Information on vegan lifestyle.
In December 2008, the Dr. McDougall posted a newsletter to his website, entitled The Fat Vegan. Frankly, I loved it. Not for its content, though, but for its honesty. Finally, someone is finally explicitly stating what the modern vegan movement has been so strongly implying: fat vegans are bad for business. PETA has shown a penchant in recent years for sexy ad campaigns, although they haven’t completely foregone all the…
Once upon a time… a long long time ago, there were humans known as hippies. Flowers in their long flowing hair. Women dressed in long flowing skirts. Music in their heads. On June 21, 2009 the hippies made a comeback… to Woodland Hills! I will set the scene for you: Pierce College campus. Huge shade trees on a sunny day. Music by a myriad of bands (my favorite being The Luminaries…
One intrepid dyke asks the age-old question: Do you eat meat? By Sarah E. Brown I recently had dinner with a lesbian friend of mine at a chic vegan restaurant in downtown San Francisco. While we were midway through our meal of lime-marinated oyster mushrooms and tofu-ricotta lasagna, my friend dunked her toasted crostini in sun-dried tomato pesto and was about to take a bite when she blurted out, “Do…
Hi Everyone, HappyCow friends at QuarryGirl.com recently launched an unprecedented investigation into the common ingredients used at a string of vegan restaurants in the Greater Los Angeles area. The results are surprising, alarming, and worth taking a look. QuarryGirl secretly tested the ingredients from 17 so-called “vegan” restaurants to see if they contained traces of egg, casein (a milk derivative), and/or shellfish. Of 17 places they checked, only 10 passed…

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America. It’s called “Ideas for Change in America.” The Ideas for Change in America competition was created in response to Barack Obama’s call for increased citizen involvement in government. The final round of voting began on January 5 and…
The following 4 films, taken together, whether you agree or disagree with any of the details, make an incredibly strong overall argument for immediate present-time action. They provide the “detailed proof” of the potentially hard times ahead and what we can possibly do about them. Here are the links: 1. A Delicate Balance https://rcpt.yousendit.com/636000832/188d769e2e6daac0c0206c0da1c7148e This documentary basically advocates a vegan diet and describes how the health of our bodies and…
An image above Herbivore’s table at the recent AR 2008 conference in Alexandria, Virginia, was a pin which read “There is no such thing as humane meat.” It’s something I wish the organizers of last year’s Taking Action for Animals conference had realized when they had a panel of ranchers who produced what I insist on calling less cruelly produced meat. And it brought to the forefront of my mind…
When I was a child, I learned that creating a fire was an equilateral triangle—you need fuel, air, and heat to cause fire. Take away any of these, and the fire dies or simply won’t start. A similar approach can be taken to vegan activism—three prongs to use when trying to convince people to reduce or (preferably) eliminate their consumption of animal products. First, we remind people of the animal…

There have been two unchanging constants in Quivers’ life since kicking side with Howard Stern some 27…
Collie’s death destroyed owner’s appetite for meat From cleveland.com – Letter to Dog Lady – Dear Dog Lady: OK, this may sound strange but since I put my beloved Sadie, a 13-year-old Border collie, to sleep six weeks ago, I can’t eat meat. It just disgusts me to think of eating a dead animal. I have always been a huge fan of hot dogs and good old Midwestern steaks, but…
Body odour of Non-vegetarians by Maneka Gandhi (Bihar Times) I will not sit at a table with dead bodies or people eating them. By now this is so well known that internal airlines never even ask what meal preference I have and no stranger sitting next to me orders meat . I cannot bear the smell or the look of the meat. I cannot bear the smell of the person…
