The Idiocy and Fallacy of The Paleo Diet Exposed: “The Paleo Diet Is Uncivilized (And Unhealthy and Untrue)”

This is perhaps the most coherent and cogent article I’ve ever read on just how stupid and illogical the Paleo Diet is.  Written by the famous (and overly respected) Dr. McDougall, and referencing actual medical studies and solid anthropological findings, it lays waste to the faddish diet that the newest idiots of today push.  You see mostly the CrossFit zealots religiously pushing it, and, where there are zealots, there are idiots following their every word.  I know a few of them near where I live. 

I’m going to let the article speak for itself.  I’m sure there are plenty of fools that will not read it, but for those of you who like the truth, and for those who need ammunition (the intelligent kind) against the slack jawed, robot followers of the zealots, this is for you.  Plus, it’s just plain interesting to see what very respected PhD anthropologists have found to prove what the real early human diet was.  Hint..it’s not what the CrossFit whacks proclaim.

Urban Decay Cosmetics Decides to Sell Out and Allow Animal Testing on it’s Products by Going Into Cruel China: Boycott and Tell Them What you Think

Come on my readers, let's step up on this one.

I’m hoping they read this.  See, they’ll say they’re not allowing animal testing, yet they are allowing their products to be sold in China, which means very likely (and they know this), they will be tested on animals.  

SO, THEY ARE OPENING THE DOOR TO ALLOWING ANIMAL TESTING ON THEIR PRODUCTS.  THEY’RE JUST LETTING SOMEONE ELSE DO THEIR DIRTY WORK!

Their very childish press release which can be read at http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-press-statement-animal-testing-and-china is so obviously focused on false logic and weird justification that they don’t realize it screams false rationalization so that they can make money.  They are in Newport Beach after all, and I’m sure they need to stay on top of the top and only think of themselves.

Just look at this paragraph and tell me if it doesn’t scream blindness in order for profit:

“For those of you unfamiliar with China’s policies, the sticking point is this: the Chinese government reserves the right to conduct animal testing with cosmetic products before the products are approved for use by Chinese citizens. The government has not told us if they have exercised this right with our products. So, our brand does not test on animals, but the Chinese government might conduct a one-time test using our products.”

That last sentence says it all you idiots!  You know that they likely will be tested on animals.

Oh, and here’s the one that really got me and proves how far they will go to rationalize their selfish decision.  

“But, we believe that change cannot and will not happen by outside pressure alone in a closed market. Change can only happen from within. When we enter the Chinese market, we will do our part to help make those changes.”

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!  Yeah right!  You’re going to change the cruel mindset of the cruelest people on earth.  

Ah ha. And I’ll wake up rich tomorrow!  Just read this article on just how cruel the Chinese are and get back to me on how you’ll change their evil mindset - 

Do us a favor Urban Decay…just be honest!  You want to make money in China.  You don’t care about anything else, and now you’ve joined the ranks of Tom’s of Maine who sold out to Clorox.

So readers, you know what to do.  

1. Boycott Urban Decay.  

And 2, let them know at http://www.urbandecay.com/corporate-office/office,default,pg.html

Oh, and 3!  Realize they are not the only game in town in terms of cosmetics.  You can find a whole list of companies that do not test on animals here: http://geari.org/companies-dont-test-on-animals.html

White Trash Tennessee Sicko Wacko Teens Preston Ray Odle, 18, and Levi Nash Evans, 19, Sadistically Torture Puppy for Four Hours: What You Can Do

If I ever meet these damn hillbillies and their parents, they will pay.

I haven’t heard of something this horrific for a while and I hope one day to come face-to-face with these trash.  Anyone who might want to take a trip, let me know.

The story gives a link to the police department (Dresden Police Department in Tenessee -  http://www.cityofdresden.com/policechief.html ) and the Police Chief - Chief Randal Walker.  Maybe it’s time to start calling to find out who in the court system we need to talk to to make sure these sick country bumpkins get their due.  Well, unless someone does the same to them, justice will not be served, but let’s at least try to get them some jail time.

