ABOVE CONCORDIA, KS—Her pen mercilessly slashing its way through a stack of handwritten pages, the middle school English teacher grading papers next to you on your flight from Los Angeles to Cleveland sure isn’t pulling any punches, sources confirmed Friday. “Man, she’s really letting those kids have it, isn’t she?” you reportedly thought to yourself while watching the teacher, who is holding nothing back as she fills page after page with red ink, crosses out entire paragraphs and aggressively marks several sentences “unnecessary” or “confusing.” “C plus, B minus, D minus—this woman is not fucking around. These are 12-year-olds writing papers on Abraham Lincoln, for God’s sake. You’d think she’d just be glad they turned in something halfway readable.” At press time, sources confirmed that Joey Caldwell from third period was getting torn a new asshole.

Intact Benetton Shirt Miraculously Pulled From Bangladesh Rubble Weeks Later

Intact Benetton Shirt Miraculously Pulled From Bangladesh Rubble Weeks Later:

DHAKA, BANGLADESH—Nearly three weeks after the tragic collapse of a factory building in Bangladesh, overjoyed representatives for the clothing company United Colors of Benetton announced Monday they had miraculously managed to pull a fully intact shirt from the wreckage. “We are thrilled and relieved to report the rescue of a men’s medium fuchsia short-sleeved shirt from the rubble of the Rana Plaza building,” a beaming Benetton spokesman said of the article of clothing from the company’s 2013 summer collection, which authorities believe survived the collapse of the eight-story building wedged in the spaces between two large cinder blocks. “We’re happy to report that, aside from a few smudges, the shirt is in excellent condition and only needs a slight washing before it can be shipped to retailers. We want to thank the brave rescue workers in Dhaka for never giving up hope of finding this precious shirt.” At press time, Benetton reported that the garment had been restored to its factory condition and would retail for $59.40

Vitamins, Minerals, and Other Nutrients

Thu, 09 May 2013 20:02:55 -0700

most best list of minerals, vitamin and nutrients sources

veganmovement2012:

The purpose of eating is to nourish the body without causing intentional harm to animals, the earth or yourself. With so much misinformation emanating from the media, the government, schools, parents and the medical community, I’ve decided to compile the most extensive list (101 categories) of cruelty-free food items which contain EVERY vitamin, nutrient and mineral that the human body requires. These whole foods consist of fruits, land vegetables, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and grains (avoid wheat gluten or soy if you are allergic to them). They constitute a complete balance of vital nutrients the body needs to thrive, and the majority of plant foods, such as broccoli, asparagus and strawberries, are a meal in and of themselves. The following items appear in several categories and are considered the best of the best: açaí, alfalfa sprouts, apricots, asparagus, avocados, broccoli, cacao/chocolate (Genuine cacao/chocolate is naturally vegan. It’s a bean.), chlorella, garlic, green leafy vegetables, nutritional yeast, pears, spirulina, strawberries and wheatgrass.

Before presenting the complete list of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, I want to mention something about diseases, pills, and the unnecessary controversy surrounding B12.

First, diseases arise from the consumption of animal protein, casein, cholesterol, sugar, the excessive amount of fat found in all animal products and oils, artificial additives, the 2-9 percent of naturally-occurring trans-fatty acids found in meat and dairy, human-made trans fatty acids found in junk food, and an excessive amount of refined carbohydrates found in white rice, white bread, and pasta. Therefore, it is essential to eat plant-based foods exclusively. Health cannot be found in a bottle. It doesn’t come in pill form. And it certainly doesn’t come from steaks, fish tacos, grilled cheese sandwiches or bacon omelets washed down with a glass of milk.

Second, after 16 years of practicing veganism without taking a single vitamin, I had my B12 level checked on October 24, 2012. It was 543 pg/mL. The normal range is between 271-870 pg/mL. My level is perfect because the human body needs just three micrograms of B12 per day, and we possess bacteria in the mouth and intestines that produce it naturally (see links below). B12 also comes from the earth’s soil, which is why some animals possess trace amounts of B12. They eat dirt when they eat off the ground, and animal-feed is never washed. However, attempting to get secondary trace amounts of B12 by eating animal products is inefficient and deadly. First, B12 is destroyed by heat. Second, animal products contain disease-causing compounds. The heat destruction explains why 99 percent of people with B12 deficiencies are meat, dairy and egg-eaters. The remaining one percent are junk-food vegetarians and vegans, or people with an underlying medical condition that prevents B12 absorption. The veg junk food groups are also at risk for other ailments because optimum health cannot be achieved with cheese, eggs, Ruffles, Oreos, french fries, white rice, white bread, or refined pastas. Non-junk-food veganism causes no disease. It is preventative medicine, the treatment and the cure. There’s also a reason why the term ‘B Complex’ was created. Any plant product containing a B vitamin actually has ALL the B vitamins, including B12.

The best way to get B12 is to eat unwashed organic fruits and vegetables with some soil intact. The best sources are barley, beans, chlorella, dulse, grains (all), grapes (concord), kelp, mustard greens, nori, nuts, plums, prunes, sauerkraut (unpasteurized), seeds (all), soy, spirulina, sprouts (all), wheatgerm and wheatgrass. You can also add Red Star nutritional yeast to your meals.

With all this being said, I want to clarify that there are non-dietary factors that affect health. Stress, a lack of sleep, smoking tobacco, chemical pollution and a lack of exercise can wreak havoc on the body. Moreover, I’m not an anti-vitamin activist. I’m an animal liberationist. My only concern is making sure that animals don’t suffer. If you want to take vegan vitamins or supplements, or your doctor and parents insist upon it, then do it. I could care less. Ingesting a shot of liquid B12, or popping a pill, takes a few seconds. Stop obsessing about it. When I discuss non-animal-suffering issues, I’m just providing you with information. Take it or leave it.
