I realize that you are or maybe have been in the past a vegan. But would you consider featuring some of the leading agriculture websites, Agriculture Advocates is a great one. I realize that everyone has the right to choose what food they will and will not consume, the problem I fear is that some of these animal rights groups are not telling the entire truth. I think it is really good to hear both sides of the story. Especially, from the mouths of the people that are raising these animals on their farms and ranchers. I am a farmer and my animals' health and well being is my number one priority follwed by providing your family with a nutritious and safe meal everyday.

Hey Elisa,

Since I wrote that post I discovered that my local magazine store, Issues ( http://www.issuesshop.com/ ), carries VegNews ( http://www.vegnews.com/web/home.do ).  I decided that I'd support them by buying the newest VegNews from them every couple months.  I *love* it.

If you ever want company going over there for lunch, I'd love to go!

But I love VegNews Magazine. It's one of only three magazines I subscribe to anymore...Entertainment Weekly, Good and VegNews. [I used to subscribe to TONS.]

It's so good I keep them. And it's so good that even the ads are useful and relevant to me!

And I know some gals there, and keep meaning to go join them for their daily vegan lunch they trade off cooking for one another at their San Francisco office...but I loved the magazine way before I got to meet them last year.

I'm glad you shared the link to your blog.  It seems like a good resource for vegans.  What do you think of VegNews ( http://www.vegnews.com/web/home.do )?  I'm trying to decide whether or not to subscribe.

First of all, I love Steph at Change.org! She's fabulous!! Second..great list of AR organizations..and I totally get where cluelesscrafter is coming from. Even though I've been vegan for almost 4 years now, just watching someone else prep a chicken or steak makes my heart ache for the life that was lost and the torture it had to endure in order to finally find peace in death. It not only makes me sad for the animal in question, but the person as well..that they fail to feel the compassion towards the life that died for their taste buds.

Hi clueless crafter,

Wow.  That is an intense story.  I've heard many stories like that from people who become vegetarian. The worst was from a woman who as a girl had to eat the rabbit she had been playing with earlier at a family farm for dinner.

On the topic of animals and respect, I had to share this.  On Friday night, we decided to relax at home and roast a whole chicken for dinner.  I began the prep work without second thought, quickly unwrapping and washing it before its visit to the oven.  When I went to pat it dry, a wave of emotion washed over me.  I felt sad for its pain and even sadder by the way I was treating it.  Its skin was incredibly soft and its wings felt like the arms of an infant.  When I picked it up, it hung limp under its weight, completely plucked clean and heartlessly pricked with a built in thermometer.  

I sobbed.  Sobbed in respect and with profound sadness for its suffering.  My eyes opened.

Has anyone else experienced this connection?