The full story can be found here: http://news.petpardons.com/tennessee-teens-shock-community-with-brutal-torture-and-death-of-puppy/     I warn you that you won’t believe the sickness theses slimy backwoods hicks carried out. 

Here’s one act these slack-jawed devils did:  “At one point, the puppy’s mouth was wired shut, then it was choked with a wire and hung from a tree limb. Ultimately, the boys reported that they stabbed the puppy in the back with a knife. The puppy died from wounds sustained in the ordeal just hours after it was found.  It’s the worst case of animal abuse ever reported in Dresden.”

Even more telling is this paragraph that shows just how even Preston Ray Odle is.  Note that he lists Sick Michael Vick as one of his favorite athlete.  I bet Vick is very proud of him:  “Odle’s neighbors commented that they weren’t surprised about the charges. Odle is an avid hunter who lists his occupation on his Facebook profile as “Deer and duck hunting,” and posted an update on May 14 that said: “So I went possum woppin tonight, and kicked one right in the tail.” He also lists Michael Vick as one of his favorite athletes.”

So visit the article at http://news.petpardons.com/tennessee-teens-shock-community-with-brutal-torture-and-death-of-puppy/      and then the City of Dresden Police Department at http://www.cityofdresden.com/policechief.html and speak out.

Oh, and here are their Facebook accounts.  Let’s make them pay:

https://www.facebook.com/preston.odle - looks like the little scum took it down.  Keep trying though.

https://www.facebook.com/LnEvans88 - this country POS thinks he’s pretty cool.  Maybe we can set up a meeting.

Evil China Moves from Non-Human Animal Torture to Eating the Flesh of Dead Human Babies: Yep, Not Even Humans are Safe Around them

It’s common knowledge among those in law enforcement and child protection that those who abuse or kill non-human animals will soon move onto humans.  Well, this proves it even more.

The Chinese are the cruelest people on Earth and have forever abused and then eaten (or taken as medicine) all species.  Just view our recent posting on .

Well, this now proves that not even human life is safe from the callous, cruel mind of the Chinese, as I guess to them even their own species is fair game for their ignorant beliefs of what will make them stronger, etc.

Evil.  Pure evil.

Here are links to 3 stories that discuss this recent finding that the Chinese are eating the flesh of dead human babies:

Scott Jurek, the World’s Top Ultrarunner Talks About his Transformation to Veganism and how it Allowed him to Reach Greatness: Includes Recipes!

Here’s a positive story for the day!  Sometimes, among all the hell we read about comes a good story.

Ironically, it was an arrogant meat eater who told me about Scott Jurek.  Thankfully he did as I now add him to those I look up to.  An amazing vegan athlete whose success simply cannot be denied (well, I’m sure Fox would try).  Truly, this guy is amazing, and, as you’ll see in this excerpt, his greatness was fully realized ONCE he finally went full vegan (or plant based as he says).

Here is a little taken from the full article at http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-242-303--14320-F,00.html

“I spent the next two to three years testing the theory. In the spring of '97, I cut out meat. I won the Voyageur again. Then fish. I won the Voyageur a third time, and placed second in my first 100-miler, facing ultrarunning's top competitors. When I finally went vegan in 1999, I lost a layer of fat—the layer that came with eating the cookies and cakes and cheese pizza that so many omnivores and even vegetarians gulp down. I learned that I could eat more, enjoy it more (fruit tasted sweeter, vegetables crunchier and more flavorful), and still get leaner than I had ever been in my life. I started on more whole grains and legumes. Muscles I didn't even know I had popped out. My blood pressure and triglyceride levels dropped to all-time lows, my HDL, "good" cholesterol, shot up to an all-time high. I had virtually no joint inflammation, even after miles of pounding trails and roads, and on the rare occasion I sprained my ankle or fell and whacked my elbow or knee, the soreness left faster than it ever had before. I was running in the morning, working eight-to 10-hour days, then running 10 miles in the evening—yet I woke up with more energy every day.

