Corpse-munching peace prize givers wish all to hail corpse-munching Obama and his peaceful ways

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, who determines Nobel Peace Prize recipients, is comprised of corpse-munching political appointees. It should come as no surprise Barack Obama would be declared a man of peace joining the ranks of those who betray the very cause they fight for like Al Gore as they both talk a good game.

Talking and doing are very different things.

Absurd to realize the very same day Obama meets with his buddies to order up tens of thousands more---of other people's---young children into battle in Afghanistan, he is erroneously labeled a man of peace. Now he will have to put off his troop increases for his bogus war for a few more weeks so as to not seem too "war-like" in the eyes of the peace loving world.

Have no fear or concern that we are under the helm of a corpse-munching/war-mongering Obama.

We are the ones invading foreign lands and causing and heightening disruptions via murder and mayhem to topple others and stealing their resources and launching drone attacks murdering women and children.

Have no worries about children dying younger thanks to Obama’s do-nothing-approach to his National School Lunch Program.

All is great as we are led by a man of peace.

The prize has become an embarrassing sham and slap in the face to the very idea of its namesake. It just goes to show, vegans should not trust corpse-munchers, especially with important issues like life and death.

Let’s all celebrate the corpse-munching Norwegian Nobel Committee and all they hail as special beings worthy of our praise and reward them with gratis---at everyone’s expense---gourmet foie gras, veal, and baby pigs.

“All ancient philosophy was oriented toward the simplicity of life and taught a certain kind of modesty in one’s need. In light of this, the few philosophic vegetarians have done more for mankind than all new philosophers, and as long as philosophers do not take courage to seek out a totally changed way of life and to demonstrate it by their example, they are worth nothing.” Nietzsche

Local public schools blow-off state of Illinois' school codes

Illinois

(105 ILCS 5/27-12)
Sec. 27-12. Character education. Every public school teacher shall teach character education, which includes the teaching of respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, trustworthiness, and citizenship, in order to raise pupils’ honesty, kindness, justice, discipline, respect for others, and moral courage for the purpose of lessening crime and raising the standard of good character.
(Source: P.A. 94-187, eff. 7-12-05.)

(105 ILCS 5/27-13.1)
Sec. 27-13.1. In every public school there shall be instruction, study and discussion of current problems and needs in the conservation of natural resources, including but not limited to air pollution, water pollution, waste reduction and recycling, the effects of excessive use of pesticides, preservation of wilderness areas, forest management, protection of wildlife and humane care of domestic animals.
(Source: P.A. 86-229.)

(105 ILCS 5/27-14)
Sec. 27-14. Experiments upon animals.
No experiment upon any living animal for the purpose of demonstration in any study shall be made in any public school. No animal provided by, or killed in the presence of any pupil of a public school shall be used for dissection in such school, and in no case shall dogs or cats be killed for such purposes. Dissection of dead animals, or parts thereof, shall be confined to the classroom and shall not be practiced in the presence of any pupil not engaged in the study to be illustrated thereby.
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 31.)

(105 ILCS 5/27-15)
Sec. 27-15. Moral and humane education - In institute programs. The superintendent of each region and city shall include once each year moral and humane education in the program of the teachers’ institute which is held under his supervision.
(Source: P.A. 79-597.)

(105 ILCS 5/27-18)
Sec. 27-18. Arbor and bird day.
The Governor shall annually designate by official proclamation a day in the spring to be known as “Arbor and Bird Day,” to be observed throughout the State as a day for planting trees, shrubs and vines about public grounds, and as a day on which to hold appropriate exercises in the public schools and elsewhere tending to show the value of trees and birds and the necessity for their protection.
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 31.)

"For example, schools can incorporate nutrition education into numerous daily classroom activities such as math, health, geography and science, by developing lesson plans involving fruits and vegetables" http://www.isbe.net/news/2008/july10.htm

If these things were really being taught in our schools, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now.
Why is there such silence/action on these issues? Because you can not expect to tell children to be respectful of all things and then turn around 5 minutes later at lunch time and serve them chopped up-animals. Too, the system is in place and most food directors are closed-minded apathetic ignorant corpse-munchers themselves. Food service directors (usually uneducated cooks, yet to teach Home Economics, Foods, Health, Science, … one needs a degree) are really ambassadors/representatives of the school teaching the children what the school thinks they should eat. And that they should not care about animals. And that milk is good for you.

Fearful of losing respect/control, in that vegan students would have higher moral ground than their corpse-munching teachers, schools hide veganism from children. How embarrassing. And the poor decision making gets support at all levels including the schools' administrations who view the USDA's National School Lunch Program as a money maker. Often lunch sales/profits (from small schools who profit $100,000 to larger districts who crank in millions every year) do not get put back into the lunch program; but, are instead diverted to other line-items within their budgets - a source of income and something to take personal and protect at all costs.

It is really all about money - not about children. Children are next to last on the list, right before animals at the very bottom.

