German Insurance Company Introduces Plant Based Nutrition Guides in Hospitals So, they are going to introduce guides ... But what about the actual food they provide to patients, I wonder? I know that in the USA, hospital food is atrociously bad...

My department at work is having a luncheon this Friday. The whole department, so it will be weird to opt out. BUT, it's a a rib joint, of all places. I was just out sick for an entire week, so calling in sick isn't an option. They do have grilled veggies (which I'll have to ask for sans oil)...

So, I've been trying to teach myself German for the past couple of weeks... I'm taking a German class next semester, and really want to go to Germany - I'm thinking either near the end of next year or in the summer of 2021. I'm a big house music fan and want to go to some of the clubs in Berlin...

Has anyone tried this stuff? I picked up a jar of this at Coscto - mainly for my son as he's trying to put on a couple pounds. I tried some and it's frighteningly good. Like evil good. I am making him take it to his dad's, LOL. I am not really a huge fan of nut butters - I like some of them...

Who uses Shea Butter?? I have been using coconut oil for probably 3 years or so exclusively as a moisturizer and a makeup-remover. I literally haven't used anything else in terms of "skin care." I will sometimes dry brush before I shower, then slather on a ton of coconut oil all over, then...

Milk and Water Are OK for Kids — Juice and Plant-Based Drinks Aren’t "These other “milks” aren’t good nutritional substitutes for cow’s milk in children’s diets, the organizations said. In fact, they “provide no unique nutritional value,” according to a press release from HER. “Plant-based milks...

I get emails from LinkedIn all the time from recruiters, even though my profile is not set as "open to opportunities." The latest one I got promised (along with a basketball court and ping pong table), "Company BBQs and Endless M&Ms." If I WERE looking for a job, I wouldn't be interested in...

I was looking up @Forest Nymph 's quote (in her signature), which led me down a path that landed me on the Peter Singer Wikipedia page (down the proverbial rabbit hole), where I read the words "love thy neighbor as thyself" and it struck me - how to respond to the question, should someone ask...

This is not the kind of headline we need right now.... Thoughts? Don't let vegetarian environmentalists shame you for eating meat. Science is on your side. Go ahead, grill a burger. Going vegetarian can help our climate a little bit, but it's an inefficient policy to try to push on people...

They do this thing where I work where if it's your birthday, HR will make a big deal of decorating your cubicle/office/workspace with stuff for the day... Which by itself is kinda cool. However, I have a pretty strong distaste for some of the "stuff" they use to do it. Balloons are among my...

I found a pigeon with a broken wing on lunch hour walk. Took it back to the office with me, had him in a box and someone was coming to pick him up, but he died before they came. I'm so sad ???

It was actually pretty good! TLDR: This WFPBV would have it again, in the absence of an actual garden burger (the kind where you can actually see the garden), tofu, or just plain grilled vegetables. ... Considering my typical whole-food diet and the fact that I never liked burgers much even...