Was it the food I was adding—the vitamins and minerals? Or was it what I wasn't eating, the concentrated carcinogens, excess protein, refined carbohydrates, trans fats? Was the sum of a plant-based diet greater than its parts? I wasn't sure of the answer, but I had never felt better. The Western States 100 was coming up. Could I compete? Could I win? If so, how many records could I claim with my newfound secret? I aimed to find out.”

Tell the U.S. Forest Service to Dismiss Sadist Josh Bransford on the Basis of Animal Cruelty: Tortures Trapped Wolf Before Bludgeoning

I’m going to run this story solo today as it’s very important

Please take a minute to do this.  To be honest, the Forest Service usually covers its own, but let’s try.   Here is a link to the petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/u-s-forest-service-dismiss-josh-bransford-on-the-basis-of-animal-cruelty

Though the photo you see on the petition says a lot, for those who need background on this horrible example of intentional (SADISTIC) animal cruelty by a Forest Service Employee (see, they don’t care about forest life) see our story - Sadist Who Is a Forest Service Employee Takes Photo ofHim Torturing and Killing a Wolf by a Road in Idaho: Speak Out

Sadist Who Is a Forest Service Employee Takes Photo of Him Torturing and Killing a Wolf by a Road in Idaho: Speak Out

This is just unbelievable. It’s one thing to be dumb enough to allow wolf trapping and killing to protect the meat industry (livestock), but a whole other one to ALLOW the torture of a trapped wolf that is helpless.

Here is the summary. But, you need to go to this link to attempt to get this sadist with the forest service some sort of punishment. I know he won’t, but at least speak out. Also, you can see the photo as proof: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/247/332/306/?z00m=20259312

“The wolf was shot multiple times by passersby and suffered in agony until the forest service official stopped by to finish him off. Then he posted a photo online of the spectacle. This cruelty alone deserves an investigation.

But taking a longer view -- wolves are supposed to be conserved like any other game species. But under the guise of protecting the interests of livestock and elk, anti-wolf elements are working to dramatically reduce the number of wolves in the Rockies.

It took years of hard work to reestablish wolves -- and thus restore balance to the Rockies' ecosystem. The species' delisting shouldn't open the doors for the cruel mistreatment and extermination of this important species.”

Go to this link to attempt to get this sadist with the forest service some sort of punishment. I know he won’t, but at least speak out. Also, you can see the photo as proof: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/247/332/306/?z00m=20259312

Canada Begins it’s Annual Baby Seal Slaughter: Baby Seals Have their Heads Bashed in by Soulless, Masochistic Sickos: What You Can Do to Speak Out

I was going to post a variety of stories today, as I’ve been buried with personal stuff and haven’t posted for a while, but instead, I’m making the annual Canadian Seal Slaughter the priority.

As you know, every year, evil Canadians get together and (I know it’s hard to believe) bash in the skulls of baby seals. “Canada's commercial seal "hunt" is the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world. This year, Canada will allow 270,000 harp seals to be killed.” - http://www.seashepherd.org/seals/

I do not push you to support any group in particular, but here are some that you can support to help out. I’ve also attached a petition. But, mostly, just don’t buy Canadian products until this unnecessary act of violence is stopped.

Resources

Perhaps the most trusted group dedicated to marine issues including Seals, Sea Shepherd. Here is their page dedicated to stopping the Canadian baby seal slaughter: http://www.seashepherd.org/seals/

If you don’t believe this is happening and need to see proof via photos and videos, visit this page: http://canadasshame.com/

Don’t believe this is occurring? Then have some guts and look at this:

ALERT: Avon, Mary Kay, and Estée Lauder Begin Testing on Animals Again: I Repeat – THEY NOW TEST ON ANIMALS. Why? Well Because of China, Of Course.