"Not only at Fox River Grove Middle School but also in thousands of schools across the country, corporate agribusiness has run amok in the attempt to utilize public education as a place to establish the naturalization of commercial meat and dairy as lifelong eating habits, to generate increased sales, to subsidize the food industry against decreased producer prices, as well as to funnel below-health standards food not fit for public sale. Warwak was correct to demand the riddance of the Dairy Council’s posters as they had in fact already been targeted for removal from approximately 105,000 public schools by the Federal Trade Commission." Richard Kahn PhD, University of North Dakota http://freire.mcgill.ca/files/kahn-epistemologiesofignorance.pdf

“I found it troubling and problematic that while Warwak was educating his students about the food that they eat and its effects on their health, the principal's main concern was not about the well-being of his students but that there would be a backlash against the school's lunch program” Aaron Finke

And lastly, superintendents and principals hide Humane Education from teachers, as do, state universities who are in charge of delivering truth in education when preparing future teachers. How embarrassing that Northern Illinois University neglects to embrace the state’s vision for our future by never mentioning Humane Education in their requisite course work for new teachers.

Violence, demons, corpse-munchers, poseurs, and bullies afraid of children and schools

Changing education is one path to peace

Humane Education reinforced with a vegan school lunch will create a generation that cares enough to save themselves and Earth. A corpse-muncher is born every eight seconds in the USA keeping a steady flow through our indoctrination centers – what most call schools. The real war should be with our local school boards, but most vegans are too afraid to approach schools and/or children for that matter; and some of these same fearful sorts who were raised on violence somehow muster-up enough gumption/audacity to post hate on the web in hopes of rallying others into violence---once again, too afraid to carry it out themselves---claiming nothing else works all the while avoiding the children.



Demonize corpse-munchers

Demonizing corpse-munchers (including friends, co-workers, and family) changes behaviors and just as smoking became undesirable, so too will corpse-munching. The demand for death will fall as attitudes change. I personally don’t have any corpse-munching friends – I just don’t trust them. The biggest targets to demonize are our leaders who pass corpse-munching legislation, especially Obama who knows all about veganism and chooses to talk and carry out corpse-munching E-coli.

Tell children about veganism

No one can stop anyone from telling the truth to those with open hearts and minds who are not yet fully brainwashed and who haven’t yet eaten several thousand animals. Think of all the lives that are spared when a child goes vegan. Don’t you wish someone told you about veganism when you were young?



Violence is not vegan

Small-minded poseurs that talk shit about violence - I say just go do it already---action speaks louder than words---and we'll read about the low-based thinker that only knows violence who blew-up a car or sent an anonymous death threat. It’s just more time-wasting childish embarrassing middle-school garbage behavior that only sets a bad example for the children. Violence flies in the face of veganism.

Some people were raised on violence and only know violence as an answer

Opening cages is way cool. Life matters to that animal for sure no matter what the law says. I have rescued animals here and there so I can write of such things.

Burning down buildings is not cool. Vandalism is a waste of valuable time that could be spent actually helping animals. Corpse-munching industries will only rebuild bigger, newer, faster killing machines with the insurance money and if they don’t, some other company will surely pick-up the slack and get a boost in sales. Until the demand is absent, there will always be those money hungry mother-fuckers (yes they mechanically child-rape Mrs. Cow to provide milk making them mother-fuckers) to capitalize at the expense, death, and misery of everyone. The machine is far too big/refined to stop in a violent way. Vandalism is violent and sets a terrible example for children. If we want violence to stop, we must make it stop with ourselves first. And yes, I was a vandal as a teen, so I speak from experience.

I am all for direct action and confrontation; however, I concentrate on the sources – actual corpse-munchers and their children, and yes, schools and our leaders. There is nothing more direct than confronting people everywhere I go, whether at work or play, I always speak veganism with corpse-munchers whether they want to hear it or not. Until we change attitudes, violence or threats of against businesses are pointless acts. There are more creative ways to get our point across to more effective/receptive targets and we have not even scraped the surface of vegan education for the children.

So to all those poseurs that write about how cool it is to set cars on fire and make anonymous death threats, I say, go do your thing, but in the end, we are only wasting time and the children are watching us hurt our cause – peace. We could use your help confronting school boards and alerting children to the dangers of animal products. Either you are too tough or too afraid to leave the children to stumble while you blow-up cars and threaten further violent acts.

Dear violent poseurs,
Would you stop doing something you believe in because someone threatened you with jail or violence? Certainly not. Then why on Earth would you expect anyone else to?
An associate


It is all about priorities. The animals are waiting while some choose to travel down that same old ugly violent road of hereditary ignorance that only begets more violence. That said, I can’t find too much fault with vegan abolitionists who promote violence as their hearts are in the right place and they are only doing what they have been taught; but, unfortunately, many of those minds are closed and even more are too busy to think of such things, let alone to create creative ways to educate children.

Murder is not vegan

Murder is not the answer. Murder should not be on our menus, especially when we have not exhausted all other options. Vegans are in the minority and we need more vegans to step-up and become activists. Along with increased numbers of vegan abolition activists, we need more creative vegan education taking place in schools and society at large.

The educated man looks for more creative solutions rather than opting for violence only to claim that nothing else works. What kind of message does this send to our children?

“Do as I say, not as I do” never works; while, children are excellent at imitating our behaviors. The hereditary ignorance passed to our children is in our hands.

My parents never hit me and I have a hard time advocating something I can not do myself. I will leave the promotion of violence to those who actually carry it out – otherwise, it's all just empty words and embarrassing stuff.

