Halloween has ALWAYS been my favorite holiday. At least as long as I had a favorite holiday. I've been that person for the past five years talking about how Tobe Hooper's original Chainsaw 1974 was "about meat" (in his own words, people threw up on the set due to the rotting animal parts in the...

I'm not sure if anyone here even cares, but I've planned my aging very carefully. Some women are dedicated to girlishly thin, but the thing that always pre-occupied me was HAIR. I noticed as a child of the late 20th century is that a lot of my elders chopped their hair off. Even my mom, at the...

I think there is a clear liberal and conservative divide on vegans and vegetarians. Less than 2% of American registered Republicans identify as EITHER vegetarian or vegan, while between 16-17% of American Democrats are vegetarians, and American Democrats are between 2.5-3 times more likely to be...

I've been posting a lot for the past year or so about the ecological impact of animal agriculture, and particularly the multi-level effects of cattle ranching which have been repeatedly proven for like the past decade to be unsustainable no matter how many times the USDA tries to save the beef...

I found this delicious and simple idea on a diet app, and have thus far enjoyed it on a couple of slices of whole grain seed bread, and on another day, tried it mixed up with salad greens like a "dressing." It could potentially be used on a sandwich in place of hummus, guacamole, or cheese. 1...

In CA we have a petition going around for a moratorium on new factory farms or slaughterhouses: No More Factory Farms In a rare moment of COVID quarantine FOMO, I really wish I was in Sacramento right now. This looks fun. https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article245359360.html

Some background: 7 years ago when I decided to start pursuing a career in environmental science I was on a solo backpacking retreat in Big Sur. Big Sur has depth of meaning for me because of this personal insight and how it shaped my life as a whole. Also, Big Sur has a unique and precious...

After a brief convo in another thread, I decided to try natto! I honestly did not find it that bizarre or shocking or different. I did, however, buy an organic brand from the co-op - maybe the quality was just good? I also loosely followed instructions on how to eat vegan natto on a couple...

I have started meditating more in more in the past few months as a form of stress management. Then I decided to take it a step further and take an in-depth course in mindfulness. Some thoughts I have: - Religion is dead but spirituality is alive. Spirituality is something that must be LIVED...

I'm sure many of you need no introduction to me and my quite large personality ha ha;) but I wanted to start a thread to specifically update my situation. I took a break from Vegan Forum, and also from all forms of activism for a few months. I went through some difficult mental health struggles...

Something that has occurred to me about wool is that in spring/summer sheep really don't need it. It's like how you would get a dog with a heavy coat shaved for his own comfort. Even people who have sheep in sanctuaries have to shave those sheep. So ...how is this not vegan? How is more vegan...

DXE is hosting free, fun on-line conferences for animal rights. Today I went to the first one, we listened to some brief talks and some vegan musicians sharing original songs. Then, we all shared a DXE post on Twitter, then followed each other back so we would all be connected, then we did mass...

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...

I am More Motivated to Move to East Asia After the Trump Acquittal I'm not in a hurry to leave the U.S. but now I'd like to get out of here. I thought briefly last year about living in China to teach English (still could, Hubei province is relatively small and I would rather live somewhere near...

So when I searched this topic, I found nothing except for ads for vegan-specific companies or things related to cooking or food. I think it would be interesting to find the clothing or fashion style of vegans via a poll. I would also to point out, that vintage shopping counts as "vegan" because...

We Don't Need Anymore Airheaded Idiots Misrepresenting Veganism - An Observation The problem with veganism is not "meanness" nor is it "activists" but rather a disproportionate number of vegans being quite airheaded, stupid, uneducated people who advocate a form of veganism that is neither...

These don't have to be vegan, vegetarian or animal rights oriented. I thought it might be informative and entertaining to talk about recent movies we like. I watched The Wrath last night, which is a 2018 Japanese horror film now available streaming on-line. Wow, what a beautiful film with...

To start, if you are pro-extinction/pro-annhilation of all sentient beings I am not talking to you. Youre already so far in the irrational crazy camp I will not bother responding to your posts. However, for all normal vegans who value life on Earth, I have run into a surprising ignorant trend...

While the fires are individually sad or terrifying for the people directly involved, that's not really my...area. What's truly horrific about the fires is their sheer magnitude, widely outpacing area burned recently in California or even the Amazon. Approximately half a BILLION animals have...
