I've noticed the same questions, comments and assertions pop up about veganism over and over again. Some are intended as jokes or jabs, others as concerns, while some pose as truths.  

I am a longtime fan of PCRM: I think they've done extraordinary things to champion and protect vegan medical students, to share a truthful message about the health benefits of plant based diet, and to protect the lives of animals. But this ..... These ads, and their associations with veganism, brought up similar feelings that I felt when hearing about the book *Skinny Bitch* and the connotations that title, and these conceptions of veganism as...  

In my decade living in Thailand, I've come across more and more people who are on a raw food, vegan or vegetarian diet. Easy to do in Thailand, as fresh fruit and vegetables are everywhere, it's also dirt cheap. And, when I say "dirt cheap", I mean cheaper ...  

Congratulations. But first, the wedding. "What we were celebrating is us and our life, and our life was going to be a vegan life," says Miami schoolteacher Jenny Silveira. "I wanted to have a vegan wedding." This did not go down well with her meat-eating family.

Meagan Duhamel packs her suitcases for competitions like she's about to board a boat for a desert island. Among her skating dresses and track suits she'll tuck carefully wrapped cartons of almond milk, homemade bread, and enough nuts and seeds to satisfy a family of squirrels. It's not easy
