Vegan camping
Hi all! I'm going camping for the first time ever (in Utah) in a few weeks, and this will be not only my first time camping vegan, but first time camping period! I've been vegan for almost 12 years, but have no clue where to start when it comes to camping.
What kinds of foods do I bring? We won't have access to a fridge to keep things cold. We'll ( Read more... ) -
vegan replacement or alternative for surimi?
When I was in Japan, it was so hard to be vegan so I would sometimes have these surimi cakes. Now that I've been pretty much vegan for a month, (been doing the PRNC Vegan Kickstarts, I find them helpful to get back on track and STAY on track!) I find myself craving something similar with this texture...and a good source of protein that won't be too ( Read more... ) -
Vegans in school
My son started school this year. ETA: He's only 4.5 and knows why we're vegan because "we don't need to use animals so we don't" and other simple and basic explanations.
The teacher seemed annoyed that we were vegan. She asked if I would make exceptions for some of her classes because "F is for Feather....you know, where we make crafts with ( Read more... ) -

Did You Hear About Giggles?
In the US last week, 9 heavily-armed "wildlife protection" officials stormed a no-kill shelter in the state of Wisconsin to drag out and kill a fawn who had been brought in by concerned people. The baby had been abandoned by his mother. In Wisconsin it's illegal to keep wildlife (but apparently killing wild animals is just dandy ( Read more... ) -
Dogs in Hot Cars (Seriously, AGAIN!?)
Earlier this week, a small dog in Rhode Island died when it was left inside a car in the sweltering summer heat. Also, a woman in the same town was warned that she was teetering on a crime when she saved a pit bull from possibly the same fate ( Read more... ) -
Kirkland Croissants?
Dumb question, but does anybody know if Kirkland/Costco croissants are vegan? I know croissants typically aren't, but I've stumbled across accidentally vegan ones before. I have a friend inviting me over for breakfast this Saturday and she asked me. I've been searching the google, but can't find a basic ingredients list. We have a backup plan ( ( Read more... )
