I just traumatized myself by watching 2 PETA videos tonight. I stumbled upon one when I looked up “foie gras” in Google. At the top of the list is “Foie Gras: The Delicacy of Despair”. Of course, curiosity killed the cat - and apparently a lot of other animals as well. I literally sat in front of my computer, crying, as I watched the horrific conditions and treatment that ducks bred for foie gras must endure.

As if that wasn’t enough torture, I clicked on a feature on “J Crew’s Dirty Little Secret,” an investigation about the fur trade in China. I had to shut it off and walk away because I couldn’t stand to watch the entire video. My stomach had actually turned.

Luckily, I don’t look good in fur.

“That’s it, I’m going to be a vegetarian,” I told Hubby, who was peering over my shoulder watching the videos with me.

“You’d have to be a vegan,” he said matter-of-factly. Knowing my love of a good filet mignon, he urged, “Watch the one about the cows.”

“Nooooooo….”

As I read through the rest of the site, I sighed, “Damnit, I can’t even eat fish or eggs now! I’m going to have to live on tofu and vegetables. Daaaammmitttt…”

“Yeah, until you see their video on the unethical treatment of soy beans.”

I’m doomed.