And as far as those who advocate violence without carrying any out themselves, well they are simply poseurs. I try my best to walk the walk with my activism/writing and therefore don’t feel I should be the one advocating violence. Yes, I did at one time, but I am a free thinking individual whose thoughts are always evolving and I was narrow in my view on this one. Don’t forget the children learn from what we do, not what we say and if we want violence to end, then we have to make it stop with ourselves first.

Who, how, what, where, when, and why should all be considerations when planning good activism. One example of good activism would be for vegans to go across the street from a school (where) armed with bullhorns and literature (how), alerting children (who) lining-up in the morning (when), that the food their school is serving is unhealthy and damaging to the planet and that animals are our friends – not food (what). Children have not been fully indoctrinated and many still have open minds and hearts (why). Video tape the activism and post it on You Tube. Now that would be good activism.

We need more people putting pressure on our leaders to address factory farming, the National School Lunch Program, and to adopt vegan diets themselves so they can live by example instead of just delivering empty words.

“All ancient philosophy was oriented toward the simplicity of life and taught a certain kind of modesty in one’s need. In light of this, the few philosophic vegetarians have done more for mankind than all new philosophers, and as long as philosophers do not take courage to seek out a totally changed way of life and to demonstrate it by their example, they are worth nothing.” Nietzsche

We need more vegan activists approaching and educating their local school boards and administrators to include Humane Education and vegan school lunches for the impressionable and trusting children.

More vegan teachers need to step forward and educate their fellow teachers and administrators.
Start a vegan blog (they are free – go to blogspot.com), teach some animal rights classes, write some books, make some vegan art, music, and movies, promote vegan abolition in personal interactions and at work, be honest with children and everyone you meet everywhere you go---as silence is complicity---and yes, promote peace.

Be the change you want to see and show us---not tell us---how to be better activists.

If we murder our fellow man, we sink to their level---proving vegansim is not the answer----setting a bad example for our children and perpetuating the hereditary ignorance, becoming the problem instead of the solution. “An eye for an eye just makes the whole world blind” Gandhi

Veggie Pride Parade post rally in Union Square Park, New York City May 17, 2009

Barack Obama knows the horrors of Factory Farming and chooses to do nothing about the National School Lunch Program.

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” Albert Einstein

"As soon as one sees the truth contained in vegetarism and continues to eat meat, he is no longer innocent and ignorant of his mistake. He is guilty of crime." "Shall We Eat Flesh?" Rational Living Library, B. Liber 1934



History cares not of pride, nor, conformists, only to a gasp at how primitive they must have been; whereas, we always remember those who are able to change with great reverence, for they put aside pride and refused to conform to evil.



We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common good, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish veganism for the United States of America

"Never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." Martin Luther King, Jr.

People say, “There goes that vegan, Warwak”

It’s cool. I want people to know that I am a vegan.

It is so strange to think corpse-munchers refer to us as vegans.

I mean, do we define ourselves by our diet or the job we keep … or lose?

[Slightly off topic: If so, how can Whole Foods’ owner, John Mackey claim to be vegan when he makes money off of the promotion and sale of happy-meat? Diet is not the only criteria in determining one’s veganhood or lack there of.]

Anyways, I thought how absurd it is defining others by their diet and then realized, I do it all the time. Whenever I go out into the world, all I see are corpse-munchers everywhere ruining everything.

“They think they accomplish much by living a life apart from the rest of their fellow-men, adopt an attitude of superiority and are satisfied with their capacity not to soil their bodies with corpses” Shall We Eat Flesh, Rational Living, 1934

Aug 13, 2009 042-2009, Sterling Pacific Meat Co. Ground Beef Products (E. coli O157:H7) Recalled - 3,516 pounds of ground-up corpses contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 were unleashed on May 18, 2009 (recall issued 3 months too late – most was eaten) and were distributed at the wholesale level to food service companies, who further distributed the product to restaurants in Calif. and Ariz.

Aug 5, 2009 041-2009, Beef Packers, Inc. Ground Beef Products (Salmonella) Recalled - 825,769 pounds of ground-up corpses diseased with salmonellosis were unleashed on various dates ranging from June 5, 2009 through June 23, 2009 (recall issued 2 months too late – most was eaten). The nasties were distributed to retail distribution centers in Arizona, California, Colorado and Utah. Because these products were repackaged into consumer-size packages and sold under different retail brand names, consumers were told to check (WTF? By who? When? No one told me shit. This information is very well hidden – I know, I had a hell of a time tracking this shit down) with their local retailer to determine whether they may have purchased any of the nasties. This particular strain of Salmonella Newport is resistant to many commonly prescribed drugs, which can increase the risk of hospitalization or possible treatment failure in infected individuals.

Jul 29, 2009 040-2009, Camacho's Foods Pork Skin Products (produced without inspection) Recalled - 1,450 pounds of pig skins were recalled because they were prepared without federal inspection. Yes, our tax dollars pay huge salaries to orchestrate the inspection (and production) of corpse-munching goodies. The ready-to-eat pig skins were unleashed from June 16, 2009, through July 29, 2009 (1 ½ months without inspection) and were repackaged for sale to consumers and distributed to retail stores in California.

