Vegans are now on the mainstream's radar, and unlike some vegans, I do care about what goes on in the mainstream. And last night I volunteered at an event benefiting the Office Depot Foundation (which provides backpacks for kids loaded with school essentials, among other things) and someone asked me if there were any vegan desserts!
First I have to say that my husband and I were in our courtyard last night, with wine, vegan pizza with shiitakes, portobellos and chanterelles (still working through that five-pound bag of Daiya cheese), and Diana Krall playing. But today's post is about World Vegan Day, so onward. Some go vegetarian first, then vegan.
Though there are plenty of sites by and for vegans, I like this idea because it provides a built-in opportunity to convert people to veganism because you are side-by-side with them, so to speak, on the same site. Vegans seek out vegan sites, but a nonvegan looking for a chocolate cake recipe probably won't seek out a vegan site.
Kelly wondered whether the term "vegan" is " worth fighting for " given the latest trend of seemingly oxymoronish (waiting for that one to hit Webster's) terminology from the mouths of people who want to find a way to use animals, yet make it appear that they're not. Is vegan a diet ? Before 6pm, he doesn't eat animals.
One of those is vet bills, which of course aren't deductible, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't know the total. I'm doing my best in an imperfect world to respect the rights of other sentients, and I have heard vegans say that sanctuaries--and not pet ownership--will be the only way out of subjugation for cats and dogs.
From VegCooking , courtesy of PeTA: The vegan-friendly attitude of P.F. Vegan dishes are among the bestsellers. There I was, going to lunch with newbie vegan, Cristy, who is terrified of restaurants since going vegan. S: There's only one thing on our menu that's vegan. Balderdash, I tell you! Oh, the humanity!
I have fed Charles Hobson Booger, III and Violet Rays every type of diet from raw (as in, turkey necks and chicken backs) to pre-made raw (comes in patties with greens and bones and supplements in it), to homemade vegan to Evolution to pre-made vegan ingredients to a combo. Despite Violet's diabetes, she was never the problem.
Other than being a vegan, the most important actions you can take to help animals who are used for food are: Give generously to organizations that help those sentient nonhumans directly, such as Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary , Maple Farm Sanctuary , Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary and Eastern Shore Sanctuary. Give generously to Tribe of Heart.
I was going to change Animal Person to Vegan Atheist 40+ Parenting and come back to blogging. And of course, many self-identified vegetarians eat fishes and/or chickens. Of course the chicken is not recognizable from the one we just saw and loved. He laughed, but nervously. The young boy says, "you dip the chicken in the egg ."
The PF Chang update, in case you haven't seen the response from the restaurant , is thus, once you incorporate the actual experiences of vegans who have gone through something similar with the restaurant: If you don't eat non-vegan sugar, there aren't many options. Everyone has their line in the sand. municipal water).
I also saw two items of particular interest to the mission of Animal Rights and AntiOppression as well as Animal Person on the Interwebs: An introduction to "Deep Vegan Outreach" and an open letter from Dr. Ray Greek. Of course, the name brings Deep Ecology to mind, which is a plus in my mind.
Thanks to Adam at AbolitionistVegans.org for: Win Free Vegan Products at AbolitionistVegans.org During the next few weeks, we will be watching activity in the forum and in the comments on the front page to select users as recipients for several vegan products to be shipped out by the vendors for food, fashion, and household items.
I could be reading into this, but it does appear that there's some discomfort on the part of non-vegans when they look through the calendar and I tell them the story. And when you're checking out at the health food store with your cans and bag of vegan dog food, how could that not be a seedy opportunity?
Of course she eats a bunch of batter first, then a couple of pancakes. No matter what your beliefs are, when you're a parent you educate yourself about parenting style, nutrition (and Ginny Messina 's fabulous Vegan for Life recently arrived and includes nutrition information as well as sample menus for kids!) Blueberries and bananas.
I'm a vegan who thinks we shouldn't be using animals even if we change the conditions of their use. Of course there are oodles of vegetarians who mention veganism and how difficult and restricting it is, and overall I'm having a fairly disheartening experience. After all, who I am doesn't stop at vegan.
Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos? . And of course what we do is about the issues. Just think of how much vegan education and animal care could be accomplished with the money in those large organizations " is what I would say to Parker.
I have a column on my Tweetdeck (an application for ease of Twitter use on my desktop) called "vegan," where all tweets from all tweeple who mention "vegan" are listed in somewhat real time. Finally, I'm pretty sure I'm not in his demographic, but I've seen a lot of tweeting about people going vegan after watching Onision.
The one that caught my eye as useful for vegans and the animal rights community is: WEBook, a venture-backed start-up in New York, allows people to collaborate on writing books and is working on new ways to let readers give writers real-time feedback on their work. Check out Vegancrowd for some existing vegan work and ideas for projects.
As I've written previously, I never pushed him to go vegan, and now that he is I don't push him to do any vegan education. not deeply of course, but sufficiently so you get a clear picture that is impossible to deny. And he texted or Facebooked friends with various statistical tidbits and a recommendation to watch the film.
Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animal rights activists. Well, as it turns out neither a trip to a slaughterhouse nor killing an animal yourself is powerful enough to make people go vegan. What about their horror?
I recall one day when his sister-in-law was speaking with him about what she was feeding her children, and it wasn't a vegan-centered conversation. TD, of course, wasn't too keen on hot dogs for nutritional reasons at the very least. Sometimes permanently. I think it was about hot dogs. TD replies: " Yeah, like heroine.
