Guys, guys! The movie 'The Happening' was shown on the tv last night, of all things! What a coincidence!
Has anyone else seen this film? I thought it was fantastic, but apparently it had received...
That's okay, Risker, no harm done. Luddite, tree hugger, greeny eco loonie, I suppose I should be used to it by now!
Perhaps you could pm me the particular points of the debate as the thread you...
As far as vegan laws go, I wonder who would enforce the laws? Our conscience should of course, but for the rogues of society will we see the rise of the Vegan Police (Scott Pilgrim anyone?) :p
Good thoughts, Andy.
Because of the completely irresponsible behavior of beekeepers in the last 50 years, there is a monopoly on pollination (which is increasing).
Yes, honeybees do pollinate...
Not sure if this counts as comfort food but lately I am snacking on popcorn every other day.
I've also had serious cravings for cornflakes too.:confused:
I'm with Bearshark, chips.. or as we say in NZ 'chups'.
I like cornchups and salt and vinegar chups. Oh and cake. I loooove de cake.
Generally as long as I can devour it in jumbo proportions...
Yes, being in sync with nature, working with her is of course good.
Natural pesticides (hand picking, birds, hens, etc), usually are used in organic farming.
Look, I'm no expert, I don't...
Hm. Well I'm not an expert in hydroponics, but it has never seemed very natural to me. Working with the soil and the seasons instead of against it to produce masses of mono food is my bias.
I do...
Hey all. Thanks for all your different responses. I enjoyed reading them.
Yes, see I do agree with you both. It is just not possible to forage for food as there is not enough to go...
Oh, I should have mentioned this is not my list. It's author can be contacted by the email address found at the bottom of the article.
I'm not aware of any arguments against eating fruits either,...
Hi all,
I stumbled upon this website (see bottom of this post), and consequently this article.
I had thought about plants sensitivities before actually, when I became aware of the tragedy that...
Excuse. Me. Dear. But dressing up in drag does not qualify someone as "messed up".
Of course Gaga is a woman. Someone would have to be of the intelligence of a small child to not understand that...
OH! BAD BREATH! :bigsmile2:
Yes, Cherry, she has been very defensive of gays. I do like that she has been outspoken in that way but that meat dress stunt was completely distasteful. Lost respect from me.
I can eat more! (without falling ill) :faint_smilie:
Seriously. I'm convinced my stomach has grown! It's great! 2x pudding.
My flat mates always say they can't believe the amount of food I can...
Hm. What's a sandwich cake, betty? Is it a name for a cake with layers? (random guess here..)
Oh and welcome to the Forum :faint_smilie:
D, you're a native NYorker, you are so very cool :cool: I don't doubt it.
I think it's excellent you started up your own group. Please, don't move to Wellington - promote veganism in Nelson, where...
Okay, fair call. You sound sensible. Not like me. I'd probably fake meningitis just to go out and then end up eating cheap bread and potatoes for a week, resulting in me getting more sick :o Then I'd...
Oh say no way! Well, that's what sick days are for! :p Aren't they? Can I get an AMEN!
Hey did you come along to the peaceful protest at Parliament last Wednesday? It was great!
Welcome Bearshark -!-
You should help vounteer with SAFE (Save Animals From Exploitation) or The Vegetarian (they're practically vegan these days) and/or Vegan Societies. It's a great way to meet...
Oh and the other day, the same flat mate tried to tell me that soy milk is "artificial"! Pshh! Soymilk is no less artificial than growth hormones and antibiotics in cows milk!
As emzy1985...
Yesterday afternoon..
Flatmate - But eating meat is natural. *points to Shelley* (the friendly blackbird I feed and take photos of sometimes) Look; your bird (as if I own it:umm:) is eating worms,...
Whatever happened to water! Water is much better for you, Woolley. Personally I think that you drink far too much soy milk. My flatmates don't even have that much moo milk!
Being a guy too, I...
Is there something particularly negative about woman/men dressing up in drag, Blueberry? I hope you didn't say this to your children as an insult, as homophobia is no less offensive than meat eating...

tonight, i went to the beginners yoga class then we had a feast. so...
so, i assume at least a few of you have read/heard about the upcoming debate over dolphin rights. in short, dolphins are smarter than apes and most likely will be treated as "non-human persons" which...
exactly. cadbury's main motivation for catering for other people (those who believe in fair trade and vegan values) is money. this is the same reason the all animal food/clothing/entertainment...
thanks for that, harpy.
it is interesting that the people behind certain labels should beat around the bush with what they decide to tell us with their packaging, anything to make another dollar!...
it is not a matter of opinion. if the producers equipment handles milk on the same line that makes the chocolate you call vegan how can you feel comfortable w knowing that? there's a very high (70%...
i am certain that these are not vegan. well, they aren't here in nz. i read on the back of the block several times that the chocolate is made in a factory that also handles milk, therefore not vegan....

also, just had a thought while showering..
if it is the city you are wanting to escape from, nelson would be ideal. beautiful south island landscape. and just think, on the odd weekend you could...

also i know that havelock north (which is just...