Jul 1, 2009 037-2009, Traditions Pre-Packaged Meal Products (Salmonella) Traditions, a Pearl, Miss., death-house, is recalling an undetermined amount (WTF?) of various boxed pre-packaged meal kits. The boxes contain separate portions of instant nonfat dried milk, which was previously recalled (WTF?), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced. Due to potential Salmonella contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of the instant nonfat dried milk product on June 28, 2009. Although the nonfat dried milk product has already been recalled, as announced by FDA, the master boxes, which contain the various pre-packaged meal items, bear the USDA mark of inspection on the outside of the box. The instant nonfat dried milk products were packaged in the master shipping boxes on various dates ranging from January 28, 2008 to June 5, 2009 (Over 4 months worth). The final shipping containers bear the establishment number "EST. 18350" and/or "P-18350" within the USDA mark of inspection printed on the side of the box. The pre-packaged meals were distributed nationwide to various food distributors and regional nutrition service providers.

And let’s not forget the 143 million pound recall of Westland Hallmark’s Mad Cow goodies. That fiasco was issued in early 2008 recalling vCJD poison dating back to 2006 – most of which was already rammed down trusting children’s throats in the USDA’s school lunch/tumor feed disposal program before they knew what hit them. Recalls can come at anytime---some 2 years down the pipe---long after the poison has been ingested. These robbers-of-life desire only your money; all the while, hoping/wishing/praying that you will be too far gone before your cash-strapped weak sick dying ass has a chance in hell at figuring out what happened and who to chase down. What about the children? The National School Lunch Program is a dumping ground for garbage poisons that no one else in their right mind (unless too poor) would buy/eat.

E. coli O157:H7 is a deadly bacterium/shit/crap/poop that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections are life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly, and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. The most common manifestations of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache, nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days.

Corpse-munchers claim they are living life to its fullest. Nine times out of ten, whatever corpse-munchers say, the opposite is true. They are not based in reality.

“An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong” Russell Baker

And using up valuable space on Earth as a lying all-consuming corpse-muncher is one thing, but the truth is, if these blood-sucking robbers-of-life would just leave animals alone and we were all vegans, not only would we live longer and solve the Health Care Crisis, but we would never have to worry about: Strokes, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis, Kidney Stones, Colon Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Breast Cancer, Hypoglycemia, Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Peptic Ulcers, Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Hiatal Hernias, Diverticulosis, Obesity, Gallstones, Hypertension, Asthma, Salmonellosis, Trichinosis, Irritable Colon Syndrome, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (the human variant of Mad Cow Disease), Smallpox, Smithfield's Swine Flu Virus (Influenza), Tuberculosis, Malaria, Aids, Bubonic Plague, Measles, Cholera, Global Warming, Factory Farming's Cruelty and Pollution, Starvation/World Hunger, School Shootings, and War.

Anyways ... happy grilling

Barack Obama follows the Socialist Doctors’ dairy health care blueprint for America mapped out in 1934

The Socialist Doctor
VOLUME II. NUMBER 3 MAY, 1934

The Official Organ of the Socialist Medical Association

NESTLE'S MILK Richest in Cream [WTF?]

NUTRITION NEEDS PLANNING

By Dr. Leslie J. Harris (Nutritional Laboratory, Cambridge).

INTEREST in the subject of nutrition is at present almost universal, and opinion as to the needs of the community and the presence of under-nourishment among the working classes varies enormously. Nevertheless, there are certain facts which are indisputable and which demand free publicity. From these basic facts readers can be left safely to draw their own conclusions.

I am thinking primarily of those diseases, mainly “deficiency diseases,” for which modern medical science has now found the remedy- remedies of which there is no inherent shortage in nature, but of which man is nevertheless still kept deprived, solely because of the stupidity and ignorance of a society which fails to apply its knowledge, or to make proper use of its available resources.

It is useful to look back and see how much has been already accomplished, not in any spirit of self-satisfaction, but to give us confidence of how much is possible.

Again compare a picture of any group of elementary school children of thirty or forty years ago, and you cannot dispute the remarkable change for the better in the corresponding group of to-day. The year-by-year improvement in physique can be seen from the reports of the Ministry of Education. In 1927 the average five-year-old child was no less than four pounds heavier than the corresponding child in 1921, and half-an-inch taller. A good achievement for a short space of six years.

But now, if we accept the axiom that Governments are responsible for the welfare and health of their citizens, it seems to me that there can be no halfway house in the process of amelioration. The very first call on the administration must inevitably be the health of the individual; and we should no longer tolerate the position which we know to-day, in which the means of health, although known and recognized, are still beyond the means of many. How anomalous, by this criterion—not because of any lack of knowledge, but rather because of shortage of money! What an astounding sidelight on our civilization will this appear to our more enlightened descendants.

But I err in tending to see the mote only in my neighbor’s eye, and, after all, charity begins at home. When we consider what might be done, and what little has been done, have we in this country so much to be proud of? We know from large-scale and carefully-controlled clinical experiments carried out in orphan asylums and in other institutions, among elementary school children up and down the country, what wonderful improvements result in physique, health, and good spirits when extra milk is added to the child's diet. Yet how many school children in this country are able to receive the full amount of milk which modern science demonstrates to be desirable?

