Mitch Albom,
The Time Keeper
One of the best feelings
in the whole world
is looking at your best friend
realizing you’ve never looked
at anyone like that before
and you find yourself
hoping they will never leave
because you never knew
that someone’s laugh
could not only
make your heart smile
but your soul

Earlier this year The World Health Organisation published a study demonstrating that diets high in processed meats cause 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide and reported that even unprocessed red meats like beef, veal, lamb, and pork are “probably carcinogenic.” In response, the Canadian Meat Council has asked Canada’s health minister to stop funding the World Health Organisation entirely, who conducted this and many other potentially life saving studies. This kind of lobbying is absolutely typical of the meat industry, and is one of the reasons studies like this one rarely see the light of day.
And people act like veganism is some conniving propaganda filled cult
I mean, who is more likely to lie to you? The people trying to promote a decrease in the amount of suffering in the world, or the ones who literally make trillions of dollars a year perpetuating that suffering?
I didn’t need you anymore, but I still wanted you in my life. Maybe that was naive of me - to stick around when I was constantly forgiving you for all that you did.
Time after time, I took the hit. And every time I told myself it would be the last time, I forgave you once more. You forced me to grow up too fast, but still, I forgive you for that too.
