Raw Divas In Action

by | 5 comments

 Ooooh! My cheeks are grinning from ear to ear! This just came in, hot off the diva streets:

Dear Friends at Raw Divas, I wanted to share something funny that happened to me, as it pertains to healthy lifestyles. My phone rang, and when I answered it, I heard thunderous laughter. It was a man. He was laughing so hard, that he could hardly speak.”Umm, Miss Nicky?” asked the man. “This is the Director of the Zoo. We received your letter of protest about Hot Dog Day at the Zoo.”Yes, I’d written a letter to the zoo. I told them that loving animals meant not eating them. That’s right, “if we really love animals, we will not eat them.” What a travesty, to serve hot dogs to our children… when this “food” is made of the cheapest meat by-products. Stuff like ground up cow parts and animal hair.My letter asked the Zoo to consider serving soy hot dogs. I talked to the Zoo Director for a while, and he was still stifling his laughter. The man had never heard of vegetarian hot dogs, but I told him where he could buy them, at any grocery store. Unfortunately, the Zoo Director didn’t change his mind. But I bet I made him think (and laugh!) He’d never heard from a Raw Diva before. I bet he’ll never forget either.Sometimes change takes time. Even if I plant a little seed, I cannot be ignored. I’m a Raw Diva, and proud of it. Perhaps someday, the Zoo will change there mind. For now, I’m just happy that I had the courage to speak up and take action.All the best Nicky

DropNow THAT’S the kinda stuff that makes my day and that makes life interesting. If every diva doubled her ripple puddle we’d be making such huge waves out there in the world, there’d be no stopping us. It takes a TRUE diva to believe in her own ability to impact the lives of others. And when she does things she’s aware of how her choices affect the delicate human ecosystem around her. Thanks so much, Nicky, for sharing this with us and for making the world a sparklier place to be! Love and hugs,Tera
