So, the follow up tests on the urine found high levels of protein (3.5 when it should be .5 or below). From what I can gather, 3.5 is pretty serious, indicative of well-developed kidney problems (not too sure about that). We're on to an ultrasound on the kidneys to rule out any kind of mass or...

Thank you, I'll update when I hear more.

My 9.5 year old rescue mutt, an unbelievably healthy, happy, active, bouncy Montana dog, is going through a long series of tests at the vet. Her annual blood test showed creatinine at 1.4 (within normal limits of .3 to 1.7 but substantially higher than last year's .8) and elevated BUN (35 when...

In the United States, meat and dairy products are very cheap because they are so heavily subsidized through taxes. I wonder if the same is true in Nairobi? Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the US government (i.e. we taxpayers) was subsidizing beef production in Nairobi... sounds like...

For the discount on the UK Amazon website you can use this link: Accidentally Vegan Italian Soups: Simple versions of 30 forgotten Italian soups that always were and always will be vegan eBook: Caruso, Giovanni: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store Thanks!

Don't hens eat the unfertilized eggs that they lay? If so, then taking those eggs is robbing them of a tremendous amount of vital nutrients, no matter how rescuey or backyardey they are.

My book is now on sale for .99 pounds in the UK (USA sale is over, but it's still a bargain at 2.99). The UK sale will last for 6 more days, then the price for the Kindle (eBook) edition returns to 2.44 pounds. Thanks!

Forgot to mention that the sale is only active in the U.S. When the U.S. price goes back to normal in a few days I will do the same thing in the U.K. Thanks!

I recently published my vegan Italian soups cookbook on Amazon. Usually, the eBook version sells for $2.99 and the paperback for $12.99. For the next several days I am offering the eBook for 99 cents. I would love to receive feedback on the book, the recipes, or anything else. It is a...

It's complicated. If you send it back it gets thrown away and your newly made vegan food is an additional drain on resources and food. If you end up taking two portions of everything then whatever incidental animal death occurred to get that food to you such as insects or birds being hit by...

Wow, that's amazing. If spent well, this is very substantial.

Although there is a large gap between progressives and traditionalists in terms of whether they check the "I believe in human-caused global warming," box on a survey, there is far less of a gap in terms of behaviors. I know plenty of self-proclaimed progressives who drive SUVs when it's not...

That's fine and I'm sure those members are happier now. However lots of other people will never see things that they might have found interesting. Seems like keeping potentially valuable information away from people is not a good trade-off considering anybody who doesn't want to click on a link...

Reasonable points, and there is no doubt that wild animal suffering is substantial and sad. However, there is nothing stopping us from trying to improve the lot of zebras in the wild (whether we need to or should is a separate issue), and on the other hand, EVEN THOUGH there is nothing stopping...

I don't mean to pile on; it looks like you've seen substantial pushback. I appreciate the question for sure, it's good to think about these things, if only to sharpen our thinking. I would, however, take some issue with whatever authors have concluded that animals live unpleasant lives...

It seems very strange to be gaining a lot of weight when the calories in/calories out equation is heavily tipped in the other direction. Bloating is one thing, but actually gaining weight is another. I wonder if there is something wrong in your calculations? One trick I caught myself doing...

I feel guilty feeding the birds in my yard because the cats in the neighborhood hide under the feeders waiting to pounce. The also poo in my vegetable garden. Once I saw a neighborhood cat carrying a beautiful flicker in its mouth across my yard and I basically screamed (he dropped it, and a...

Here's a couple of recipes I've been working on...should be ok with your list (just skip the bread or use a kind you like): Maccú (Fava Bean Soup) Pronounced mah-coo, this Sicilian soup packs a protein punch like no other in this book. Leftover maccú will firm up as it cools in the...

Well it's a bit harsh, but you're quite right. 👍

Hmmm... I didn't think that farm animals made B12 themselves, it's just that they eat grass and dirt and so they are eating B12 and it ends up in their muscles or milk which is eaten by humans. Right? Only the bacteria make B12 and I think only in the dirt, not in a farm animal's stomach. Not...
