What grinds my gears is people who don't pay attention to their surrounding while driving; I was on my bike, had the right of way and got hit by a red dodge minivan that wasn't paying attention to the road this morning.

I got a million more but what grinds your gears?

I watched old episode of Penn & Teller Bullshit on organic last night, found it pretty amusing.

The number one reason to go organic for me would be health benefits by not exposing my body to these chemicals and pesticides but if some of these chemicals/pesticides are used in organic food then why switch?

Don't have much pictures of myself, I'm the one mostly behind the camera but here's me last weekend out camping on a very hot/humid day riding girlfriends fathers 40 year old bike. Fun times.

Thanks lobsteriffic, elbows better but shoulder feels a little odd every now and then but I'm still gonna lift weight tonight. I still think I need to increase my calorie intake but unsure what I'm gonna do.

With this past holiday and camping on the weekend I haven't been recording my food; worse things I consumed was chips and alcohol. Body feeling a little fatigue but I still plan on lifting some weights tonight. (I hope)

Cool, I walked to the local park (Assiniboine Park) for the fireworks, then headed out to the lake the following day for some fun in the sun and more fireworks.

Happy Canada Day VBB!!! Any plans for this great day?

Last night had Quinoa Kitchari (quinoa + red lentils) with veggies

When someone would bring up organic, first word that would pop into my head was "healthier" but is it really? A year or two ago remember hearing about a study that concluded that organic food isn't nutritional healthier but pesticides was never taken into account.

So what's VBB opinion on the topic? Do you buy organic? Has there been any studies of the affects of these pesticides on humans?

Today had a lot of cramps

Not sure but feeling pain in my left shoulder and little soreness in left elbow, this week I've increased reps or increased the weights on most exercises. Think tomorrow, depending on how I'm feeling I might take it slow, we'll see.

Sweet I've always wanted to make my own tortillas.

Italian Feast Sausages, couscous and mix vegetables.

So what did you have for dinner?

True I do have access to more stuff then I usually do but I have to share it with other non-vegans, so trying to come up with quick/premade food that I can bring. Tonight I made Italian Feast Sausages (seitan) that I'll bring, think tomorrow I'll make some bean burgers.

Can't believe there's not many campers on here, I LOVE to go camping and usually have a lot of ideas on food.

[Edit] Veggie Sushi now on the list now.
