Then please have the courage to watch the film “Earthlings” by VNikol http://lipstickandluxury.com/2012/01/26/do-you-have-pets-eat-meat-wear-fur-then-please-have-the-courage-to-watch-the-film-earthlings/#comment-4841 VNikol Sun, 29 Jan 2012 06:09:52 +0000 http://lipstickandluxury.com/?p=10118#comment-4841 Just reading this makes me sad, I admit I've always been a meat-eater but these last few years (thanks to becoming more aware of documentaries like this one), I've been second-guessing it & feeling a little guilty when I do. I think the thought of not eating meat sends my mind into a bit of a panic, wondering what's left to eat & how in the world will I be able to do it...(even though I know fully well that hundreds of thousands of people survive just fine on vegetarian and even raw food diets). The fact that I've not yet been able to watch any such documentary lets me know what a coward I've been about eating meat & how loud that lil voice in my head is becoming. Lord knows I can't imagine my sweet lab pup being harmed for fashion or food! How awful these animals are treated.... :( Just reading this makes me sad, I admit I’ve always been a meat-eater but these last few years (thanks to becoming more aware of documentaries like this one), I’ve been second-guessing it & feeling a little guilty when I do.

It's mostly the profit motive that is causing these horrors.

I'm also trying to switch over to safer skincare alternatives & planned to try Alba's line in the future so this helps. I'm trying out 100% Pure at the moment & will review them in the near future. : ) Thanks for the review.

They give an image of perfection that clearly doesn't exist no matter how much money, resources or help the person might have. Girls & women aspire to become the 'after' photo which is immediately setting one up for failure. If they'd only run the real images, everybody would feel a heck of a lot better about themselves and the world would still go on. I can’t stand it.

A big danger is that men (straight men that is) look at these images and think it's attainable. People love to deny it, but they do compare "real "women to these images.
