It has been a blast writing for Veggie Chic. In the process I’ve become more thoughtful about the foods I put in my body, and I’ve definitely become more enthusiastic about the great wide world of vegetarian deliciousness out there. Plus I’ve met some wonderful people along the way.
I’ll still be writing at my personal […]
OK, enough of this vegetarian crap. After 18 years of asceticism, I’m ready to start eating flesh again. I just can’t resist it any more. It’s just so… appealing. How can I say no to dead cow? I’m only human, you know. So tonight I’m going out to find an animal, hack it up, and […]
Reading this article about the recent vegan accomplishments of Stella McCartney, Natalie Portman, and Heather Mills, I started thinking about the intersection of celebrity and vegetarianism/veganism. Specifically, what does news about vegan celebrities do for the image of veganism?
On one hand, celebrities are often seen as trend setters and thought leaders. Celebrity endorsements get people […]
Reader Presh recently asked:
I would be curious how your vegetarian readers deal with friends who are carnivores and feel the need to explain why meat is good.
I’m not even a vegetarian, but I experience negative energy when I order vegetarian meals at restaurants with friends. It’s funny to hear the childish responses–from otherwise very smart […]
Here we are, another brand new year. Naturally, lots of people are making resolutions, and many of those resolutions have to do with food and eating. Losing weight tops a lot of lists, as does getting healthier. One’s food intake obviously has a lot to do with these goals.
Healthy eating is one of my personal […]
In a recent comment, Kristy notes that even though she is now a vegan, she has “a ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ policy about ingredients at restaurants.” In other words, while she prepares vegan food for herself when she’s in control, she doesn’t worry too much about hidden non-vegan ingredients in food that is prepared for […]
Several months ago, a friend of mine told me she was forcing herself to drink a small can of tomato juice each morning, even though she despised the stuff. I asked why she was drinking it, then. “Because I’m trying to get in three servings of vegetables a day,” was her answer. We chatted a […]
Yesterday I read a post on Almost Vegetarian about a new processed food from Oscar Mayer which promises you’ll be able to get the thing “From Fridge to Mouth in 60 Seconds.” The sandwich is full of unhealthy ingredients and non-nutritious additives, yet it’s being marketed using the word “healthy”.
Who still thinks that their diet […]
Many countries have extra ’sin taxes’ on items such as cigarettes and alcohol. The main argument for such taxes is that they discourage consumption of these items, while at the same time raising money for the government (sometimes to fund special projects, sometimes not).
This little article about a proposed tax change in Norway got […]
The bad news, which I’ve mentioned on Veggie Chic before, is that livestock are doing massive amounts of harm to the planet. As an example, each dairy cow produces around 120 pounds of wet manure per day, according to the EPA , not to mention the greenhouse gasses they emit. This waste is wreaking havoc […]
