My approach is: Become familiar with okay and not-okay ingredients. Over time, I've leaned toward food stuff that have fewer ingredients and ingredients that are easily recognizable. I keep my phone on me when shopping to do quick internet searches for ingredients I'm not familiar with. Keep in...

I'm one of those rare blood types. I've done that double platelet donation before. It's very weird when they put cold blood back into your body.

These are a guilty pleasure of mine. I haven't had one in months and months, but I remember enjoying all of the options. You are right though. If you want good pizza, gotta make it yourself.

I'm low-key fascinated by the intersectionality of feminism and veganism. My background is in the visual arts and we spent a lot of time in grad school studying feminism and intersectionality as criticism and theory lenses. I struggle with understanding how veganism isn't more synonymous with...

But the original challenge was: So as a result humans and animals are equal. Prove me wrong, if you can! Not: Do humans and animals have equal rights? The answer to that is obviously no. Rights, in the sense we're talking about, are artificially constructed by humans to govern other humans (and...

I'm confused. What is the question or argument? That humans are "equal" or "not equal" to other animals? What's the method of evaluation? Humans definitely beat other animals with our ability to create streaming entertainment services, but sharks beat humans at un-aided swimming speed. Each...

Keep in mind cholesterol is only found in animal products. If you're having trouble lowering your cholesterol, my first suggestion would be to cut out the animal products. Potato chips (usually cooked in vegetable oil) and non-dairy "cheese" puffs are not contributing to bad cholesterol. They...

I'm a visual artist specializing in illustration -- magazine illustrations, murals, portraits, branding, etc. I also teach topics in illustration part time at the local art & design college. @thomglick on Instagram www.thomglick.com

What's the 5% look like? My cholesterol was bad when I was an ominvore and continued to worsen when I switched to an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. My 5% of animal products was a cheese pizza once a week, pancakes with eggs and dairy milk once or twice a week. I was moments away from being put on...

Could the nausea be caused by anxiety? When we first transitioned to vegan, I remember being a bit anxious because of all the push-back we got from friends, family, and society telling us how our health would suffer. Once we did some of our own research we found our anxieties vanished, replaced...

This week has been a mix of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Mastodon. Last week it was a 60 & 70s singer songwriter mix. Variety is the spice of life, right?

Today it was toast with vegan butter and cherry preserves. Most days I rotate OATS piled up with dried fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, cinnamon and maple syrup / TOFU SCRAMBLE in a bowl with cubed potatoes, chopped peppers, chopped onions, garlic, spinach, and nutritional yeast / PANCAKES with...

I was recently diagnosed with an under active thyroid and prescribed meds to correct it. The initial meds my dr prescribed were not vegan friendly. I spent half an hour with my pharmacist researching alternatives. He found one -- levoxyl!

When we transitioned to vegan from vegetarian, and to vegetarian from omnivore before that, we gave ourselves these very soft time periods where we said it was okay to mess up as we explored these new paths -- I think a month. The transitions took a fraction of the time we allotted ourselves...

I was a distance cyclist, middle distance runner, backpacker, and occasional triathlete for about 20 years. I switched to vegetarian diet late in the game. Then finally made the switch to vegan diet. During the first year my cholesterol dropped 30+ points, I finally flattened my mid-section, and...

Emma! Thanks for the response. I was so focused on the animal stuff that I hadn't considered the other stuff. I went ahead and informed the organizers that I'm vegan and that I'd like to participate as long as I'm not required to promote the animal elements of the event.

Hello! I'm an artist (and a vegan). Recently, I was approached by organizers of the state fair to create some artwork for the event. I'm struggling with what to do... Fairs are not great places for animals. The artwork I would be doing is not necessarily related to the animal components of...