What seems much more to the point is the demonstrable and admitted fact that many working-class people have not available even the limited sum needed for this bare sustenance allowance, and that after paying rent only, and making no allowance for such elemental necessities as clothes and coal. I think attention might be concentrated on this essential point, rather than on the relatively small differences between the two bodies. It deserves to be pointed out, moreover, that the scales which have been put forward seem to be based on the rather unnatural assumption that the un¬employed person possesses so perfect a knowledge of dietetics and nutrition that he is to be able to choose his dietary constituents to the best (or meanest) possible physiological advantage (as well as in the cheapest market).

HOW ARE THE CHILDREN?

THE question of whether a child can be fed on a sum of 2s. or 3s. per week or not is one that can be considered from many angles. It may be discussed from the theoretical aspect by counting the cost of a diet giving an adequate caloric value. It may be considered from the statistics available for the cost as it works out in private homes and in institutions. It may also be discussed from the aspect of obvious results, from the effect on the health of children whose parents cannot have more than a bare minimum with which to provide food.

Further, the observer must necessarily be influenced by what he has come to regard in his own mind as the average, or rather the normal. If he has been working in a poor district for some time, he will quite naturally and unconsciously tend to accept lower standards of what constitutes the normal than an observer in a good-class community, such as a Medical Officer to a public school, where the majority of the children come from well-to-do homes.

Hence the points to be aimed at are the greater use and dissemination of such information on nutrition as already exists, the stimulation of further inquiries, and a much wider distribution of free milk and meals in a planned, directed, and purposive effort to direct is an upward trend towards the optimum for the greatest possible number.

SOCIALISM AND PUBLIC HEALTH
By Somerville Hastings, M.S., F.R.C.S. (Chairman of Hospitals and Medical Services Committee, L.C.C.)

During the last half-century there has been a steady and continuous improvement in our people's health and a corresponding reduction in mortality rates. It is a little doubtful, perhaps, how long this improvement will continue to be seen, for the privations necessitated by the world crisis and the economy campaign must have had an adverse effect on the national physique and resistance to disease. Still, we have this to our credit, that during the last half-century the expectation of life for the average citizen has been increased by some twelve to fifteen years. Now if we look round carefully for the causes of this decreased mortality, we shall find that it is due much more to diseases which we have prevented than to those that we have cured. By careful supervision of our water supply we have almost completely wiped out those terrible epidemics of typhoid fever that we had in the past; by instruction given in our maternity and child-welfare centers we have to a large extent disposed of those attacks of infantile diarrhea that used to be such a menace to child life; by notification, isolation, and disinfection we have been able to reduce both the incidence and mortality of infectious disease.

The history of Public Health legislation and administration in this country during the last fifty years is for the Socialist both inspiring and convincing. It is the story of how people who did not believe in Socialism and did not want it were compelled to adopt it to obtain not only efficiency, but any results at all, because private enterprise invariably let them down whenever they depended on it.

And people are beginning to ask why should not the principles that have served us so well in connection with preventive medicine be applied to clinical medicine also? If Socialism has been so effective in preventing disease, why should it not help us to cure it as well? And it is not only members of the Labor Party who are asking this.

How can we expect improved results in the treatment of disease when we adopt our present individualistic, disorganized, and utterly chaotic methods for dealing with it?

Minimum Adequate Allowance for Children

The diets were carefully scrutinized, and a selection made of these cards in which the diet appeared adequate without extravagance, rich in vitamins, and embodying at least one pint of milk per day. In this group the average cost per week was, for children one year and under, 4s. 9d. and for children from one to two years, 4s. 9¼ d. A small group of children, from two to three years, gave an average of 4s.11½d.

None of the mothers included anything for cooking, and they were not asked to include any sum for clothes, heating, &c. From reading the diets and analyzing the figures, one is prepared to state that a child cannot be given a diet adequate in every detail at a cost of less than 4s. 9d. per week. A nation which tries to rear its future citizens on less will find itself in later years populated by people who have never had a chance to build a strong, healthy, and disease-resisting bodies.

AMERICA NEEDS A NEW HEALTH SERVICE

WHILE contending forces are struggling for supremacy in the American business world, quite a large section of the community is taking a very active interest in the need for reorganizing the medical services of that country. A writer in the "Journal of the American Medical Association," early this year, stated that "at least 100,000 persons in the United States sorely need hospital care, but are not getting it. Why? The answer seems to be that only two-thirds of the beds are in use!" He adds, however, as a less satirical reason, that only 2-5ths per cent, of those attending hospital clinics are able to pay the fees.

For such reasons, meetings of the medical profession and of social workers generally, are being held everywhere to discuss what can be done, and the American Academy of Political and Social Science has passed a resolution that America needs "a socialized health service that is adequate, effective, easily available, and cheap, if not gratuitous."

It is an interesting point that the London correspondent of the "Journal of the American Medical Association" goes out of his way, week by week, to produce arguments, based on English experience, against the National Health Insurance Acts, and against the whole idea of a socialized medical service. He constantly reiterates that there is really no support for such a scheme in this country, shutting his eyes to such phenomena as the new L.C.C.

Nevertheless, American opinion is gradually being built up in favor of either an insurance system or a complete free service, and the director of the Milbank Research Fund has declared "that some insurance system should be developed—providing every type of medical service to every member of the family of people having incomes below an amount sufficient to guarantee medical service in every contingency." It is insisted that, while there should be a joint committee of lay people and doctors to deal with complaints, the professional service and personnel should be under professional control.

