What's up with the name?

Hope all you East-Siders are keeping save from the mighty storm! It has finally reached the Toronto area and it's nasty out. I'm so glad that one of my meetings got cancelled so I managed to get home by 8pm. It was crazy how quickly the weather deteriorating and it has gotten very windy. Yuck! So much for going for a nice long jog this weekend to check out nicely decorated houses. I just hope that kids get a chance to enjoy Trick-or-Treating this year because I really doubt that anyone will be doing much decorating in this weather. Well... enough of the depressing.

I wanted to talk about the reason why I named my blog Milk and Honey on the Run. After I made it, I realized that it has somewhat a religious connotation which was not intended. It has nothing to do with "the land of milk and honey" or anything else in the Bible. Instead, it is more about Greek Mythology. I remember reading that when Zeus was hidden from his crazy child-eating father, he was fed on milk and honey. That's what has raised him to be strong and healthy. That's what the "Milk and Honey" stands for- strength, health, and just well being in general. Kind of funny because I don't even drink milk... gives me tummy problems when I run (TMI?). I guess it was a powerfood in the past before we started to treat our cows like crap and inject them with hormones & antibiotics.

Earthlings

I'm not sure how I came upon this last night... but I really want to be vegan after watching it. It's a part from the movie "Earthlings" and talks about how farm animals are raise/ butchered (it starts around 2:46).
