Super bummed that I follow/am followed by tons of lesbians, but I know none in real life.
I’m straight (mostly), but have come to realize that lesbians are the best kind of girls. They aren’t distracting by most of the shit other girls seem preoccupied with.
I’m not trying to stereotype, I’m just speaking from experience.

The Spanish "Stolen Baby" Scandal. Yes, this is a real thing that actually happened and a great example of when religions GETS WAY TO FUCKING OUT OF HAND»
“Sister Maria is accused taking a child from its mother and is suspected of being part of a ring that moved thousands of babies from what it saw as loose-moraled families to more desirable, more Catholic families”

People eat meat and think they will become as strong as an ox, forgetting that the ox eats grass.

I’ve gained a bunch of new followers in the past week so I updated my About Me page and copied it below. Hi everyone!
My name is Allyson above all my passion is food. I love eating it, cooking it, reading about it, you name it. I am a 22 year old runner, avid Darwinist and advocate for nutrition and health. I can be very opinionated but I encourage you to challenge me.
I live in CT but am moving to Illinois in the end of August. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular and Cell Biology last year and this summer I am currently finishing up my Masters Degree in Nutritional Sciences. I am going to U of Illinois to get my PhD in Nutrition starting in the fall.
My side interest is in the food industry and agriculture industry here in the U.S. To see my posts on the subject click here, and feel free to ask me questions. One of the reasons I started this blog was to share what I am reading and what I have learned about the food industry and how/why it is making us obese.
My blog is a mixture of personal posts, things I find humorous and nutrition/food industry related articles and rants. Enjoy!

The feeling when you’ve written (what you think is a) good post for the last half hour - that gets 1 note… and then you post a cheesy photo that gets 470!
All the time. I don’t even think I got one note on the post I spent an hour on a while back.

Many men who harass women say their intent is to compliment them, but why do they usually not “compliment” women who are accompanied by other men and often only do it when a woman is alone? Why do they tend to object to other men “complimenting” their female significant other (if applicable), female friends, or female family members? Why do some men grow hostile and violent when women do not thank them and act flattered? Why do they feel compelled to compliment women at all? Rarely are they expecting a date. Many times they do not even wait to see a woman’s reaction as they fly by in their car or as they turn to start harassing the next woman. They are doing it to exert their power, to entertain their friends, to relieve boredom, or to demonstrate that they can evaluate a complete stranger to her face, just because she is a woman.

Occupy the farm is one of a handful of efforts that can reenergize a food movement that has become satisfied with its own success. Supporters of the food movement have become content to “vote with our dollars” in favor of local and organic alternatives, for small farms and farmers markets. But for all the good they do, these vibrant alternatives have not confronted the system head on. No farmers market places limits on the power of corporate agribusiness. No community sponsored agriculture program interferes with industrial farming’s ability to exert its influence on the way that agriculture is governed. Alternatives build power, but they cannot seize power from the systems that currently hold it. Occupy the Farm represents a new way forward for the food movement, one that moves beyond support for alternatives to confront an important player in the industrial food system. It’s a chance to vote, not with our dollars, but with our voices, for the kind of agriculture we want to create and the kind of society we want to be.
