After all this hemming and hawing about whether or not I want to go vegan, I’ve decided to just give it a try. So starting January 1st, I’m going to do 24 days of eating vegan. Why 24 days? I figure it will be long enough for me to really get a feel for the […]
It’s getting harder and harder to hide from the fact that eating meat is bad for the planet. The UN’s report Livestock’s Long Shadow was the inspiration for a NY Times editorial this week.
This article is a good reminder not to take fat-free dieting too far: a little fat (preferably something healthy like olive […]
I was happy to find a couple of kitchen gadgets under the tree (well, under the easel - no room for a tree in this tiny apartment!) this year. One thing I’d been needing for a while was a whistling tea kettle. I had developed a bad habit of putting on water for tea and […]
This article about celebrity hangover cures caught my eye because of Moby’s answer:
My hangover cure is pretty complicated. Before you go to sleep, you have to have some sort of food that’s quite salty. I have this vegan stuff called Tofurky, a tofu substitute for turkey, which is really good. I make a sandwich with […]
Despite the fact that I’ve never in my life eaten a Bratwurst, Bockwurst, or Currywurst, I get asked about them on a regular basis. What are they like? What’s the difference between a Cervelat and a Kalberwurst? What kind of chopped-up dead animal parts are in a Schublig? My inquisitors rarely accept “I don’t know” […]

Your body will thank you! The disease-fighting benefits of a […]
SuperVegan Laura Leslie has posted a list of yummy-sounding vegan holiday cookies that she made this year. And she makes an excellent point about vegan cookie dough - you can eat it without fear of the bad things raw eggs might bring (because we all know the dough is the best part).

I recently came across this article discussing the myths and realities of whether athletes need meat to perform at their best. The answer? No!
Vegetarian diets, when properly planned, provide all the nutrients you need, and help prevent and treat disease. Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol […]
I’ve been reading a lot of pro-vegan websites recently, trying to decide if I want to make the move of eliminating eggs and milk from my diet. The vast majority of these sites seem to promote veganism primarily from an animal-rights point of view.
While I see the animal-rights aspect as one of the positives of […]
