During this 4th of July as we celebrate freedom and independence, it’s a great time think about the men and women who serve and fight to protect ours. And the animals that help them.

Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, M.D., at the annual convention of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), informed that the army is using dogs to help soldiers recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“Meat Is For Pussies”–Why John Joseph Chose The “P” Word

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

So much discussion has been generated by John Joseph‘s latest book, Meat Is For Pussies, on his choice of words for the title, especially in the form of some females taking offense.

Not looking to offend at all, perhaps Joseph’s message would have been clearer if he used the term “pussy-dependent,” (note: new category to be added to the DSM in the future)

Joseph said to Punk News, “The title might suggest that I am being judgmental, but what the title is really saying is that if you continue to live the lifestyle that most Americans are living, then that lifestyle will turn you into a pussy dependent on prescription drug companies. Pharmaceutical companies and food companies look at you as revenue from when you live to when you die. They want you to get sick. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Joseph is also working on a cookbook for later release. Might we suggest the title, “Cooking Meat is for the Pussy Whipped?”
