    I've gotten really into animality and applied ethics, ecofeminism, and whole new areas of liberation philosophy and radical democracy. I'm finding my career niche, which I thought would never, ever...

    Re: The problem with the term 'dietary vegan'

    Russ, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm in a very similar boat as you. I simply can't afford to buy most vegan soaps and detergents. I canfind them, but the laundrey detergent is literally 4 times...
  4. Re: If you could live ANYWHERE in the USA, where would you live?

    It's incredibly easy to be vegan in the Philadelphia area. Alot of churches, but they tend to be the gorgeous kind that add to the architectural decor of the city. I live just outside the center...

    Re: What are some of your favorite unexpected effects of your veganism?

    That Veganism *can* cause heart attacks. I needed laundrey detergent and the cheapest one that was animal friendly/cruelty free was $10!!! For a really small amount! That's more than 5 times the...
  7. Sticky: Re: Are there any good arguments PRO eating meat at all?

    Yeah, the essentialist argument is one that's really pokey... a woman I work with seems to be on a campaign to get me to tell her it's ok to eat meat. Her biggest selling point is that "We're...

    Re: Counting Calories

    I have in the past, but it's not a good thing for me. I get OCD about the whole thing and my calories keep getting less and less until someone has to snap me out of it. But ah... it could be...

    Re: The Body Shop - what a crock!

    Re: What are some of your favorite unexpected effects of your veganism?

    Honestly? I'm getting WAY more protein now, just because for the first time in my life, I'm nutritionally conscious about what I'm putting in my mouth. I haven't lost any weight, but I feel cleaner...

    Re: The problem with the term 'dietary vegan'

    Thanks Roxy - and I know it's worth it. The biggest thing for me is changing my mindset totally, and not just setting up labels and limitations for myself (I have compulsive issues and I know what...

    Re: The problem with the term 'dietary vegan'

    I totally agree, and your analysis is really strong! I just call dietary vegans "strict vegetarians" and then use plain old "vegetarian" for lacto-ovo people.

    That's just what I've always...
  16. Re: "You're not anthropomorphizing too much, are you?"

    All these "Christians" who think that animals are just machines with no souls apparantly aren't up their theology... animals have souls, generally, just not "rational" souls. Which, given the...
  17. Re: Anyone else overcome laziness around food preparation?

    Re: Vegetarian having a hard time giving up dairy

    I just want to say that I found what you said here, and in the post prior to this, extremely helpful. I'm transitioning to veganism myself, but I can't go cold tofu, and the idea of not being able to...