I’m going to let this one run today instead of posting others as well. Why? Can’t you see why? This is huge and very devastating news.

You know how many people will never read this story and will keep buying from these companies thinking they’re cruelty free? Quite a few. I hear from people all the time that these horrible companies ended animal testing. Well, yes, they did a while back, BUT, they have re started. So, please spread this horrible news and go back to boycotting Avon, Mary Kay, and Estée Lauder.

So why are they going back to cruel vivisection that is unnecessary? Well, the obvious – China, the cruelest country on Earth. They “…have been quietly paying for poisoning tests on animals at the behest of the Chinese government in order to market their products in China.”

And, as you know, China loves to torture animals. So, they don’t care. But what’s to note here is that Avon, Mary Kay, and Estée Lauder never really cared about animal welfare when they stopped before. It’s all about the market and selling the most products. So, obviously then, they want the cruel Chinese to use their products as there are so many of them. So, they’ve decided to screw any concerns of their customers who do not want to torture animals and instead bow down to the cruelest around.

Here is the link to the story. http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/02/avon-mary-kay-estee-lauder-resume-animal-testing/

BTW, we offer links to the Companies that Test on Animals List and the Companies that Do Not Test on Animals List. Get them and use them to know who not to spurt when shopping.

Evil Chinese Behind Massive Elephant Massacre in Cameroon: Poachers Kill More than 200: Once Again, their Selfish Ways Lead to Mass Cruelty

Sorry but I only had time to post this one story today.

I'll start with this quote from this very disturbing and sad story:

"TRAFFIC has said that the spike in poaching and illegal ivory trade in Africa was a direct consequence of China's investment drive into the continent."

And I'll add this:

"Citing a record number of large scale ivory seizures in 2011, TRAFFIC, a conservation group which tracks trends in wildlife trading, has warned of a surge in elephant poaching in Africa to meet Asian demand for tusks for use in jewelry and ornaments."

As we know, no species is safe when the Chinese are around. They not only love to eat everything that walks, including dogs and cats, they also think they are entitled to kill such majestic creatures like Elephants so that they can have jewelry. There is no end to their selfishness.

You can read the rest of the story here. http://news.yahoo.com/poachers-kill-200-elephants-cameroon-killing-spree-144439805.html

Brutal Chinese Continue Their Horrific Fur Trade: Dogs and Cats Also Tortured and Killed. Here’s Video Proof

Just another video that once again proves that the Chinese are the cruelest people on Earth. Take a look below for proof, as videos cannot lie.

*IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME THAT CATS AND DOGS ARE TORTURED BY THE HEARTLESS CHINESE, YOU’LL SEE PROOF THAT THEY ARE TOWARD THE END OF THE VIDEO. REMEMBER, THESE COULD BE THE DOGS AND CATS YOU GREW UP WITH.

And, keep this in mind: "There are no penalties for abusing animals on fur farms in China, which is the world's largest fur exporter, supplying more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States."

Reminder: Animal Testing by Mars Candy Company: Yep, Mars Tortures Animals Every Year: See the Video Proof

For more on this, visit MarsCandyKills.com. The video proof is below and here is the accompanying text:

“Got a sweet tooth? Think twice before picking up a Mars candy bar! You should know that candymaker Mars, Inc.—creator of M&M's, Snickers, Twix, Dove, Three Musketeers, Starburst, Skittles, and other candies—funds deadly animal tests, even though there are more reliable human studies and not one of the tests is required by law.

Mars is currently funding a deadly experiment on rats to determine the effects of chocolate ingredients on their blood vessels. Experimenters force-feed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose an artery, which is clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals are killed. Mars has also funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim in a pool of a water mixed with white paint. The mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later on. In yet another experiment supported by Mars, rats were fed cocoa and anesthetized with carbon dioxide so that their blood could be collected by injecting a needle directly into their hearts, which can lead to internal bleeding and other deadly complications.”
