Yes, "happy meat" concerns me as well, the idea that people can assuage their concience because animals are being treated nicely so it's fine to eat them or consume their products...

I hope you're...

Sorry, the original link was longer... I'm glad you clicked but sorry for the disgust it caused... I know as a meateater I would never have been able to have raw meat draped over me. I assume they've...

I think your article is brilliant and hits straight to the point - an animal, maybe many died so that for a couple of clicks of a camera, some "pop star celebrity" could be seen as edgy... How anyone...

I can totally sympathise with Tiffany, I get called "purist" and "extreme" and I agree with HorselessPaul, I say back, "I'm vegan", that means I do my utmost to not consume, wear or use any animal...

Hi, I just felt I had to post a link to this article. I just don't know what to say about it really -...

I agree, I'd never really liked milk to start with but I used to put cheese on everything, which makes me feel ill now...:o Once I saw Earthlings and I'd read Vegan Freak etc, I knew I had to go...

Funnily enough I thought that as I read it, I meant cruelty filled chocolate, vegan white chocolate is just so delish! ;)

I listened to a lot of Vegan Freak Radio podcasts as an omni, and got Bob Torres' book "Making A Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights " and Gary Francione, "Introduction to Animal Rights",...

Its great reading all of your stories, esp those who have had children and brought them up vegan, I think it's great that we can have a generation of children who've never consumed an animal...

I hear you! I eat just as much from scratch now as I did before I became a vegan (never much one for ready meals etc), but I eat so much more variety as a vegan. Before, I had a repetoire of meat...

Since becoming vegan, i've tended to cook from recipe books that require fresh ingredients rather than rely on soy substitutes. It's cheaper and as megrainbows says it means you know what goes into...

Lol, I agree! Us vegans, we're all thinkers :p :cool:

I'm happy that I don't have to worry about justifying to myself that I'm living consistently with my ethics - to me the arguments for...

Whenever I see the word "nit", I start to itch... *shudder* - remember having them as a kid, catching them from someone in school, really not nice.

I don't equate this with drinking a glass of...

Awww thanks! What a nice welcome to the world of veganforum posting :)

I totally agree with this, and find often that even if I am happy with my veganism and "avoid animal products to the best of my ability" there are always omnis or even vegetarians willing to try and...

That would be awesome... Mmmmm wouldn't help my crush on him tho!

I also, as someone else has said on here would like Paul McCartney to go vegan, it annoys me that he voiceovers PETA videos and...

I think that's so lovely!

Here are mine -

Spend more time with your Grandad - he'll be gone in just a couple years and you'll miss him so much more than you thought possible...
While you...

[QUOTE=AlexK;660177]I've never felt any desire to slip; fortunately I've found it easy ... maybe because I still feel the powerful effects of what I learned that lead me to veganism in the first...

I agree with this point of view although I understand how mistakes can be made. I bought ready made pizza bases and on the way home wondered if a specific ingredient was vegan, on telling my bf that...

I feel as someone has said on this forum that the key is getting veganism taught in schools to children as an alternative to the conventional food pyramid. In a way, my anger cannot be directed at...

I think every so often these articles come about after one particular example of ill-informed parents who feed their children a ridiculously restrictive diet and everyone who is on a so called...