I've been out of every loop I used to be in because my work outside of veganism and animal rights came a-calling in a most critical way. There are new Francione-style abolitionists and new people to veganism who debate about the ethics of consuming eggs from their neighbor's chickens. Yes, we have a long, long way to go.
Of course , I say to myself, language is worth fighting for. And it usually involves exchanges with non-vegans. I could debate about language all day, with vegans and non-vegans. --would call HSUS an animal rights group (after all, HSUS doesn't even do that). Won't the battle always be won by common usage/the majority?
As for cookies, well, I am at the end of week one of gluten-reduced week, and my two favorite parts were, of course, desserts. And here are "Gluten-Be-Gone" Chocolate Chip cookies from Dreena Burton's " Eat, Drink & Be Vegan.". Brownie bites by Babycakes (but with date sugar and agave nectar instead of granulated sugar).
Cherry City Bath and Body is a great new, vegan bath and body company! So of course we wanted to spread the word about Good Karma. There are so many options, but of course we hope you will give Good Karma a try and help some animals while you smell good! If you are looking for a new scent, be sure to visit Cherry City !
Finally, it arrived--a medium-size bag (4.4lb for $22.95 + shipping) of Ami vegan cat food (via Vegan Essentials ). Of course, I have to be on the lookout for any changes in Emily anyway, as she's an FIP kitty and has a bloated belly but at this point no other symptoms. What a relief!
The question of course is, are you really significantly decreasing suffering? Lesson #20 We still don't know what will make a critical mass of people go vegan. But other than multi-pronged, multi-media, persistence, I have no idea what will be necessary to make most people go vegan. And this is why I write about justice instead.)
I don't need to "remind myself" of how bad it is to bolster my commitment to veganism. So I do what I can do, beginning of course with being vegan. I choose not to watch videos or bombard myself with images of suffering. I know it's out there. I've seen enough of it for plenty of lifetimes. Spiritual beliefs?
People who have eaten meat and dairy products their entire lives, often simply can't imagine what vegans eat. Vegan chefs Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero are doing their part to put an end to the misconception that vegan cuisine is boring and bland. Still skeptical about how tasty vegan fare can be?
So here I am, on the third anniversary of Animal Person, asking for advice that has nothing to do with veganism or animal rights (and I've tweeted about this so some of you already know what's coming). Of course some of the original inhabitants migrated across the street to an abandoned building, and that's next.
Or printed thousands of copies of vegan leaflets. Of course, I have an emotional attachment to that one individual, Violet Rays. Or paid for food for a year at a rescue kennel. I've never met Bella , the orange tabby pictured above whose people abused her and tried to declaw her with pliers.
Our aim of this week is to educate people about the cruelty of greyhound racing and of course call for an end to government grants to this business and our sights of course are to see an end to this cruel exploitive industry. Note that ARAN is "vegan-based" according to the video from Supreme Master Television on the site.
Vegan education/advocacy for animals is easiest for me when I know my audience. Of course, those people, who are often the "spiritual" ones, are particularly frustrating to deal with. And by "know," I mean I have a relationship with them and/or I understand what drives them, what they appreciate and what they can tolerate.
And of course, I will use the meetings as an opportunity for vegan outreach. It'll be my area's first group dedicated to reducing the feral cat population! I missed the first meeting because I was working, but I am getting the minutes and do plan to get involved and also donate.
And of course that premise is only possible because the animals (and everything else on the planet) are our "resources." Tags: Activism Books Current Affairs Ethics Language 100 Heartbeats animal rights Jeff Corwin veganism. But again, he's a conservationist, so none of this is a surprise.
And of course, there were treats too! Front Porch Pets conclude this year’s gift bag with a perfect fit for Alicia Silverstone’s vegan lifestyle offering their 100% family farm grown sweet potato Veggie Rawhide Bichon Fries, Big Boys & Pumpkin Crunchers. There were a lot of other great goodies in the gift bag!
Part of me wants to see those posts out of curiosity, and the other part writes him off instantly and withdraws any previous credit given because he so obviously does not understand what animal rights is and doesn't know that many vegans and animal rights activists see their cause as one of a handful that are all connected.
If you are already a vegetarian, make this the year that you decide to go vegan. Of course, since that is so easily accomplished, you may have already fully succeeded in carrying out that aspect of resolution 11 long ago. You can download a "Vegan Starter Kit" from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine here.]

To that extent, he will be not only a vegetarian, but also a vegan, one who abstains not only from meat but also from animal products. One might of course defend the consumption of animal products, while opposing the eating of meat, on the ground that killing a steer, say, produces more suffering than separating a cow from her calf.
His book on atheism is among the best I have read on that topic, which is why I used it in my Philosophy of Religion course many years ago. (I I use different books in my courses to keep things interesting for me.) My examination will not be complete, of course. The contrast would be, for example, “health vegetarianism.”
Going vegan is the best way to combat this environmental nightmare, improve your health and stand up against the animal cruelty so prevalent in factory farms today. This comes at an enormous cost to animal welfare, the environment and of course public health. Laura Frisk Encinitas, Calif., We can start at our next meal.

The phrase they suggest using is “Feed two birds with one hand”, or the vegan version “Cut two carrots with one knife” My mother is dead already, but she might have pointed out that she told me so.
