From VegCooking , courtesy of PeTA: The vegan-friendly attitude of P.F. Vegan dishes are among the bestsellers. One manager told PETA Eats that most people prefer the vegetarian lettuce wraps over those with chicken. There I was, going to lunch with newbie vegan, Cristy, who is terrified of restaurants since going vegan.
I was going to change Animal Person to Vegan Atheist 40+ Parenting and come back to blogging. Doesn't have a ring to it at all, but a young man at Whole Foods yesterday called himself an "animal person" while ordering a roast beef wrap and I thought: Note to self-must change blog name if going to resume blogging.
Yesterday's lessons learned were primarily about blogging. And how, for the love of God, people have got so stop saying things like Vegan Before 6! See Vegan Between Meals for more). But, probably because I was blogging daily and there wasn't great fodder daily, I expanded into other areas. Today they're about language.
This post is inspired by a thought-provoking piece on the Provoked blog (clearly a good name for a blog!) Is a vegan's efforts at advocacy worth more than a vegetarian's or even a meat eater's if they happen to agree on the same issue? Or the vegetarian who still uses dairy?
The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meat industry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago. While a nationwide vegan or vegetarian lifestyle change is highly unlikely, the abuse can be maintained through increased government regulation. I certainly didn't.
Meat eaters (and even some lacto-ovo-vegetarians) think this way because they mistakenly think that vegans eat an austere, bland diet consisting mostly of twigs and seeds with occasionally some plain tasteless tofu thrown in. If you want to see just how delectable vegan food can be, check out the Walking the Vegan Line blog.
A third of a century ago, when the modern animal-liberation movement was in its infancy, Martin published an essay entitled “A Critique of Moral Vegetarianism,” Reason Papers (fall 1976): 13-43. I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. At no point will we speculate about Martin’s motives.
Every day, some people switch from meat-based diets to vegetarian diets. Every day, some people make the switch to entirely plant-based vegan diets. Consider, e.g., the traditional low animal-protein diets in rural China and the vegetarian diets of 15 million Jains.) At the same time, try a vegetarian diet for a month.
First, Chris directed me to ePub Bud , which appears to be a timely and fantastic idea given my recent plea for more books for children about veganism. Letters to the editor, blogging/podcasting/vlogging all come to mind as they don't involve interaction with other people (that's the problem in this instance). What do you think?
Hi there, I've enjoyed reading your blog and appreciate the articles you've posted and the thoughts you've provoked in your readers. The mission of Compassionate Cooks is to empower people to make informed food choices and to debunk myths about veganism. I look forward to continuing to read your blog. All the very best Colleen
Hi Keith, I'm writing to request a copy of Andrew Tardiff's essay "Simplifying the Case for Vegetarianism." If you'll indulge me I would like to compliment you on your blog. I've been an ethical vegan for 12 years; for me it was a straightforward transition. I have recently decided my veganism, in and of itself, was not enough.
If you are already a vegetarian, make this the year that you decide to go vegan. If you are serious about losing weight and improving your health, try out a cruelty-free vegan diet for three months. You can download a "Vegan Starter Kit" from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine here.] There's more!
Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. In his fresh and candid first post (available here ), Jonathan admitted that he is struggling with the issue of ethical vegetarianism. They are alive and well.
