Information on vegan lifestyle.
A few weeks ago, I ended up racing a friend of mine who thought he could beat me in a footrace. Yes, it was as ridiculous and childish as it sounds, but bear with me a second. During the race, I remember hearing my other friend, who was umpiring the race, yell ‘vegan for the win!’ as I crossed the finished line. We all laughed, of course, but that proclamation…

I heard about it the way one might hear about secret caves, fountains of youth, lost civilizations — through the veg grapevine. I had already visited the vegetarian cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh in India, having thoroughly enjoyed myself there while basking in the delicious compassion of vegetarianism, so I knew I had to go to Ban Phra Baht Huay Tom while in Thailand. About two and a half hours…

As a China 22 (the cohort year) United States Peace Corps Volunteer, I knew that being vegan in another country would sometimes be tough. The first thing we do here in China is live in a hotel where breakfast is provided, and I ate most of my calories during morning meals during that time. In the beginning, due to culture shock and language barriers, I was afraid to venture outside…
When I went vegan it was overnight. I pretty much went to bed with chicken wing sauce on my fingers and woke up pressing tofu. In fact, my whole vegan saga is the subject of the new book The Skeptical Vegan (Skyhorse Press) coming out at the end of July. (Make sure to read through to the end for a GIVEAWAY!) I was the last person on the planet that you’d…
Whichever reason prompted you to go on the vegan path, it all started with one person making a choice. But ‘no person is an island’ says the oh-so-true edict, and many vegans have long standing relationships with others who have not (yet) made the same choice. This is the case with my love and I. When we became a couple she was already a vegan. I respect her choice, and…

They put beloved hamburgers, ice cream and chicken nuggets side to side with their vegan counterparts to see which ones skeptics preferred! And what was the verdict? You might be surprised:…

The vegan approach has it all. 1. It’s an ethical way to live. My motto: “If you don’t have to kill to live, why do it?” 2. It’s ecologically sound. You literally save the planet! 3. It’s healthy for you. The science is clear. What’s not to like? Eating a healthy vegan diet can take some time and work. So what do you do if you’re NOT a 5-Star-Chef and/or…