It is too early yet to say what the medical profession will say to this, but when the situation in America becomes clearer it may be that one of the results of the depression will be some form of State organization of the medical services of the American Continent.
M.O.H.

MOVEMENTS


A committee has also been meeting to discuss the cost of a State Medical Service, and an immense amount of detailed matter has been considered. This is a very big problem, and certain figures have proved difficult to get, but the work is progressing, and it is hoped that at an early date a report will be available.

The third committee has been formed to consider disease in relation to social and economic factors, and have begun on the subject of nutrition. Already the ground has been cleared, but it is obvious that a large number of problems are involved, and the committee proposes to tackle each by asking one of its members to prepare a paper on the subject.
ON-LOOKER.

MILK

MILLIONS of gallons of it! Yet we don't use nearly enough of it in this country. A lengthy report has just been issued dealing with the consumption in Scotland, and this confirms the backward position of the country as a whole. It is shown that the amount of milk was a little less than 0.5 pint per person per day. The consumption varied greatly in different districts, but even the highest did not reach the figure for the United States, which in 1926 was just over one pint per day. An increase in our daily consumption would not only mean a big improvement in the position of farmers, but, as numerous experiments and observations show, a big advance in the health of the nation.

This is only one of the problems offered by the milk question, and the Socialist movement, and the Socialist Medical Association in particular, will have to decide what it is going to do about the production, distribution, and control of milk in this country. The report quoted above mentions that it was found that in nearly all towns the largest proportion of the milk was handled by the co-operative societies. Are we to organize the milk supply through the already existing machinery of the Co-operative Movement or, as has been suggested in some quarters, through a new national and municipal organization?

More important, from the medical point of view, is the question of how milk should be produced to prevent its being, as it can and is, one of the worst of disease-carriers. Should pasteurization be made compulsory or should we go all out for a complete elimination of disease among milk cattle and their attendants? The latter would be a lengthy and. expensive business, and while tuberculosis can probably be got rid of, other conditions, such as Br. Abortus infection, are difficult of elimination, and there will always be some bacterial contamination of even the best milk. This is particularly the case with the milk supply of large towns, and in these cases, pasteurization seems to be the best method of ensuring safety. One thing must be insisted on, namely, that all milk sold should be subject to the closest bacteriological and chemical control.

The Abolitionist Approaches the Wrong Direction

Gary Francione: “Inasmuch as I maintain the necessity of revolution, let me make clear what I mean. I am absolutely and unequivocally opposed to any sort of violence directed toward humans or nonhuman. I am firmly committed to the principle of non-violence. The revolution I seek is one from the heart: I try to get people -- especially other men -- to question and reject violence”

Gary, like everyone else, is not 100% correct about everything. Some are more wrong than others. One of the things Gary is wrong about is nonviolence. Gary doesn't understand: Violence is the only thing some corpse-munchers understand. They just can't understand peace, love, compassion, logic, real science, ecology, humanity, or even common fucking sense for that matter. The subject is not even up for discussion. They don’t want to change and just toss your leaflets.

Grovel and shower the corpse-munchers with flowers until they cave for veggies is the cry of the friendly abolitionist. The corpse-munchers in charge of the Holocaust only understand violence – no matter how cool, beautiful, and loving we think we are.

Peace loving nonviolent vegans allow/enable violence to continue on a massive scale just because they don't "believe in" violence. No one is asking them to "believe in" anything. Only to realize, the hour is way late and we are not dealing with the open-minded or rational; but, we are denied by stunted children in adult bodies who have inherited the tools to prevent reason from taking away their toys. They need a good spanking.

We fight today so we can have peace tomorrow.

Note added September 1, 2009: Since the writing of this, my thoughts have evolved on the subject of violence. Gary actually has this one correct: http://veganschool101.blogspot.com/2009/08/murder-is-not-vegan.html

Barack Obama phoned me, Dave Warwak

BARACK OBAMA: I have heard a lot about you Mr. Warwak … can I call you Dave?

DAVE WARWAK: Sure.

BARACK OBAMA: Now in the interest of honesty, some of the things you have said about me and my family are well … disturbing to say the least. For instance, this business about me being the Antichrist. I mean, come on Dave, you’re a smart guy.

DAVE WARWAK: Well, I like to play Devil’s advocate, so I guess you could say, we are on the same side. But seriously, imagine if you are the Devil himself. Do you think you would know it? Maybe you would believe you do no wrong and are the most powerful man in the world because you are so cool. Maybe.

BARACK OBAMA: Wow, not sure how to take that.

DAVE WARWAK: Take it for what it is. When are you going vegan?

At which point our connection was lost and he never called me back. WTF?

I thought I was a bad-ass

Michael Vick says he’s been involved in dog fighting since the age of 8 years old and that "nobody ever told me it was wrong to fight dogs.”

I can personally identify with this because no one ever told me being a fishing guide was wrong. My dad taught me how to fish and I didn't come to my senses (because most vegans are so quiet/ineffective at getting the word out) until I was 43 years old. No one ever told me eating meat was wrong. I had to figure that out on my own as well. So Vick got his wakeup from society and I think it is great that society did its job for once. Now if only we could realize the continued mass-murder of 75 million of our friends for food everyday is far worse than what Vick did. Where are all these self-righteous vegans jumping on their co-workers' while they are eating our friends in plain sight 3 times a day? Where are all these self-righteous vegans when schools are feeding children murdered diseased animals and their cancerous nasties?

