

A B
1 cup of chopped onion 2 oranges; peeled, sectioned, seeded.
3 cloves crushed garlic 1/2 cup of orange juice
1 large, chopped carrot 1 tbs. dry sherry
1 stalk chopped celery 1/4 tsp. black pepper
(optional: 1 cup chopped green pepper) 1/4 tsp. red pepper
1 tsp. ground coriander 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
(2 tbs. oil, approx.)

1. Rinse the beans. Cover them with water, and let them soak several hours. Pour off excess water. place in saucepan with 3 1/2 cups water or stock and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer 1 1/2 hours over very low heat.

2. Saute group A, beginning with onions and garlic. If necessary, add a little water to the vegetables to steam them along. When everything seems just as it should be, add saute to the beans. Let the soup continue to simmer over lowest possible heat.

3. Add group B to the soup. Give it a stir, cover, and sit down for 10 minutes. Now, Return to the soup, refreshed, Look at it and ask yourself if this soup suits you. Is it too thick? Add water. Do you want it thicker, heartier? You can puree some or all of it in the blender. You can make it hotter with more red pepper.

*Served topped with sour cream or yogurt*

Enjoy! (I hope these instructions were easy-ish to follow!)
