A British celebrity chef, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, has said what many of us vegetarians are not often courageous enough (or blunt enough) to say — what’s the difference between eating pork and eating puppies? Last I heard, dogs and pigs had…
Plant-Based Diet a Solution for Our Health Crisis?
Before I get into the news, a new report on the benefits of a plant-based diet and its possible role in solving our public health crisis, I thought I’d mention something rather interesting from my life recently. A couple months…
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…
Bill Clinton’s CNN Vegan Interview
It’s Bill Clinton’s 65th Birthday today. And as I previewed, a feature interview on him and his vegan diet was on CNN last night. I’m having trouble finding the full piece (I’ll update this if I do).

4 Vegetarian Restaurants in Prague (Czech Republic)
I went to Prague last weekend with my partner, Marika, as she had a couple days off and I had never been there before. Of course, any time we visit a new city, especially a global city like Prague, we love to scout out some good vegetarian restaurants and health food stores and try out some new food. (You might even say it’s one of our main aims.)
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.
New Weight Study… Which Foods Make You Fat?
I’m not all that interested in weight, to be quite honest. If anything, I need to put on weight. But some recent news on weight gain caught my attention. A new study, Changes in Diet and Lifestyle and Long-Term Weight Gain in Women and Men, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has found that the food you eat may be even more important than the quantity of food you eat when it comes to weight gain…
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.
