re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

Raising animals just to kill them is one of the things that really gets me... it's one of the reasons I wanted to become a vegetarian.

And I agree w/ orangeskittles, I understand animal testing for medicine, but animal testing for makeup and such bothers me. I actually hate mice, but I don't like the idea of killing them just to save some money or whatever.

Luckily I've never had to do a dissection, although I have had to inspect a sheep's heart, which thoroughly grossed me out, but I always made the decision that I wouldn't dissect anything that was living when it arrived. I had always planned to present an alternative to any teacher who tried to make me do it.

Sometimes, I kind of want to be that person who sets the class lab rats free.

sometimes I kind of wanted them to try to get me to do a frog dissection or something, so that I could be the kid that set the frogs free. re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

Heh, sorry to out you for your mouse, it was just the first example I could think of other than dissection.

"Unfortunately, the frogs are usually dead upon arrival to the school."

Oh, boo. I guess I shouldn't base my impressions of frog dissections off of tv shows. I should've learned that after we never made anything explode in chemistry.

I should've learned that after we never made anything explode in chemistry.

I know, right? It's like the most extreme stereotype of anything never happens. Like a father with slippers and a terry bathrobe doesn't chase the kids around the house, newspaper-in-hand, and no one actually rubs their fists in a circular motion near their eyes when they cry*. Disappointing. I should probably mention that I think stereotypes are, generally speaking, absolutely hysterical.

*I totally bet Adam Pascal has done this at least once, though.

He was probably a very tantrum-esque child re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

Lab dissections are not my favorite thing. Last year we had to do the pig one and I just felt awful for the animals. They all came in mini plastic body bags that we had to open and start dissecting ourselves. I was very uncomfortable with the whole thing; but like others said, you don't want to be the outcast you know? Though there was one girl who refused to do it because of her vegan lifestyle; which is totally fine with me. The problem now is she's been following me around school pouting in my face that I wear a leather jacket. It's like look, you have you're lifestyle and I've got mine. I really like this jacket because it keeps me warm and it's sweet that I found it at a thrift store. Do I push you to eat meat? No. Then don't force me to give up my jacket I love because it goes against you're ways.

End of rant.

Didn't he cry for weeks when sent to theater camp when he was a kid?

I've never had a lab dissection, oddly enough.

we dissected a worm and a frog in 7th grade biology. actually makes me reconsider taking that college biology class now that i think about it. and my daughter actually does do the fist in eye thing when she cries. but she's only 6 months old and she usually only cries when she's tired so i expect she'll outgrow it.

brina I totally understand your rant... even though I am a vegetarian, I hate when I see other vegetarians/vegans trying to push the lifestyle on meat-eaters... it gives us a bad name. I'm one to just have my views, and if someone wants to hear them than that's cool, but I try not to push them on anyone else.

Plus, I too get criticized sometimes by some of my friends who are vegetarians for my leather shoes & purses, so I can completely get why that's so annoying. Just this week my friend was giving me a bit of a hard time about wearing leather boots.

I think he told that story during his second Chatterbox. Along with the smelling pot story...

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

I remember that story

Emcee's lab mouse is bred to be taught for a semester, then killed because they can't see any further purpose for them.

I so didn't need to hear that. Something like that can ruin my day - but it happens constantly, so I'm glad you brought it up.

I've never been one to try and push my vegetarian lifestyle on others. Frankly, if we lived like we did a hundred years ago, I would be more inclined to eat meat. And if I were starving, I know that I would kill a cow in order to survive. The only time I bring it up is when people ask me why I choose to be vegetarian. When I ask people if they've seen Fast Food nation, and people give responses like "well, the cow was old, he was going to die anyway," then I get irritated. But honestly, if you see a film like that, or are aware of the consequences of meat farming, and you can still eat meat - fine. None of us are in a place to judge.

Here's a non dairy vodka sauce recipe. I have a friend that makes it and it's pretty tasty.

3 14.5 oz cans stewed tomatoes
3 1/2 cups plain soy milk
1 small onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 t dried basil
1/2 t dried oregano
1 t salt
2 T vodka
black pepper to taste

Cook soy milk over medium heat until it reduces to 2 cups. Puree tomatoes in blender or food processor. Add milk and blend until well mixed. In large skillet cook garlic in a bit of olive oil for about a minute, then add tomato mixture and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it starts to sputter, reduce heat. Add basil, salt and oregano, cook for 5 minutes. Add vodka, simmer 5 more minutes then add pepper. Serve over your favorite pasta. Serves 4

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

Thank you!! I'm going to try that. I eat a lot of pasta, but I've been getting so sick of tomato sauce lately.

Hooray cupcakes!

I had to dissect a fetal pig during my freshman year of high school. It wasn't as gruesome as I thought it would be, because after they sit in the formaldehyde for so long, they honestly don't even look real. They looked so rubbery that you could almost trick yourself into believing they were fake pigs. I was still really upset by it, but the alternative was some stupid computer program. My senior year AP bio class was supposed to dissect cats, which really upset me, but thankfully there was some sort of snafu and they never arrived in time.

You're welcome. I don't have any food alleries and can eat anything, so was convinced this was just going to be awfull made without cream or cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted it...

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

I love the Cherrybrook cupcakes. So so good.

Going back to labeling- Nearly everything says "may contain traces of.." now. I'm highly allergic to nuts, so a lot of times I can't eat things because it might have been processed in the same factory as something with nuts. I feel like a lot of things are like that, such as wheat. My problem is that I eat a lot of foods that I'm intolerant to or shouldn't eat because of stomach problems yet complain later when I'm in bed for the next two days.

I had to do a fetal pig in high school. It didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

See the thing is I love the vegetarin lifestyle. Last year I was ovo-lacto veg. for about 3 months; but unfortuantely I became very sick as a result of it and I had to stop. I hope to continue with it once I enter college and make my own meal plan choices, but we'll see how it goes.

And that GIRL. My God, not only does she bother me about my coat/other things; she's been following me around like a neglected puppy for the past 3 weeks. I'm honestly the type of person who is open to anyone joining my friend circle and loving meeting/greeting new people; but this chick has been driving me insane with a capital I.

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part 13 1/2

I can't believe I am coming out of my comfortable lurking mode to tell this story, but with all this talk of dissecting things in science class....

As a senior in high school I took AP Biology. Because the exams were in May we had a ton of time afterwards to do what the teacher refered to as "fun" stuff. Now, I grew up in a fairly rural area and one of the students was studying to be a taxidermist, so he brought in three FROZEN BEAVERS for the class to disect. It was an absolute nightmare. (stop reading now if you are at all squimish) They were not in formaldahyde or preserved in any way. There was blood, and the obvious odor...It was so far beyond disgusting that I truly consider the whole experience one that scarred me for life. And I didn't even do any actual dissecting, but just being in the room was enough that I will never forget it (and this was over 15 years ago).

WOAH frozen beavers? That sounds so cool and disgusting all at once :-X Sorry you had to go through with that!
