Pomelo :)

I recently tried a Pomelo for this first time, and here is photographic evidence! It has peel like a giant worn-out lime and looks like the Fiddley Foodle Bird laid an egg (google him lol :p).I found the taste surprisingly subtle. The guy at the store suggested it would taste like a cross between a grapefruit and an orange, but I don't think it really tasted like either. Definitely 'citrusy' but probably hard to pinpoint because I'd never tried one before :p

But let’s go with the classic stereotyped scenario for a moment: the lion and the gazelle. That’s all we see on nature documentaries, isn’t it? Animals hunting animals. We’re supposed to believe that we should do the same because animal agriculture sells. But the lion is hunting because it needs meat to live. The gazelle is running because it values its life, right up to the last breath. Some days the gazelle may get lucky and live to see another day, but usually it will die in the chase. However, the important thing about this occurrence is that both animals are allowed the right to be what they are for every moment of their lives. Our warped culture of farming, keeping and using animals is selfish exploitation. The mass slaughter and the cruelty are only part of how we are at fault here; what we take away from other animals is the right to live out their natural existence and be what they are. 

A little hoverfly drinking up the last of the warm weather this year. The natural world is so beautiful ♥
