I have a feeling some of you will enjoy her videos, even if you're not a veggie yourself.

Can't see at work, but the word Naked is in the address so that gets my attention.

Anyone here got any favorites in their towns?

Fucking awesome.

Incidentally, what are you guys' thoughts on your pets' diets? Do you feed them vegan foods, more healthy and organic foods, or do you just not own pets out of principle?

I kind of have my cats on a "to do" list. Right now I feed them what my veterinarian recommended. I've give them vegan canned food as a treat or for their birthday dinner (I won't buy canned tuna for them). Based on the little research I did do, it's just not something I think I can afford right now. And one of my cat is on a special calorie-reduced diet that I don't think is available in vegan form, so there's no real choice there.

So basically I plan to research this more in the future and fully evaluate my options. I know there is research out there and that there are vegan choices for cats, but I want to check for myself that it's healthy.

we have 2 cats, but they are my girlfriend's. she is vegan, too, but she is concerned that the vegan cat food might not be good for them. if they were my cats, i'd feed em the vegan cat food.

if i had my own pet, it would be a dog rescued from a shelter, since they make lots of different vegan dog food. but people getting dogs from breeders (or from people who have animals who won't spay/neuter) is not cool, imo.

My gf just found this paper:

Meat gives men worse BO
The Effect of Meat Consumption on Body Odor Attractiveness. Chemical Senses (2006) 31 (8 ): 747-752.

Figure 2Mean ratings (±SE) of axillary odor pleasantness, attractiveness, and intensity when body odor donors were on meat diet (white bars) and when on nonmeat diet (gray bars). Differences are significant at P = 0.01 (repeated measures ANOVA).
