Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, a romance, or rather romantic comedy.  I expected the standard formula: girl meets boy, girl falls madly in love, boy rejects girl, girl follows boy across the country [...]]]></description>

During this time I did lots of research and discovered that most hens raised for meat or used to provide eggs were really treated poorly, by my standards. I didn't think it was ok so I stopped supporting it by not eating it. My family followed.]]></description>
