A few weeks ago I posted four fabulous reasons to eat less meat in the new year. It turns out I wasn’t the only one thinking along these lines: GoVeg.com put me to shame with their list of 10 Reasons to Go Vegetarian in 2007. The reasons are valid for those who are just thinking […]
I’m now on day 19 of my vegan diet trial (only 5 more days left). I’ve been a rule-obeying supervegan at home, trying out lots of new recipes and delighting in every one.

I’m on day 3 of my new vegan diet, and already the nightmares have begun. Perhaps you know the type? In one dream, I absentmindedly pop a piece of cheese into my mouth. In another, I take a bite into something only to discover it’s an omelet. After each forbidden-food eating incident, I recoil in […]
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 […]
