scintillating scotoma
Nothing like experiencing a medical condition first-hand to really help a doctor understand it from the patient's point of view. After all these years, I had my first (and hopefully last) scintillating scotoma while sitting on the couch playing "words with friends" on my ipad and watching TV. A scotoma is a partial loss of vision in a normal visual field. Scintillate is flashing, sparkles. Put them together and you have moving, flashing sparkles with a blind spot in your eyes.
This visual aura was first described in the 19th century by a Dr. Hubert Airy who had migraine headaches.

I don't eat much meat, at all, though could not live happily without cheese. I agree with and respect vegetarians and vegans on many important issues. BUT (you knew that was coming) I do want people to recognize that vegetarianism is something that only exists in a place of privilege.
I have seen little kids at orphanages in a third world country, who had their own bamboo baskets of rice and plenty of veggie stew, literally fight each other for palmfulls of meat. Poor people don't have edemame and rice dream ice cream and tofurkey, and the human body does crave protein. The ethics of mass factory farming and animal suffering being another (and important) issue, I do want to raise the point that vegetarianism is pretty much a first-world luxury.
