    CA Save our Trees!

    Its sad to think about how old this tree probably is, how long it took for it to grow to that massive size, only to end up being cut down for a reason that is probably irrelevant.

    Is veganism still spreading or has it slowed down?

    I'm wondering if veganism is still spreading fast like it was when I became vegan, or if its slowing down. I became vegan about 5 years ago, and at that time it was basically everywhere, on the news, internet, friends, family, it was the new thing everyone was talking about, though not everyone...

    Would you start a relationship with a non-vegan?

    wow, good answers. I guess it really is a matter of perspective. You could start dating someone who eats meat or is vegetarian in hopes that that person will come to understand your own point of view and even agree with it and turn vegan. Though this could take a while, i know couples that have...

    Is it vegan?

    I agree, anything that comes from an animal that is "meant" to be eaten or drunk is not vegan in my eyes, besides that though, i would rather not buy things that have tons have ingredients, especially ingredients i cant pronounce, if i cant pronounce them that's pretty much a sign that i should...

    Do you drink tea?

    If i ever do drink coffee its usually black coffee with no sugar, but my morning drink and general daily warm drink is almost always green tea. Sometimes i would have iced coffee or coffee with grind ice, probably with no sugar too.

    Why do vegans in america eat honey and still call themselves vegan?

    I have met quite a few vegans in america, and ALL of them so far have said that they eat honey.. Some also eat eggs from chickens they know are living good - this is still not vegan though.. Is there something i'm missing here about being vegan in america?

    How's your weather?

    Its been raining for the past few weeks almost non-stop here! There are a few days that have a little bit of sunshine, but that's just temporary and lasts only a few hours, then it goes back to being rainy!

    Some people are disconnected

    Sometimes it shocks me, i don't know why, i know it shouldn't, but it just does sometimes. To listen to things some people say, especially when they are in a sort of vegan environment/community just leaves me shocked and speechless sometimes.

    Disagreements with non-vegan sibling

    I have dealt with a lot of those, i usually just back down. For the open minded, many different people can have some affect on them, but for the close minded i think only certain people will have an affect, i know some people who are in a relationship where one partner is vegan and the other is...

    Is it compatible with ethical veganism to buy an omnivore a non-vegan meal?

    In cases like this i would try to be up front about it from the beginning, telling her your'e vegan and that in general you don't buy or pay for anything non-vegan, not in a sense of telling her your not going to pay, but in the sense of explaining to her your point of view on the matter. If...

    Huge fight with non-vegan bf?

    I believe that in the end everything works out, not for the better or for the worst, but, it works out as it should work out.. He could go vegan, and he could not go vegan, there is no way to know.. Maybe you will split up, and then a year later you will find out that he is vegan and in a...

    Potential vegan partner?

    Why wait? what if he is the kind of guy that does not usually make the first move, what if he misunderstood something from you and thinks that you are not interested.. So, why wait? You don't have to tell him straight on that you are in to him, but, you can try and get closer to him, and let...

    Thier reaction to your veganism and how you respond

    For me the initial reaction is mostly fine, people usually say things like: oh really? nice, good for you, i wish i could be vegan too.. A lot of times people actually tell me that they are vegetarian or used to be vegan/vegetarian and had to stop for some bad reason.. But, the moment they...

    Has anyone felt any real health differences after going vegan?

    "Its harder to be healthy as a vegan for me because there's so much less enjoyable food" Really? what foods do you like? Do you like sushi, cheese, burgers, etc? Just in New York there are tons and tons of 100% vegan restaurants. There is vegan steak, pastrami, cheese cakes, "sea" food, sushi...

    Has anyone felt any real health differences after going vegan?

    I have been vegan for a few years now, not because of health reasons, but because of ethical reason, but i am wondering if anyone has felt any change in their day to day health or health in general. Do you feel any difference in health compared to before you were vegan?

    Animals eat animals

    animals eat animals.. i get that a lot, so i ask them: by your logic then, should humans also eat humans?.. at that point they usually end that pointless part of the discussion and move on to the next pointless claim, for example "people have always eaten animals so its alright"..
