Animal Aid launches UK’s first Vegan Month

Nowadays, it's usually called "Evaporated cane juice." I don't know what regulations they have against calling plain old sugar that.
Same thing with dairy; people always say, "I don't drink that much milk," if I mention how bad dairy is. Nobody drinks that much milk; where is it all going?
Agreed; I've been leaning on a local eatery to expand their vegan offerings. They're a tiny store with a few very excellent vegan things—their "Very Veggie" soup, as well as an amazing wheat-free,...
Most people believe animals are necessary to sustainability, because they produce fertilizer. Is it true that there are no veganic farms--at least on a large scale? (I know of a date farm in...
Brooklyn is NYC; I think you're the closest person to me (I'm in Manhattan.)
Give a shout; maybe we can round up some other veg-heads.
Cascara sagrada is a "laxative for a moving experience." It's commonly known to be the "colon blow" of herbal teas.
A vegan diet may have fewer toxins than the omnivore's diet, but no diet is toxin-free--unless you're a breath-arian, and even that's debatable.
Is Red 40 the one made of beetle shells?
Many raw foodists favor raw honey pretty exclusively as a sweetener.
I didn't see this one listed anywhere here:
101 Reasons Why I'm a Vegetarian
There's now a book as well.
Not unlike Wal*Mart...the first time she went into a Wal*Mart and the greeters set upon her, my 73-year-old mother said to herself, "These people are doing something right!"
I've heard more than...
Farmers markets feed the 100-mile diet
By Victoria Spencer
If the food hasn't been grown within 100 miles of where we live -- we won't buy it. That is the pledge concerned foodies across the...
Lucky you; I had torrential nosebleeds when I was a little kid, and nobody had a clue that it might be dairy-related. I didn't quit until I was 38.
It's about time! When are you coming to New York?
My sister gets a look in her eyes like a heroin addict when I suggest to her that dairy might be the cause of all the "childhood" diseases she's gotten in the past few years--tonsillitis, ear ache,...
Coconut Craze Soy Delicious! OMG!
Yeah, like "Chubby Hubby" and "Ben's Heart Attack."
I'm not holding my breath; at least we have "Purely Decadent" Soy Delicious here in the States.
Over the years, there has been a controversy over McDonald's using beef extract to flavor the fries; I am unclear if they've stopped doing this.
But true, I don't expect places like McDonald's to...
Well, is he in danger of dying soon? My dad died suddenly at the age of 56 after years of ill health--and I ended up worse off. Good luck.
In this world, you're a vegetarian if you say you are....
Exactly; that's why my sister is a vegetarian who eats chicken "if she has to." She's an accountant who works from home, but when she travels it's so catch-as-catch-can, she just goes with the flow.
Trader Joe's has a 99-cent pound of tofu as well.
I never go to WholeMart anymore--and I admit I used to go there a lot. Ever since Trader Joe's opened their Union Square store, I don't find a...
Most people with gout are just told to "limit" the amount of meat they eat, or the kinds of meat. Gout is a form of arthritis (sometimes called "gouty arthritis") caused by the formation of uric acid...
I've baked at least five different varities from this book, so I can say with certainty: They Rock! No photos; I was in too much of a hurry to eat them!
I also got to go to the book-launch party...
Well, actually I was taking great quantities of it by the spoon when I was giving platelets regularly, to build my hemoglobin up. I don't find it to be bad at all, which is a good thing, because I...

I wouldn't have known that when I was 12; I didn't even know what an avocado was--or whether it was edible. We only had iceberg lettuce..."and we had to drink tea from a rolled-up newspaper."
Hope so...
And now, for something completely different:
http://www.bizarro.com/
Well, I got the Puffins the other day, and now I can say they're totally irresistable--like vegan Cap'n Crunch! Omigod!

Does anyone avoid chocolate because it can't be locally-grown? Just thought I'd ask.
Don't you think there's a higher percentage of actors/actresses and performance artists who are vegan, just because they've found that being vegan makes you look so damn good?
Now, I cited Dr. Mercola because he's a bigger quack than most--and therefore an easy target.
I'm inclined to agree with these; vaccinations are overused--as are antibiotics--and fluoridation of...
Ever notice how most people who drink diet soda are fat?
I'm just saying that when I've cited them and quoted [John Robbins or Dr. Spock, for instance], people want to know why it wasn't the top story on ABC News. Instead the top story ends up being toxic...
What, like B12 deficiency? It's not even just a question of laziness, but most omnivores will tell you that the higher-quality sources of calcium, protein, and B12 come from animal products.
For...
Well, even without the nasties, she really didn't mention that milk contains calcium but not the magnesium to balance it. This can lead to cardiac arrhythmia.
Why can't there be some mainstream paper about this; no matter how right-on Neal Barnard is, he's not a "real" doctor like Dr. Mercola! (That is,omnivores complain there are no mainstream voices in...
On a board like this one, where you can only be a member of the forums if you agree with everyone else, I think it's vital to have "trolls" to point out potential opposing viewpoints.
When I first...
Marigold bouillion powder? Like calendula? That's bitter!
"Loads of flavour," yeah!
I could have checked the whole list, but I left a few blank. ;)
I'm just looking at what I'm eating as I type this, and most of it is protein: Tofurky sausage in a whole wheat bun, sauteed fava...
And you know if you read it on the internet, it must be true!
