Regarding animals feeling empathy, in The Inner World Of Farm Animals, there are stories that I believe demonstrate this. It is most obvious among the extremely traumatized/sick animals who are then...
*nods* That will definitely do it.
I can see that. I know of one competitive figure athlete who keeps her total intake low but wants X amount of protein each day. Protein shakes help her achieve this.
Obviously, people don't agree...
I wish I could offer an opinion, but I haven't tried a hemp-based protein shake. I only have hemp seeds to grind and add to stuff.
Pure Advantage's Pea protein is pretty good, especially if you...
I really like it. I'd love to see "Grief" in there. Reading about how animals grieve after losing their babies and their farm friends really touched me, and I think it's one of those emotions that...
Oh no, the image isn't coming up for me. I'm dying to see this.
I just saw a Food Network commercial featuring 2 guys doing the BBQ thing, and one was wearing this very same image. I thought immediately of your t-shirt idea, Bonzo. I would LOVE to have your...
I'd be happy to tweet about it!
Thank you for sharing, Cookey. I have 2 kids as well and worked out right up to the day of delivery with both. :) It's always fun to meet others of the same mind.
I'm always questioning things, looking to see if I can do better, hoping to avoid doing something potentially harmful down the road. I agree that 16% is not very controversial, but I've read so many...
Thank you for the reply. I agree that extra protein alone won't do much. Obviously one needs to actually exercise. :D
I guess my question is what is "enough". I'd be curious to see what...
Wow, what an experience!
As a customer, I often check online for reviews of businesses before I visit/contact them. I'm always thankful to those who share their thoughts, and in the case of this...
Do you have an idea of how much you take in though? Have you experimented at all? Are you happy with your progress? (My apologies for all the questions. :) I don't meet many people who weight train...
Vegan Fitness is where I found Vegan Strength. :) Some more helpful info here:
Vegan Bodybuilding
(With all this to read, you do run the risk of suffering from a wicked case of Analysis...
Few seem to agree on the necessary level of protein for strength training. I agree that excessive amounts aren't healthy. I've seen recommendations for 1+ gram per pound, tried it, and ended up with...
Be sure and keep track of your progress. It'll be interesting to see how your body responds.
I have discovered that most people find the diet aspect, any diet, the most frustrating when really...
No change, but I think that's because I was careful with my diet before becoming vegan. Plus I work out, so I suspect my body is at its natural weight.
My body composition has continued to change...
I use Pure Advantage Pea Protein and Pure Advantage Vegan Complete. The Complete is a little tough taste-wise, so I use a mixture of the two.
Both can be found at Vitacost:...
I'm the official Spider Catcher in the house, though I'm teaching the girls to do it.
We have a couple of types that tend to be outside in our garden, but a few sneak in. I'll leave the wispy,...
Thanks for posting the link, David. I like Campbell and am always interested in hearing what he has to say.
*nods* That's my fear.
I definitely support more research in this area, but the...
Figuring out what to cook and eat was my biggest concern.
I found getting my hands on good cookbooks really helped me learn to work with food I had either been ignoring (some veggies and tofu) or...
No, there is no crab cake recipe. But I tell ya...the zucchini cakes are a fantastic substitute. My SO loves my old crab cake recipe, and when I made the zucchini ones, he was extremely impressed (he...
Me too! :D
I love the way this book is set up. Like Jessica said, the author lays out menus by themes and by seasons. The photographs and colors are beautiful too. I know some don't really care...
Another vote for the Tofu Scramble and the Scones!
I'm glad to hear the cupcakes are good. I've been avoiding cupcakes for a while ~ had some trouble with other recipes early on ~ but I'm...
Oh my gosh! I was thinking of Iron Maiden's tour shirts as I typed that. :) All 4 of us have one or two in each closet.
Assuming a little extra doesn't mean $40+ (concert t-shirts drive me nuts for that reason), sure. It's not like I'm buying them to clothe my kids, who grow like weeds. This would be a special...
Will do!
Thank you for the tips and the well wishes. Fortunately, this will be indoors, so I won't have to worry about weather. (If it were outdoors, I'd flat out refuse to do it, as it'll be December in...
:lol:
I'm similar to you, Panzer and Roxy. It started out for health reasons, and then as I learned more about the food industry and its practices, I realized veganism fell right into line with...
I prefer to get the shot. I've had flu in the past ~ when I passed up the vaccination ~ and it knocked me on my butt.
Hi Ross. :) Welcome.
Oh, I love it!
May I suggest "Grief" being planted somewhere close to the gut, as that's where I seem to feel aggravation first. :rolleyes:
Okay, all kidding aside ~ I'd buy that shirt.
Regarding warning labels on fast food and such, the food industry is simply too powerful. They donate tons of money to campaigns and get thanked with legislative action that is favorable to them....
Exactly. I see double cheeseburgers on sale for $2 and bell peppers at $3.69 a pound.
Now, there are ways around that specific bell pepper issue, but I point it out because I think it...
So far, I'm okay with non-vegan smells. But this could be because I've only been vegan for 4+ months. I may feel differently a year from now.
I agree too!
I'm not stick thin anymore ~ had to stop eating to achieve that ~ but I'm in good shape. I have 2 girls, one of whom is 14 and at the age where she is painfully aware of how much...
That's a good point, and I see that all the time ~ fast food joints advertising their $2 Deal for whatever, and it's never anything healthy. This makes it so easy to pull into the Drive Thru on the...
Hi Guys,
After practicing quite a few recipes just to make sure I can pull this off reasonably well, I've decided to go for it and offer a free Vegan Bake Table at our local holiday craft fair. ...
I think there's a good chance that this will be mandatory for you, though you should go ahead and ask if you aren't sure.
Yes, I can see fiber working pretty well. At the very least, it will fill you up before meals, reducing your intake naturally.
