It seems that we have simply have gotten slightly better at postponing death from heart disease, but we have done nothing to stop the rate at which our hearts become diseased.

The mechanical inventions that we use in this country are much less effective than most people realize. Bypass surgery has become particularly popular. As many as 380,000 bypass operations were performed in 1990, meaning that 1 in 750 Americans underwent this extreme surgery.

I freaking love this book, and I haven't even finished reading it yet. The China Study by T. Colin Campbell

It's.... really amazing and has changed the way I think about food. My girlfriend and I are vegetarian (she's more... functionally vegetarian, eating some fish now and then and she used to, on rare occasions, eat a little turkey) but this book has made me rethink my diet and we're pushing for a more vegan diet in the new year. Not a strict vegan diet, because we're both hopelessly in love with cheese still, but we can cut out most everything else, with the occasional butter or yogurt.

The book's point is that a diet high in animal protein greatly increases many diseases, heart disease and cancer among them. Now, we've read books that have pushed for vegetarian lifestyles that are fact interwoven with propaganda and it's frustrating. But Campbell, in this book, does not come off as preachy. He even states at one point that it's okay if your soup has a some chicken stock in it, or you have a little butter. It's obvious that he's not on some moral crusade to get people to stop eating meat and dairy, all he's trying to do is help people live a healthy lifestyle, with a focus on a plant-based diet.

Something I really like about the book is that it explains everything. It does not assume that the reader understands how studies are conducted and explains the process. He explains how misinformation about diet and nutrition is pushed through the media, and why we don't get whole truths or even truths most of the time. The book informs without preaching.

I cannot recommend this book enough.

Went out shoppping today with the GF. Bought a sweet organized hard case for my mountain of makeup, and shopped for warm weather clothes. I realized that I threw out all my dumpy looking warm clothes last spring and now that it's decided to get cold, I have nothing but sundresses and tiny shirts. I tried on a few sweaterdresses that looked terrible and bought a dress for my lady that looked way too good on her to pass up.

Then I went to the comic store and bought the Bumblebee TPB. I will push through the shitty art, damnit.

Meme-ing again. Had a crazy day, so what better way to unwind than to doodle bullshit art? XD
