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.

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. You are preventing untold exploitation and suffering by tackling them.

There has to be something I can do to reduce all of the suffering of the animals we use as food, I thought. Now, I don't want to do anything extreme, like go vegan. Veganism is too fringe for me, and I'm pretty sure you have to be a Communist, or at least a Socialist, to be a vegan. I call it VBM: Vegan Between Meals.

There is a general consensus that vegetarianism and veganism are different philosophically. This, now, is a very practical matter, where all measures we take must be tested empirically on their consequences. And the only way to totally alleviate that suffering is to not use the animal. How about this?
