Random political musings....
Must have been the veggie discussion BestFriend and I had last night, but I'm feeling very politically growly today. I used to be bothered by those pesky pesco-vegetarians, but recently, I think I've become one. When the power went out last night we ended up going for sushi and I had my first ever sushi with actual fish. I think I love eel. And we got a veggie tempura roll, which was kind of like country-fried sushi. Yummy. But I digress.
My friend E., who is from Canada, sent me this link today. I had to tell her that I think I'm Canadian. Do I need to come out as that?
And this story just pissed me off. Especially the part about "well, it's not really been tested, but the FDA will approve it." I will admit having taken two pill packs without leaving the week off this month. And yeah, I hate to admit it, but I did it so that I'm not on my period when I'm taking Rodney Yee's workshop next month. But, it really irks me that people are dressing up our obsession with "convenience" as "science". And frankly, I don't get the convenience argument anyway. What's so freakin' inconvenient about it anyway (barring those with horrible PMS symptoms)?
I hate the fact that I'm on the pill anyway. I feel like I'm deliberately messing with my body for no reason (it's not like I'm really using it for birth control, as one would have to be having boysex for that to be necessary). But if I go off of it, the migraines are uncontrollable. Just who knows what other problems I'm causing for myself down the road.
I had a much more compelling argument in my head about this earlier, but was too busy to post it from work. So now I just sound ranty and whiny. And I have to run....I will try to make this more coherant later.
