“I saw the cop lift up the baby. When I look at the photos, I cry. The baby was screaming.”

Freelance photographer Bill Hoenk was on hand to document the chaos following the second explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. His photograph of a Boston police officer carrying a wounded child is the cover image of TIME’s digital edition, a special report on the tragedy in Boston.

After all of this is over, all that will have really mattered is how we treated each other. If we can live healthy lives without harming and killing animals, why wouldn’t we? To stop exploiting and killing animals when it is no longer necessary to our survival is part of our moral evolution.

Hi Harrison. I miss you.

PETITION: *** MURDER DOES NOT BRING LUCK ***

http://www.change.org/petitions/mr-truong-tan-sang-president-of-vietnam-stop-the-brutal-pig-festival-at-nem-thuong-village

~ Petition by: Occupy for Animals

This petition has been started by Occupy for Animals on February 3, 2013.

Every year, at a village near Hanoi, on the 6th day of the lunar new year,
which this year is February 15, 2013 a pig is brutally chopped into two so that people can smear banknotes with its blood in the belief that it would bring luck.

The festival is known as the most brutal in the country and is condemned by many, including some who called on the government to stop the festival.

For more information, please visit: http://www.occupyforanimals.org/the-brutal-festival-at-nem-thuong-village-vietnam.html

Occupy for Animals had written and forwarded the signatures collected via our first petition (http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/ban-the-brutal-festival-at-nem-thuong-village-vietnam.html) to the president of Vietnam already three times, but received no response so that we must assume that the “festival” will be celebrated again this year.

By signing this petition, the message that you can read below and which is addressed to the president of Vietnam will be sent instantly to several Vietnamese embassies.

Thank you, in advance, for your signature and for asking your friends and family to sign this petition, too.

10 Health Benefits of Avocados:

Prostate Cancer Prevention - Avocados have been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer.

Oral Cancer Defense - Research has shown that certain compounds in avocados are able to seek out pre-cancerous and cancerous oral cancer cells and destroy them without harming healthy

Breast Cancer Protection - Avocado, like olive oil, is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to prevent breast cancer in numerous studies.

Eye Health - Avocados have more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein protects against macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases.

Lower Cholesterol - Avocados are high in beta-sitosterol, a compound that has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. In one study, 45 volunteers experienced an average drop in cholesterol of 17% after eating avocados for only one week.

Heart Health - One cup of avocado has 23% of the recommended daily value of folate. Studies show that people who eat diets rich in folate have a much lower incidence of heart disease than those who don’t. The vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and glutathione in avocado are also great for your heart.

Stroke Prevention - The high levels of folate in avocado are also protective against strokes. People who eat diets rich in folate have a much lower risk of stroke than those who don’t

Better Nutrient Absorption - Research has found that certain nutrients are absorbed better when eaten with avocado. In one study, when participants ate a salad containing avocados, they absorbed five times the amount of carotenoids (a group of nutrients that includes lycopene and beta carotene) than those who didn’t include avocados.

Glutathione Source - Avocados are an excellent source of glutathione, an important antioxidant that researchers say is important in preventing aging, cancer, and heart disease.

Vitamin E Powerhouse - Avocados are the best fruit source of vitamin E, an essential vitamin that protects against many diseases and helps maintains overall health

avianawareness:

WHAT’S IN THE MCRIB?
It is made from a less than appetizing combination of tripe (stomach lining), heart, and scalded stomach, which is then mixed with salt and water to extract proteins from the muscle. The proteins bind all the pork trimmings together so that it can be re-molded into any specific shape. In this case, a fake slab of ribs.

The entire McRib sandwich contains about 70 ingredients, including azodicarbonamide, which is a flour-bleaching agent often used in the production of foamed plastics such as yoga mats.

The entire sandwich is about 500 calories, 26 grams of fat, 44 grams of carbs, and 980 milligrams of sodium.
