Veganism, Day 4
Posted on April 30, 2009 - Filed Under Animals, Health | Leave a Comment
This actually isn’t so bad after all. Alpro Soya yogurts are delicious, I can still eat plain chocolate, and some days I make up for lost calories in my diet with lots of alcohol. I’m also doing more cooking, which is more fun than I thought it would be, and I feel pretty good generally. [...]
Veganism, Day 2
Posted on April 27, 2009 - Filed Under Animals, Health | 3 Comments
I’m not eating any animal products for one month as part of an agreement/wager with a friend, who has agreed to try vegetarianism for one month. We haven’t decided on a forfeit yet, so feel free to suggest one. It should probably be food-related, like eating a block of butter or something along similar lines. [...]
Med Class

The people who do medicine are awesome, and if you disagree then fuck you! (Disclaimer: utterly inebriated post, but the sentiment still stands. One of my best friends does med, and he’s one of the nicest, most considerate guys I know. And everyone in my class is really nice too. I genuinely feel bad for [...]

My first diagnosis
Posted on October 23, 2008 - Filed Under Health | 4 Comments
I’m pretty sure my vegetarianism has lead to sideropenia (iron deficiency). I’m displaying all the symptoms, except for pica. Update: I wonder how much of my recent behaviour this could explain. It could certainly account for my lethargy, but the weird dreams about half-completed killer robots (controlled by the brains of maladjusted canines) ceaselessly chasing [...]

Pregnant Man

Quote: How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am. In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. [...]

Since yesterday, practicing this has been the overriding goal of my life. Come on cynics, what say you of my latest plan?
Selling Body Parts
Posted on November 6, 2007 - Filed Under Health, Philosophy, Politics | 1 Comment
I have an essay to write on this matter, so I’m interested to hear other views. Do you think it should be legal to sell body parts such as kidneys to people who are willing to pay for them? On the one hand, people do it anyway on the black market, so legalisation would clean [...]

I pledged not to post videos here for a while, so instead here’s a link to Damien’s blog, where you’ll find an Indian educational video about condoms.
Dental Hygiene in France
Posted on September 20, 2007 - Filed Under Health | Leave a Comment
The Economist’s European Blog has an interesting post on oral hygiene in France, or rather the lack thereof. The most striking statistic (taken from an article in Le Figaro) is perhaps that “one million French citizens never brush their teeth”. I would have expected better from the French, despite the crude caricatures of the nation [...]
