I hate Unnatural Vegan as an activist with a purple passion, but I think she's a great vegan mom at least. I think she has a good handle on how to feed children a healthy vegan diet without hints of orthorexia or woo woo. You might want to search her videos on vegan babies and pregnancy on...

I would guess it's the exercise. Maybe walk on a smoother terrain or stay away from the staircases at least. Even hiking up an uneven hill is easier on your joints than a lot of stairs. While I think it's possible for people with excessively low-fat plant-based diets to get joint pain, I'm...

I'm sorry to hear that. I love these shoes and so does a colleague at my university (which is where I learned about them) - they beat the crap out of "Chinese shoes" which I think are super cute and are vegan, but they fall apart in less than a year unless you hardly ever wear them. I have a...

Shyvas actually has a good point. If it is their money then of course they do have a say, you can't exactly use your parent's money for bills or shopping or savings to donate, that isn't good for anyone (including you).

They're extremely comfortable. I tend to walk a minimum of 2 miles a day, averaging 4-5 miles pre-Covid, and up to around 8 miles. If you have particular issues with your feet, you could easily add an orthopedic insole.

I am not sure if I posted this before but I love JBU by Jambu. There are an extremely comfortable walking shoe that also looks casually "dressy" (good enough for either doing business or going on a low-key date) for women. They can easily be worn with slacks or a modest skirt, and have a Mary...

Since you are an adult, yes. Even if you weren't yet an adult, doing the right thing is always right.

I totally agree with your general message. When people start to say things to me like "But China...." I always talk about per capita. It boggles my mind how many people ignore per capita in considering scientific problems with animal agriculture, fossil fuels, and even COVID-19. Absolutely...

Thank you for this info. But that's per person. Because their population is so large, it's still a problem and overall their meat consumption is larger than ours. For example, someone in a particular province may find it culturally normative to be mostly plant-based, with only a little animal...

The traditional Chinese diet included red meat a mere average of once a month (or less). All of this is largely Western influence, though I do know pig farming in Asia isn't exactly new or different. Stats show the Chinese only matching and exceeding US meat consumption in the 1990s. As...

I think it's weird that they removed the 7 layer burrito AND tostada even though they recently added a vegetarian menu? Taco Bell is still customizable (even through DoorDash on-line) and is the most widely known fast food taco chain. I'm not sure that Del Taco even exists outside of California...

Well eating animals is linked to many contagious diseases - including COVID. You can add tuberculosis, bird flu, swine flu, Ebola, HIV, and the common cold to that list. Zoonosis is a terrible thing, and doesn't just mean food poisoning or getting malaria from a mosquito. If one believes in...

I can say a new plant milk I tried this year that is absolutely amazing is Chobani Vanilla Oat milk.

I think I might have had a mild case of coronavirus in February. I had fatigue, mild congestion, a dry cough, and shortness of breath from normal walking. My fever was low-grade (about 99, which might be a little high for me, but still under what most doctors look at for a serious illness). My...

Not really, but I never liked meat other than fish, even as a child there were showdowns with my family over an untouched hamburger or a chicken leg I was grossed out by because I thought the veins looked like worms. Gristle made me gag, and I never really understood the point of ham and...

I am still teaching the Gen Z childs about life with animals. Despite any jokes or destractions, I am doing this. My point of saying these things, without the pandemic wine, I am teaching our children. I am happy and I am free, I teach children. About animals. That is my job. Hallelujah.

No. I just had my first wine in three weeks and decided to come here and post. I was never dead, I actually do much better when I stay away from this place, and social media in general. Cutting down on drinking and social media is partly to blame for absences here, and just a life revelation...

What if I have to comfort people's kids? At least two of my high school best friends are nurses. What if one of them dies? One is fat she always has been, what if I have to comfort her kids? I knew your mom in her late teens and early twenties. I love you because I loved her. What if Nurse Sarah...

I wake up thinking about nurses and doctors, and hear the song "Fame" in my head. Remember if you are bored or stifled, your best friend from high school heard Fame while going to nursing school. Her family is potentially dying now. Live her legacy. Love our nurses. I want to incorporate this...

Yeah I know kids naturally love dogs or cats, even birds, but I get a chance because of social distancing to develop a lesson on the Indigenous idea of honoring animals as persons. I get to develop a whole lesson on this. I have to use a "fur box" of non-human animal pelts to do so, but guess...
