hehe beautiful! I'm trying the same tactic on my boyfriend. Not shoving it on him since he does like to hear about it but slowly I'm helping him become more aware.
I told my friends about the authors views on the "violent veggie" and its become a great inside joke between us. :) Now whenever I get wound up about something or attempt to playfully wrestle they...
I completely agree FR. Someday when/if I have offspring of my own they will be raised vegan. Period. I still am complete baffled at people who get up on their soap-box and say that vegan/veggie...
I can't imagion any parent saying that! :confused: Ugh!
A great book to read on fast-food chains and how they are affecting the face of society is "Fast Food Nation". It was a good read and...
Not a bad idea feline. :) First I would have everyone hug eachother for at least 10 seconds (I never understand why people dont spend more time making physical contact with eachother...it feels...
Hahahahaha! :D thanks feline! I used to be called Sunshine but it morphed into Happiness. It takes me very little to be happy. :)
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds...
I had the fine pleasure of seeing a Gray Whale mother and calf while out on the boat I work on....hows that for a job??? I get paid to look at awesome sealife! ;)
Great job Feline!! I can only hope to have a family like that someday. :) Its so wonderful to see the shared passion. I'm working hard to become involved here in my small community. Myself and a...
Up-date: Feel good. I can tell a huge difference if I forget to take my iron for the day. Still need blood-work, things just got too crazy around here and I've been putting it off. Thanks again...
I was already pretty energetic before (with old nicknames like spaz and tweak how could you doubt? ;) )but now I still feel energetic but I dont have that typical "crash" around dinner-time. I can...
I've seen a fish die...<hangs head>...I've acually been the murder of fish.
I used to be a avid fisherperson in my omni days but I would always release the fish (sick i know...to harm something then...
I know a friend who got $10,000 for his nugget. Honest. For research I believe. :D
I agree Tigercub. I wrote that yesterday in a fit of rage so I didn't explain all my thoughts on the subject. There is a trend occuring here in Oregon. School boards are acually allowing schools...
Well, I really wasn't that high. I was bouldering in a cave, which is just chalking up and climbing up/around rocks. The highest you can really get is about 8 feet or so.

This occured in my own state! Are we TRYING to cause obesity in the young children in this company? How could you even question not banning the sale of...
melina - I'm in the same boat as you just a bit further along. I've been vegan for roughly 3-4 months? And I still have products that I have to use up. My indoor soccer shoes have leather and I...

Dianecrna - Perfect! You said just what I was going to say.
Being vegan isn't just about avoiding this or that. Its about dynamic harmlessness. A fish is an animal just as a cow, chicken or pig...
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA........*whew*.....HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHA!
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I can't believe someone acually wrote this paper. wow....
Ok...I'll fill in the facts that I left out from my original post:

2. Not that time of month and my blood pressure was...

sidenote: did you know that they are called the "right" whale because they were considered the "right" whale to hunt? Being slow, floats when killed, and having high oil content. Sick...I...
hey dove,
I just tried the link and it didn't work.
Freaky thing happened yesterday. I just finished climbing in the rock gym and as I was walking off the mats I started to feel really woozy and sweaty. I sat down and really started to loose it,...
It makes me so happy to hear about the wonderful mothers on here that care so much for making that awkward movement into menstration just a bit easier for their girls. I was a late bloomer (late 8th...
I live in oregon...our sunlight is limited. ;) I personally take Veglife VitD, but I just started so we'll see if I feel any results.
It rains more then our fair share here but I kinda like it. This winter has been odd though, not alot of rain...some worries for droughts in the summer. Good to see some fellow west coasters. :) ...
So...I was wondering if anyone had some input for this. I've had this nagging canker sore for about 2 weeks. This is very unusual for me, since in the past I've only had a couple canker sores when...
Your dad is in my thoughts. I'll curl up later and send more positive vibes his way.
By chance have you heard of the study that took two groups in Europe(?) and one in the US. They had the one...

wait...my bad. I just realized then was the first post for you artichoke on this thread. You more then likely weren't talking to me. hehehe sorry.
oh my i hope you are not talking about me aritchoke. I am a vegan! I promise. No meat or animal items here! I was just saying that veganism is ment to be more then just avoiding specific foods...
I'm deeply enjoying this thread and everyones input. I'm new here and a bit shy of talking on such a hot topic but as a marine biology student I thought I'd throw in my two bits:
Oysters are part...
Since we are on the topic of low blood pressure I also have a question.
My blood pressure has always been quite low with a slower heart-rate then most. Nothing to worry about just healthy, active...

Hello one and all,
I'm new here and wanted to extend greetings to everyone. I've been a strict veggie for about 2 years and a vegan for about 2 months. I can't express how excited I am for such...
