  1. So fellow commuters, what's the call, is it still ok to ride your bike to work. Or is COVID-19 also stopping us from doing that? What's your take?
  2. Watched Destroyer on the dish the other night. What a tough, flippen movie! Kidman was brilliant. It's a hard watch, but definitely worth it. 9/10
  3. An interesting read on the Nike VaporFly controversy: https://www.outsideonline.com/2408971/nike-vaporfly-controversy
  4. This speech is very much aligned with the philosophy that JoshOdi used to preach: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/feb/10/joaquin-phoenixs-oscars-speech-in-full
  5. Well done. I can honestly say, since I've been meat free. My energy levels have been through the roof.
  6. Did anyone encounter this hail in Joburg yesterday? It was hectic. Managed to avoid it by the skin of my teeth.
  7. Don't you find it interesting how Trump has used this tactic to paralyze the once health democracy known as America. Scandal after scandal, he's mesmerised the American people into this stupor while pushing through - Tax cuts and deregulations, that enrich himself and his wealthy handlers while disenfranchising the vulnerable and endangering the planet. It's almost like he read the book (giving him a bit too much credit here) and used it as a sort of manual to run his presidency.
  8. For other studies check these out: Post 19
  9. There are a number of studies done on this: 1) The China Study 2) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10496449 3) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5971679/#r51 4) https://www.nature.com/articles/nutd20173 Definitely all animals are animals, but I doubt the snakes, rats and worms are being slaughtered by the billions. I was referring to the poor guys in over filled pens, standing in their own waste etc. pumped full of antibiotics and hormones, who's only solace is to land up on the end of meat hook.
  10. "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!!" LOL!

  14. This looks really interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x41SMm-9-i4
  15. The hole we're in, is nicely summarized here, but it also outlines the way out. https://mg.co.za/article/2019-12-13-00-coal-is-destroying-south-africa-renewables-are-the-future
  16. They took on a Atkins or Banting diet?

  18. Not sure about the rest of you. But commuting by bike has made me a lot more patient when driving in traffic.
  19. So I hope a lot of you are thinking about Veganuary and are willing to at least give it a try. I subscribed to Veganuary this year and have been meat free since. It's been an eye opener discovering all the amazing vegan/vegatarian options out there. If you need some motivation to get started give this a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYOViszK_A Veganuary for the win.
  20. Also in the Area is Kaylee's: https://kaylees.co.za/
  21. Glow Bowl for the WIN!!
  22. It makes sense though right? The number one killer in 1st world countries is Cardiovascular disease and diabetes. And the only scientifically proven cure for those issues is a whole food, plant based diet. So my take is that, this message is getting out there and people are willing to give it a try. It's super encouraging. Can you imagine how much load gets taken off of your health care system if people just change their diet. Individuals win - Countries win - Animals win. Win - Win - Win. What's not to like.
  23. Well Done girls and guys!! We're on 99 792. That 100K goal is gonna get smacked, one time!! You're all awesome!
