I just made some Natural Desserts vegan instant vanilla pudding with coconut milk. So thick and...yum! I couldn't wait for it to finish setting in the fridge, so I licked the mixer beaters. And the...

I tried kombucha for the first time today. It was the Synergy Trilogy. I liked the taste, but hate the way it made me feel. Not "sick", per se, but definitely a bit off. First I got this weird buzz...

It's one of the inevitable consequences of having an animal companion. We get them for such a fleeting moment and then they get sick and watching them go through prolonged suffering is almost...

I lost a dog to renal failure when she was only five years old. To this day I blame it on the Science Diet soft food we let the vet convince us to put her on due to skin allergies. This was almost a...

Damn! You all in the UK get informational brochures. All we have received here in the States is conflicting news, conspiracy theories, widespread panic and racially fueled animosity.



I don't...

What I cannot understand is why Mexico and the US are the only two countries that have seen consistent human to human transmission. Other countries are having little sporadic cases here and there,...

Seasonal flu does mutate, but some people develop a slight immunity to repeated strains that are closely related, which means they can be exposed to influenza and not feel symptoms (at that point...

It's scary because it's new and little is known about it. It's difficult to tell the difference between this strain and seasonal strains, so it's incredibly hard for scientists and doctors to monitor...

Congratulations, Veganfamily! Little Jeevan is beautiful :)

Hell, I have a friend who got a nasty, nasty stomach virus back in December on the same day her sister had a baby. What does she do? Goes to the hospital, keeps puking in the visitor restroom, but...

I know the concern here in the States is that they're now discovering it is popping up in patients previously considered outside of the "at risk" cetegory. For example, there is a pregnant woman in...

I think the reason this particular strain is so frightening for people is because:

1. It's one scientists and doctors have never seen and there is no clear-cut answer to how easily it spreads nor...

Well, it's a known fact that Americans tend to abuse the emergency room system here. People go to the ER for things as benign as colds and migraines (not that migraines are fun, by any stretch of the...

They're asking people here in the States to please call your doctor before showing up at the doctor's office, especially if your doctor's office does not have a separate waiting room for sick and...

Technically I think they've only confirmed nine deaths so far worldwide (twelve at the most). Mexico was reporting that there had been "hundreds" of deaths, but so far the samples tested have come up...

How are the stats looking in the UK, herbwormwood? The news has been slow here today. Not that it's necessarily a great sign or that there haven't been anymore cases, just that we haven't seen a...

It's good to know there hasn't been any news of this hitting Korea, jsb. It's been all over the news here. Although it was nice going to Yahoo News, CNN and MSNBC and not having the whole "death...

Oh yeah, I remember SARS. My son was just an infant when that was going to be the "next major global pandemic". I was terrified at the time. Just before that we were all going to get Anthrax from...

We had our first case in Georgia confirmed today. A woman was visiting friends or relatives in LaGrange on her way back to Kentucky from Cancun. Of course, the media is now saying just because more...

Same here. Any time a life is cut short it is a tragedy. :(

I was horrified when I read about that on the news this morning, Lorikan. Thus far there has been no evidence to suggest this flu strain (H-something or other...it's the flu) even originated in pigs....

Welcome to the Vegan Forum, Carman. Veganism is not a weight loss plan. In fact, using a vegan diet solely as a means to lose weight can prove unhealthy. I'm not saying that is the approach you are...

My hope is that there will not be any unnecessary slaughter of pigs because of the panic. Thus far (unless, of course, the government knows something they're not telling us), they have yet to find a...

It doesn't say anything yet, as there have been no suspected cases here in Georgia; however, there were a few suspected cases in South Carolina, one state north of us after some high school seniors...

That's very true, Ruby Rose, about putting the number of deaths into the perspective of the immense population in Mexico - particularly Mexico City. The news has just been great about whipping the...

Over the weekend, the news did nothing but panic the world with speculations of a "global pandemic that would rival the Spanish flu". Now they're saying unless you've traveled to Mexico or taken care...

New confirmed cases keep creeping up here in the States. It's not surprising because the timing of this flu outbreak in Mexico coincided with Spring break for many high school and college students...

People always say, "ahhhh spirulina tastes like nori". Maybe my taste buds are whack, but I don't think it tastes anything like nori. I love nori and could eat it by itself all day long. Spirulina?...

I made up a batch of simple seitan from the VCON, dredged a few slices in cornmeal and chili powder, fried it in a bit of olive oil and drizzled the pieces with homemade BBQ sauce and ate it on a...

One of my hands-down favorite snacks is a handful of black seedless grapes. They're especially satisfying on a hot day when you need a quick snack. I usually wash up the entire bunch and put them in...

Honestly, I find vegan food to be much tastier and satisfying than animal products. I used to struggle frequently with nausea, bloating, indigestion, etc. Now I feel satiated, but not sickeningly...

When I was pregnant I had horrible morning sickness. I found the only things I could keep down (thus craved immensely) were cucumber slices soaked in vinegar and apple juice. I drank gallons of apple...

I ordered this cookbook along with VCTOTW and I've been drooling over the recipes and photographs throughout the day. Some of the recipes call for ingredients I can't readily buy at the local grocery...

Yay! I got my copy in the mail yesterday and couldn't wait to try one of the recipes out. I wanted to go with something simple, because I already had the ingredients on-hand to make the yellow...

Same here. I used to be very high-strung, moody, easily stressed. I feel more at peace now. It's difficult to describe. I find myself not feeling as anxious about things in my life as I used to.

Every summer we grow yellow squash, zucchini, pickling cucumbers, hot peppers, green beans and tomatoes. We're going to try and grow sweet corn again this year organically, although last time we had...

Here in the States, Starburst jellybeans do not contain gelatin (but the regular candies do, as you said); however, one of the ingredients is a "confectionary glaze". Google results haven't yielded...

-2 flax seed waffles
-cup of coffee
-a handful of black seedless grapes
-my homemade baked mac 'n "cheese"
-a HUGE salad with oil and vinegar dressing
-sauted portobello marinated in mojito...

That right there would have burned me up. Who does she think she is not only questioning your values and beliefs, but your parenting skills as well?! :mad: I would definitely contact corporate...

Breakfast: Banana smoothie
Lunch: Salad with homemade dressing
Dinner: Whole wheat pita pizza with Roma tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, kelp flakes and FYH Monterey Jack "cheese"

Now I'm going to...
