Every year, from the end of November until Christmas Eve, a large Christmas market is set up in the center of Wrocław, Poland. It includes tons of little stalls selling handmade toys, handmade crafts of various sorts, clothes, food,…
Help Vegan Outreach Help Animals (& People)
I recently saw a post over on Vegan Outreach’s blog showing that donations closely correlated with the number of people it could help educate on animal cruelty (in factory farming) and cruelty-free eating. The graph is below. Want to help…
What Vegans Eat (Pie Chart)
I’ve been wanting to share this chart for nearly a month — it is so accurate. People with little experience of veganism or vegans (or vegetarians, for that matter) often think eating vegan entails eating just a few foods (grass,…
Doctor Nails Cancer Risk of Hot Dogs, Bacon, Meat (VIDEO)
This is one of the best talks on veganism I’ve ever watched (and I was raised vegetarian). The doctor, Dr. Neal Barnard, has a great sense of humor and an obviously extensive range and depth of knowledge on the topic.…
Vegetarian Month (Infographic)
Well, Vegetarian Month is about to come to a close, but, for some of us, it’s Vegetarian Year or even Vegetarian Life. The folks over at RetailMeNot.com have created this great infographic below, and I think it helps to highlight…
Vegan Bill Clinton Getting Some Air Time on Sunday
I wrote about Bill Clinton going (almost) vegan back on October 1, 2010. At the time, he was thrilled with the diet, how it made him feel, and his weight loss. Seems he’s still quite happy with it according to comments published in the LATimes on Thursday:

How To: Smoothies
We got on a huge smoothie kick this summer. We discovered that a dinky little blender of ours could actually make them and were making smoothies every day for a week or two. Now, while smoothies are a delicious, special treat, they are not at all difficult to make. However, if you’ve never made one before, you may not believe me. So, I’m writing this short little post (photos included) to tell you how to make smoothies (or, at least, how I like to make them) and to let you know about one of my favorite recipes.
Gelatin Made from Humans — Vegan?
Wow, this is an interesting one. Some scientists are working on creating gelatin derived from human flesh and bones. Seriously — an article has been published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. My mind is a little blank trying to think of what to say about this. On the one hand, I have plenty of thoughts, but on the other hand, I’m in a little bit of shock.
GOOD.is Going Vegetarian for 30 Days
Following in the footsteps of Oprah and the Harpo crew, I guess, the folks over at Good.is have decided to go vegetarian for 30 days.
Vegan World Pie Chart
This is something I ran across awhile back and then ran across again and have wanted to cover for awhile but have put off — a pie chart on what would happen if the whole world became vegan. It’s pretty simple, but definitely fun and worth a quick look and share.
