Farm stand veggies rock

Last week we were driving down a country road in Georgia (in the southeastern US) and came across a roadside farm stand. On a whim we decided to stop and see what we could find.
I’m so glad we did. The variety of fruit and vegetables on offer was impressive, and the quality was much higher […]

To file under “products the world doesn’t need”

I’m enjoying my visit to the US, and especially enjoying the various foodstuffs that I get to eat here that I can’t find back at home in Switzerland. While a lot of these America-specific foods are fabulous, several others leave me scratching my head and saying “huh?”
For example, there is this product: Special K2O Protein […]

Veggie Links for 29-May-2007

Elisa has an interesting post about her struggles with planning a green, vegan wedding.

Tired of being asked why you’re a vegetarian? Maybe it’s time we start asking omnivores, “Why aren’t you a vegetarian?”

Vegetarian New York City: Vatan

I didn’t get a chance to go there on this trip, but another of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in NYC is Vatan, an Indian restaurant in midtown.
The food is all-you-can-eat, but not buffet-style. Each person is brought a little taste of each and every item on the menu, and you are free to request more […]

Blogger responses to ‘Death by Veganism’

A couple days ago I posted about a New York Times opinion piece entitled Death by Veganism. I wasn’t the only blogger that was moved to do so - here are some links to what others had to say:

Vegan bashing in the news

An opinion piece entitled Death by Veganism in The New York Times is getting a lot of attention these days. The author of course starts out by mentioning the recent case of a baby who died of malnutrition whose parents happened to be vegan. And of course she leaves out any discussion of the number […]

Vegetarian New York City: Gobo

I have a huge list of restaurants I like to visit when I go to New York, but this week’s trip was so short I had to choose just a couple to visit. First on my list was Gobo, a vegetarian haven in Greenwich Village.
I’ve tried so many things from their menu (which you can […]
