This will make you laugh - grimly - a vegan friend of mine was describing some people's behaviour and said "...and I guess they'd become like pigs" - then his jaw dropped (he's life veggie as well so...
When are we ever going to get past this idea that an animal is a thing and can therefore be used for whatever we want dead or alive, but that a human is a person and should be respected in all...
No prizes for guessing what I recommend - watch Earthlings
It's the best antidote possible for the shrinking violet vegan isn't it JC, that's how I used to be but goodness, this has strengthened me in a way that nothing else has. They at least did not...
Yeah. . . I know what you mean . . *hug*
:) You two too :)
I think there is enough hatred in the world directed at the voiceless majority without us laying into fellow vegans. We can never know why someone else is vegan, but for as long as they are vegan,...
I wonder what he feeds his cat?
There's no need to kill for anything, scientific research or food or clothing. It all comes down to death though - we as a species kill because we think it will enable us to live longer ourselves. ...
Thank you for Moby and the Shaolin Monks, awe inspiring :) I got the sense that Carl Lewis is no longer vegan, which would be a shame. Does anyone know if he still is?
I know, that bit, the beating of that poor pig; the dog in the refuse truck, I mean that was just utterly unbelievable; and the cow that had been "killed" kosher style, with its throat hanging out,...
I've just watched 45 minutes.
I am in total shock. I feel such anger and such a sense of powerlessness. Like you Cherry, I will watch it all and I will speak up more.
We get complacent, being...
That is just fantastic!!!!! I can really recommend watching it!!!!
Sounds fab, will try the greenstuff for definite :)
Thanks Cedarblue for all your helpful suggestions :) I eat a raw breakfast, almost raw lunch (home made spreads, salads etc but maybe some bread, fruit), but cook in the evening as I love my...
Because that's what cows are for - their sole function and purpose on this planet is to produce milk for humans! (and provide rotting carcasses for humans to gorge on).
It really does reflect...
What in your experience is the carbon footprint, financial and gastric impact of going raw?
Whenever I try to have a serious attempt to go raw, I seem to have to then be buying avocados,...
I find eating raw nuts/seeds a trial on my tummy, so I dry roast them. Just heat a frying pan and dry roast:
Almonds
Cashews
Sunflower, pumpkins, sesame seeds. You can add a little soy sauce and...
Depends how many people she was sharing it with ;) :)
Oats with a teaspoon each of sesame, sunflower, crushed linseed, 2 tsp pumpkin seeds soaked for 2 mins in boiing water then added soya milk, yoghurt and a banana chopped up with a bit of agave syrup...
Most complementary therapies cost about £35 in my experience. I can imagine that looking at irises could be useful as part of a diagnosis method, like when acupuncture/chinese herbalists or...
Ha Ha! :D :D John Wyndham (is that right?) was not far wrong then.
I agree with you and AMF that provided things are used to help then I feel able to support them - I guess there may be a long...
I'd read the link RachelJune from Harpy, it's fascinating. I watched the video too, you could almost feel the discomfort of the reader when she hadn't got someone she had been able to get info from...
Wow Pob you know your GM stuff as well as how to make lovely pastry:)
Yes, I'd missed out the biofuel one, another potentially enormous pressure that, like feeding the starving, is about...
I think this is a really important issue of for vegans because of the focus on carbon footprint. "What If.." people ate less meat (hurrah) and ate locally grown animals in better conditions and...
I know that if I don't eat or drink Soya I feel worse. My own "at home empirically tested with control" has proved it for me. I heard that in the far east women don't suffer from the menopause...
This is a bit surreal - I've just posted on a tiredness thread - are there two going on? Might be worth checking it out as there were tonnes of useful posts on there (before mine!)
I went Vegan over 10 years ago - the first year was awful. I was exhausted all the time. It took me another year or 2 to pick up. I did eat tonnes of pulses, tofu, grains etc, but my body went...
Thanks guys, that's an encouraging start. My garden is TINY, so copious planting is not unfortunately an option. Bugs don't tend to be a problem, just slugs which I imagine will eat the healthiest...
I've just done a search on "slugs" as the season will soon be upon us and I don't want to start having murderous thoughts:eek:
So, Vegardeners, can I have a
Top Ten Tips For Dealing With...
Thanks Pob, I'll give it a try.
Have you developed a little cut and paste library Korn for those sorts of enquiries?:p
Thanks Pob :) How do you add the oil though to get it breadcrumb stage? I've not made pastry with oil before. I'm definitely going to try it though :D
How does that work?
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I liked the last line.
:D :D :D
Interesting that you should say that as I was beginning to wonder why this debate was getting so "technical". Is it because Vegans feel sometimes that part of being Vegan is being prepared to...
Perfectly put Korn. Re last sentence, have you terminated their membership?
Which tells me it doesn't want to die, so for me to then kill it is cruel and selfish beyond measure. I don't want to be a cruel and selfish person. I find it strange to enjoy feasting on the flesh...