Don't ever complain about how fucking stupid and brainwashed corpse-munchers are, or about how impossible this whole thing is, if you are afraid to/don't tell the children about veganism now before they become the full and complete indoctrinated selfish ugly sorts that we fight with today.

Either lay off Vick or start treating every corpse-muncher the way they should be treated - like criminals (some ignorantly participate in crime; while, others knowingly commit crimes against humanity and have no intention of changing in this lifetime - treat accordingly), with the people in charge as the worst offenders brainwashing children in schools across the country.

If Vick wants my forgiveness, he must go vegan. Then we should embrace him in the movement as an activist. Don't forget, Howard Lyman was a rancher and Steve Hindi was a hunter and I was a fishing guide and we were all fucking corpse-munchers. Maybe what Vick did is worse on a different level, but, the important thing is, what is going on now – there are plenty of villains out there and if Vick wants to educate children about compassion, I say great … providing he goes vegan, otherwise he needs to shut the fuck up. And in the meantime, we should be concentrating on children, schools, Obama, and the corpse-munchers who are in our lives – not Vick if he goes vegan and helps children understand about compassion/veganism.

And you may argue, "but I doubt that fishing satisfied any kind of sadistic bloodlust"

In a way, it did. I didn’t realize it at the time. My warped mindset at the time, thought; the more the fish stuggled to stay alive, the better the fight, the better/healthier the meat was/tasted. The life and death struggle of an innocent being---with death the end game---so I could eat it would qualify as blood lust if you were to ask the fish. Mrs. Fish might deliver even a far more harsh evaluation, if we could understand her cries. I was so far removed from reality, I would fillet fish still alive. I am still ashamed. Anyways … my point is, I didn’t realize at the time, I was doing anything wrong because that is how I was raised. This just illustrates how important it is that we reach the children now as they are being fooled as we speak. Hunting and fishing and dog-fighting and ranching and corpse-munching are all being taught to children everywhere right now, so you can plan on not seeing a vegan world in our lifetime unless we opt to get honest with children and/or resort to violence.

A man is defined by what he does, more than what he has done … in life and death.

"The faults of the superior man are like the eclipses of the sun and moon. He has his faults, and all men see them; he changes again, and all men look up to him." Confucius

Shameful peace loving silent vegans, bullies, and future killing machines

I am all for violence instead of dragging animal liberation’s realization just to avoid violence. I mean nonviolence is cool … when it works ... when we have the time.

The chickens with their heads on chopping blocks can’t wait as long as our melting ice caps or our drowning polar bears or our peace loving nonviolent movement stall.

In the end, vegans allow violence to continue on a truly massive scale because they are afraid---or too principled---to use violence against those who rule the Holocaust. Logic is inconsequential when given the big picture’s gravity. It is our actions that speak our words. And if those timid bubbles can’t stand for friends who can’t stand for themselves, then life is worth only a morsel.

How shameful of vegans to ignore children while holding hands and singing “Joy to the World” with corpse-munchers who demand the murder of 75 million of our defenseless friends daily.

I know the vegan peace loving thought well, "Oh, we understand you are not ready yet ... maybe in one hundred years, we will have a vegan world. Take your time and raise your children how you choose. We won't tell the children the truth - at least until long after you have fully brainwashed their sorry asses. Your secret is safe with us no matter how many corpse-munching machines you crank out"

This is how it continues. And because peace loving vegans treat children as "off-limits," our soon-to-be-murdered friends need a violent revolution of animal liberation more than ever. If not now, when?

Barack Obama Objects to School Lunch Posters Mentioning Sasha and Malia and Corpse-munching

By Jake Tapper

On August 4, two White House lawyers contacted Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and, he says, asked him to take down 14 posters his organization posted at Washington's Union Station.

"We've been very clear I think from even before the administration started that their two girls would have a very private life, and we want to protect that private life and their privacy," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said this morning when asked about the PCRM posters. "And we hope that others will be respectful, as many in the media have been, about not using the girls as a publicity stunt."

The ads feature 8-year-old Jasmine Messiah of Miami-Dade public schools thinking: "President Obama's daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don't I?"

"What are you talking about, 'Take down these ads?!'" Barnard says he thought at the time. He consulted a first amendment attorney who said the White House has no leg to stand on.

"They're good people," Barnard said of White House associate counsel Karen Dunn and deputy associate Counsel Ian Bassin, who called him and asked his group to take down the ads because they mention the Obama daughters, as first reported by the Washington Post. "It's standard operating procedure for handlers at the White House" to call whenever the Obama daughters are mentioned, Barnard said. "They want to be overprotective."

But Barnard suggests that President Obama would support his group's mission behind the ads: to encourage Congress to mandate in the Child Nutrition Act that public school cafeteria's offer a vegetarian non-dairy option with lower fat content.

"Every meal right now is really meaty and cheesy," he says. Offering healthy alternatives fits right in with the President's health care reform push, and the emphasis on preventive care. "If we can bail out banks and offer cash for clunkers, certainly we can take steps to ensure our kids have options to high cholersterol meals," he said.

