Calling a vegan diet "plant based" annoys me. It's not plant based, it's plants only. Many omnivores eat plant based diets.
Fascinating additional info re. the marshmallow study. Thanks for finding that.
Of course, as it applies to my adult life, self-discipline requires only trust in myself, so I'm good. ;)
Skinny cartoon characters require less ink, and therefore are greener and more environmentally friendly! And probably saved ol' Walt a ton of cash over the years so he could invest in his theme parks.
Hilarious. I read that article and my initial reaction was "stand down people. These are CARTOON CHARACTERS."
Then again, if you want to raise the profile of your organization, you'll want to reach for any controversy you can. So I see why they would do this.
