Most vegans know it's impossible to NEVER harm any animals, ever. We just try to inflict the LEAST amount of harm and suffering that we can. That's all.

Raising animals for food requires lots more land than growing crops. That's because animals eat a lot more food than they provide as meat. It takes 16 pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. That's 94% more land. And 94% more pesticides. All told, livestock eat 70% of all the grain we produce. They're food factories in…

I love them all and switch it up to keep life interesting. I also love hazelnut milk, flax milk, and coconut milk. For soy, I only use organic so as not to contribute to Monsanto's GMO monopoly. I make my own almond milk with a nut bag like others described too. I have some fresh in my fridge right now- It's a lot more…

Most protein bars are vegetarian, just some aren't vegan. Is that what you meant? Someone sent me a link with some recently...I'll have to see if I can find it...

Check out http://bodyecology.com/... I read the book and it was pretty fascinating and eye-opening. I'm not sure if I have or had candida (I'd be interested in getting a blood test) But I was following a lot of the concepts (probiotics, cultured veggies & coconut water, green juice, etc) It's all good for anyone's…

Sounds awesome! I subscribe to her newsletter. I really need some more vegan books! Most of my resources are online- sooooo many good blogs/sites out there! :) I'm definitely going to check this out though! Thx!

What?! I haven't heard of this. Sounds terrible. :(

I don't think it would be rude. If you are allergic, especially.

I use this: http://www.bettylousinc.com/products_detail.php?id=287&ref=9. Only has 3 ingredients: Organic Peanuts, Organic Coconut Sugar*, Sea Salt. 45 Cals per 2 TB. I haven't tried PB2, mainly because of the sugar and pesticides (peanuts are full of pesticides if not organic). Love Betty Lous PB Powder! If it wasn't so…

Chocolate or Mango. Can't decide. Probably chocolate...a good, dark chocolate. :love:

I lLOOOOVE Urban Decay's Vegan Palette(with eyeshadows and eyeliner) For foundation, I use elegant minerals (www.elegantminerals.com)- You can order $1 samples to try out- :)

Have you read any books on veganism? There's some great ones out there. I heard 'Becoming Vegan' is good and I'd like to get it. I like The Kind Life too, but more of my info is from reading from tons of online resources. I've been vegan for 6 months now. I think the key is variety and eating lots of fruits and veggies.…

this made my day :flowerforyou:

I use Life's Basics Protein Powder (all flavors), Garden of Life RAW Protein, and Vega Whole Food Optimizer(chocolate!). I alternate to get variety. I've heard that the trueprotein.com was good stuff too - would like to try it as well.

^^^THIS! :) I would love to see the 180 cal vegan protein diary toooo! I'm a vegan as well... I'm impressed when I get 60-70 g per day. I don't worry about it too much because too much protein is hard on the kidneys and bad kidneys run in my family, but I'd like to up it for awhile for lifting purposes (maybe just on…

Dear Co-Worker, You are so hot, I get hot just thinking about you. I'd like to clear off your desk with one arm and ... Or meet me in the empty stairwell for a quick 10-minute 'break'. Sincerely, your coworker wife

Yes!!

Eating a plant-based diet can be great for weight-loss- IF you eat all whole, unprocessed foods and lots of fruits and veggies. In that sense, it is an extremely healthy way of eating. The only way eating meat is even remotely healthy is if it's certified grass-fed, organic, or wild-caught, since factory-farming is…

but this is my fave: http://www.thekindlife.com/post/yummy-tempeh-tacos

This one is yummy: Baked Tempeh with Quinoa Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1 large yellow onion, diced high temperature cooking oil, as needed (I use sunflower) 2 tablespoons vegetable broth powder, divided (VegeBase does the trick) 2 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence seasoning ground pepper, to taste 1…

Dogs are as unique as humans. All these dog pics make me want to go rescue one!! :flowerforyou:

yum! thanks for sharing! :)

mmmm i want to try this!!

I've never tried gazpacho! I keep meaning to but haven't. This summer I am making it FOR SURE! I got a ton of tomatoes, peppers and more that I'm planting, plus I get a ton of veggies from my CSA! Thanks for the recipe! Do you blend in the avocado or add chunks? I Can't Wait!!

Whole wheat pastry flour seems to taste much better to me- not as strong and adds a much fluffier texture to food! But i'm used to regular whole wheat too, although now i've been experimenting with gluten-free flours. Only thing I can think of is mixing half and half with gluten-free flour, if you are willing to not to…

<<<ode to the rabbit! :glasses:

There's a reason for why most of us are all choosing the similar foods (Chocolate, Cheese, Meat, and Sugar- soda). Willpower is not to blame. Watch this: Chocolate, Cheese, Meat, and Sugar -- Physically Addictive - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VWi6dXCT7I (It's weird at first, but keep with it, it's really…

This is my husbands. Both TRUE. LMFAO! 1. Jerrod The *kitten* with the heart of gold "Wow that guy is such a Jerrod!" Jerrod To reach a level of both physical and intellectual eroticism that it makes your body nearly immobile. Usually only experienced by those highly trained in tantra. Wow...Have you ever experienced…
