"the ideal weight for a 5'7" woman was 135 pounds." That's a low, but at least not underweight, BMI. It still seems ridiculous to make that claim though, for the reasons you've stated. And your endocrinologist makes me want to go back in time and SHAKE HER. How completely uncalled for and horrible. :c

God, so much this.

I didn't see it so much as the vagina is a special sacred cow that needs extra super care as referencing how culturally the vagina is ridiculed and deemed gross, dirty, ugly and disgusting and this is just one more thing in that fucked up mess.

Yeah, I want to watch it since I have so many friends who really like it. I'm sure there are things in it I would like. I've seen chunks of episodes, since my SO watches the show, but I always end up uncomfortable and then zone out.

Haha. Well, I don't keep count, per se, but since I can count them all on one hand it's not easy to forget. ;)

I respectfully disagree.

"What if vegetarians and vegans could buy and consume animal-based products that were made without actually harming animals. Would they?"

Oh god, I LOL'd. So glad I wasn't drinking anything. You win one internet. Well done, you.

Yes. I'll lead us off.

When I run long (20ish mile training runs, marathons or ultra races) you bet your ass I demolish food. I'd demolish the table the food was on.

Yes, you do. If you look at a GOOD breeder's code of ethics or look into responsible, ethical breeders who are trying to help mentor others in ethical breeding, they will mention genetics. Even two healthy dogs can have lurking genetic issues that will create unhealthy pups. It's important to understand basic genetics

Oh man, sorry to be so US-centric! I'm a bit embarrassed now. :/

Your son is wonderful and you did a fantastic job raising him. What a nice kid! I love kids who love animals. :)

Irresponsibly breeding your animal without any idea of genetics, with no intentions or knowledge on how to breed to improve the breed, and just so you can "have a litter" is actually the most stupid idea I've heard.

My ex-mother-in-law has a Bengal. When I met him he was an adult and pretty mellow. Handsome and huge but otherwise pretty normal.

Haha. Thanks. :)

Ah! That makes perfect sense. I didn't even think of school. I was just vegetarian in college, too, since it was already hard enough doing that at my Cow College in WI. Haha. Once I graduated, veganism was much more doable! Especially living in the Twin Cities, MN. :D

Gurl, going vegan won't help with the cookies and ice cream thing. I'm an ethical vegan (9 years strong) and we have FABULOUS cookies and ice creams. If there were no vegan ice cream I'd still be vegan (because animals) but I'd be a really sad panda. ;)

Thanks for mentioning this! I'm fit and pretty slim but my stomach is my trouble spot. I also am very straight up and down/athletically built and have wanted a smaller waist/hourglass figure FOREVER. I just bought a Squeem. ;) I'm hoping it'll make me feel better and look better. I can't lose weight without triggering