"The contrast is not with the daughters," Barnard says of the controversial poster, pointing out that Sasha and Malia's names and pictures are not in the ad. "The contrast is with the school the president's daughters are able to patronize. Sidwell Friends is able to offer health nutritious meal options." Veggie burgers are offered alongside hamburgers, vegetarian chili is served next to meat chili with higher cholesterol, he says.

"Go a mile away to any school in the district" and what options are there to a bologna-and-cheese sandwich? he asks. "What's left? Nothing. Nothing at all."

Jasmine Messiah first came to Barnard's attention at an event on Capitol Hill which she attended with her mother, Sarah Messiah, a scientist at the University of Miami. She asked to speak at the event about the lack of nutritious options available to her at her Florida public school.

Messiah has since written a letter to the First Tweens, writing, "I’m glad that your school, Sidwell Friends, already has lots of healthy options in the cafeteria, including vegetarian chili and roasted vegetable pizza...The problem is that most students eat unhealthy foods, like hot dogs, pepperoni pizza, ham sandwiches and cheeseburgers, every day at school. A lot of schools, including mine, don’t offer enough healthy fruits, vegetables and vegetarian meals.”

Barnard, who specializes in internal medicine at George Washington University Hospital as well as conducting medical research for PCRM, says that "right now one in six children is obese -- in some areas it's one in four." And according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three children born since 2000 will develop diabetes.

Barnard says he has no knowledge that President or First Lady Michelle Obama object to the ads. Rather, he says, it's "White House handlers" being vigilant ever since J. Crew "turned the kids into catwalk models" earlier this year. Ever since, the "handler get nervous every time there's a reference to the presence of children in the White House."

"I don’t want to suggest the President would take Jasmine out for a beer," he says. "I mean, she's only eight years old."

Always wear protection when dealing with evil corpse-munchers

I will be sporting a glove when I shake the corpse-muncher’s [sic - Barack Ba‘al Zebûb Obama] hand.

Antichrist?

A man who shook Barack Obama's hand in Mexico died the next week from symptoms similar to those of swine flu.

Well at least wash your hands really fucking good. Clean hands thoroughly with soap and water and cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand rub (especially after shaking hands with evil corpse-munchers).

Corpse-munchers demand violence

Absurd how corpse-munchers are killing themselves and others and then criticize vegans for trying to improve the world through violent means; while the robbers-of-life have no problem turning a blind eye---and claiming their right---to destroy our world through violent means. Those who demand violence on their plates are in no position to call us violent.

Smithfield's Swine Flu Virus plans our government has for us

I was really getting worried for a moment there. Have no fear of “Change” America: Our government’s "when-the-shit-hits-the-fan" plans to keep us a nation of corpse-munchers are as follows:

Provide guidance and support to poultry, swine and related industries on their role in responding to an outbreak of avian influenza, including ensuring the protection of animal workers and initiating or strengthening public education campaigns to minimize the risks of infection from animal products.

Sufficient vaccine to vaccinate the entire U.S. population within six months of the emergence of a virus with pandemic potential.

Expand the public health recommendations for domestic seasonal influenza vaccination and encourage the same practice internationally.

Encourage and subsidize the development of state-based antiviral stockpiles to support response activities. [8.5 billion of our tax dollars projected]

Early warning of a pandemic and our ability to closely track the spread of avian influenza outbreak is critical to being able to rapidly employ resources to contain the spread of the virus. An effective surveillance and detection system will save lives by allowing us to activate our response plans before the arrival [It's here now] of a pandemic virus to the U.S., activate additional surveillance systems and initiate vaccine production and administration.

Expand our domestic livestock and wildlife surveillance activities to ensure early warning of the spread of an outbreak to our shores. [Factory farms?]

Develop and exercise mechanisms to provide active and passive surveillance during an outbreak, both within and beyond our borders.

Expand and enhance mechanisms for screening and monitoring animals that may harbor viruses with pandemic potential.

Develop screening and monitoring mechanisms and agreements to appropriately control travel and shipping of potentially infected products [Products like pork?] to and from affected regions if necessary, and to protect unaffected populations. [Like children who eat school lunches?]

Provide guidance and support of infection-control and containment, including those circumstances where social distancing measures, limitations on gatherings, or quarantine authority may be an appropriate public health intervention.

Provide guidance for states, localities and industry on best practices to prevent the spread of avian influenza in commercial, domestic and wild birds, and other animals. [Birds like chickens? Other animals, like Smithfield Foods' commercially murdered sick La Gloria pigs?]

Encourage all levels of government, domestically and globally, to take appropriate and lawful action to contain an outbreak within the borders of their community, province, state or nation.

Determine the spectrum of infrastructure-sustainment activities that the U.S. military and other government entities may be able to support during a pandemic, contingent upon primary mission requirements, and develop mechanisms to activate them.

Work with state and local governments to develop guidelines to assure the public of the safety of the food supply and mitigate the risk of exposure from wildlife. [Factory farms]

Want more pig-shit? http://www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/federal/pandemic-influenza.pdf

One corpse-munching nation under god, indigestible, with death and misery for all -

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common good, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish veganism for the United States of America
