Daily Spendings

September 27th, 2007 at 12:48 pm

Oof, been spending a lot lately again. Shame on me.

Yesterday I had a snack from the vending machine at work of a soda $1.50(!) and pb crackers .75 Then at lunch I was eating my ham sammy and reading. I wsa reading Fast Food Nation. I got to a gross part and literally started gagging on the ham. I had to throw it out. I got a bagel from DnD for $2.00 I'm not sure, but I think it will be a while before I can eat meat again. And finally, we were hot and lazy for dinner, so we ordered pizza for $28.00

Bad bad bad.

Going to try to make today a No Spender, but we'll see. That caffine boost from the soda yesterday was fantastic!

    I'm going to check to see if my library has that book. Sounds interesting! Wink

    I read that book a very long time ago and immediately quit eating meat. I was a veg for two years. I now eat meat very rarely but did start again. Eye opening book!

    $1.50 for a soda, geez. Ours are $1.25 (75 cents for a can) and I thought that was high. If you have them frequently just buy a six pack or a case of cans and leave them at work or in the car.

    Always nice to see potential veggies, I've been veggie for 10 years and run a forum at http://www.veggieboards.com.

    I've been veggie, mostly vegan, for about 14 years. The literature, lecturers and videos that convinced me focused on the animal suffering and the environmental impact of factory farming. Fast Food Nation merely strengthened my resolve by pointing up the human suffering too: I'll never forget the story of the loyal slaughterhouse worker and how his company repeatedly abused and betrayed him, ultimately turning their back on him when he'd essentially become disabled for life because of their treatment.

    I think there are similarly sad stories with seasonal farm workers of fruit and vegetable farms, so the real lesson isn't "Don't eat meat" but: Know where your food comes from! Buy locally whenever possible, whether it's produce, meat or restaurant meals.
