I’ve spent a lot of time wondering why more vegetarians are female. Interestingly, I think the proportion of male/female vegans might be somewhat lower (ie, closer to equal), but overall there do seem to be less men who are or would even consider going veg. My question: Why?
At first I thought, well, duh. Guys are [...]

Wow–a great article comparing the effect of eating locally vs. eating veg on climate change. Guess which wins?

Veg for Life?

I almost at bacon at dinner tonight. There was a “celebrity chef” at our dining hall, and he had made several exciting vegetable dishes. I took large spoonful of the cabbage without noticing the label (who puts bacon in cabbage, anyway?!), and nearly dropped my fork when I was about to take a bite and [...]
Veganizing!

I’m working on shifting all my cosmetics & toiletries over to vegan-friendly brands. As I’ve mentioned earlier, this is a slow process for me, because I can see myself getting completely overwhelmed and obsessed over the idea of “purification,” and I definitely don’t want that to happen. So I’m just doing it a little at [...]
I Love Food

Hrmm…I wanted a heart symbol in the title, but I really hate it when people use the word heart as a verb, so I’ll just stick with love.
I was talking with a vegan friend the other day and we both realized that we love food so much more than we did when we ate meat. [...]
All the Small Things

Often, when I am with friends or at a party or something, I get offered a non-vegan snack or desert–most people get that I don’t eat cheese, but they forget that there are also plenty of animal products in cookies, muffins, snack foods, etc. My first reaction is automatically ‘No-it’s not vegan, so I won’t [...]

The Problem with Pollan
Posted in Books, tagged food chain, happy meat, Pollan on April 2, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I just read the famous/infamous (depending on which section of the foodie world you come from) Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A History of Four Meals. It’s–let me put in politely–an interesting book. Actually, Pollan did a good job researching and describing the industrial agriculture system. But after that section, he revealed the [...]
