Hah thanks! Show them this and ask them, "How many carnivores does it take to kill a herbivore?" “People eat meat and think they will become as strong as an ox, forgetting that the ox eats grass." ~ Pino Caruso

My kids naturally *prefer* almond milk. They even like the unflavored, unsweetened ones best. Maybe just buy a variety and taste test!

Wait wait waaaaaiiiit... Vegan chicken and waffles?! A vegan dog at Pink's?!?! I'll be there in 1 month!! WOooooooooOOooOoot!!

This site lets you create a custom mix right in their store, even down to what flavorings and how much sugar you want... http://truenutrition.com/ Pretty reasonable prices, too!

Yup. ^^ This guy nailed it.

They don't bother me and really, I don't encounter them that often. I have many responses depending on the situation, but one is, "Please explain to me how a diet that has made me extremely healthy and doesn't' require the death or abuse of any animals isn't a good thing?" Usually I get nothing or a nonsensical response,…

Feel free to add me. Almost 2 years here.

Vegan since Sept 2011. I had a few friends react badly, too. I don't go around telling people I'm vegan and many people who are around me daily haven't even caught on. I won't even tell people who visit my house or I invite for dinner. People just don't seem to notice if the spread is nice enough. When people do find out,…

It's really hard to maintain muscle while losing weight, period. You might not be able to do it. Try this easy to use page: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbprotein.htm Remember, you have to give your body a reason to keep your muscle, so make sure you hit the weights HARD.

I don't even pay attention to carbs. I've lost 67 lbs. Personally, I think the whole carb thing is overblown. All I do is try to avoid white flour, sugar and tortillas. That's it.

One we make with minimal ingredients is a quinoa version of Spanish Rice, like the kind you get in Mexican restaurants. Here's a recipe, just replace the rice with quinoa. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/spanish_rice/

This is awesome!

I came here to say pretty much the same thing.

I eat very little tofu and grains and no seitan. Maybe you have a gluten sensitivity made bad by the diet? Just speculating. I don't have any problems with gluten (at least not any that present themselves), but I still keep to colorful foods as much as possible.

Look, you need a well rounded fitness plan. The problem with simple running or cardio machines is the body will adapt fairly quickly and begin to negate your effort. Cardio is good for the heart, don't get me wrong. But if you want to run faster/longer/stronger, the first order of business is to get the weight off! Any…

The fact is, vegans have the lowest risk for MANY types of cancer, heart attacks, etc.. and are the least likely group to be overweight. You can say alll you want about all the foods we eat that you don't agree with, but the final results speak for themselves. I went vegan Sept 2011. In just three months my total…

So true. Bad mouthing *may* only work for a limited time. Eventually, the kids will catch on and know what the bad mouthing parent is doing. They're not stupid. Remember, you're bad mouthing their father/mother!!

This. If he thinks his parents still at least like each other, he'll be OK. His world won't be so ripped apart.

I'm doing my first one on the 30th. The only advice I have...hit up YouTube for advice videos. That's what I've been doing. There are a lot of breakdowns of the different obstacles and tips on training, etc. The most often tip I find is to rest the week before the Mudder and eat as clean as possible. Get to 100%, we'll…

The way I've dealt with it in the past is to simply eat something when this happens. Something similar. By that I mean if smelling fried chicken get something a bit salty, etc.

An inspiration!!!
