A friend of mine recently brought to my attention a former vegan who has now re-invented himself as the “Ethical Butcher” (a title right up there with Peacekeeper missiles, limited autonomy, and military intelligence). The butcher writes: “After 14 years as a vegetarian, a few of those as a quite ‘militant’ vegan, I became a [...]  

These chronic diseases include obesity, heart disease (the number 1 killer in the US), cancer (the number 2 killer in the US), stroke, diabetes, hemorrhoids, and perhaps more. the high content of fiber in the diet is one of the reasons for this. Also there is no cholesterol in the vegan diet.  

Funnily enough, the Malcolm Frontier promo video showcasing its “iMojito” all-in-one iPhone case and wallet (naked girl on a scooter, naked guy on fixed-gear bike, naked guy running, all SFW) demonstrates my first thought about this case: At the end of the rather nice video spot, the naked guy (on foot) grabs the wallet (cash, [...]

For all of October, vegan-minded bloggers are being asked to toil around the clock (only a slight exaggeration) to celebrate a month dedication to vegan fare. Vegan Month of Food was started by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, vegan chef and cookbook author beloved for Veganomicon as well as Vegan Brunch. Moskowitz says her goal is to urge bloggers to write as much as they can this month about vegan fare:  

NFL tight end (word play!) Tony Gonzalez and wife October are the latest pair to pose for PETA’s “rather go naked than wear fur” campaign.

[SuperVegan's Patrick Kwan is a Tofurky fan.]Thanksgiving is a devastating time of year for vegans, when we cry into our bland veggie soup while meat eaters feast around us, knowing deep down in our souls that we're missing out on one of life's great pleasures...

Rose and Xerxes were the guests of honor, but kept to themselves for most of the dinner. They stayed in their cage by the door, coming out every once in a while to greet guests who gingerly held them and were more than willing to forgive the occasional wing-flapping or outburst of indignant clucks.  

A raw vegan diet is a diet that includes a diet rich in vegetables, leafy greens, fruits, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. While all of the vegetables are fresh, most of the recipes use un-cooked or raw vegetables, but occasionally steamed and sautéed vegetables are also used. A raw vegan diet doesn’t include [...]  

During my two-year stint as a vegan in college, I often joked that while 90 percent of dining hall food was off-limits, at least I could always find a drink. (Clearly, I had never heard of the bacon martini.) But on a recent vacation to America’s wine capitol, Napa Valley, I stumbled upon an unappetizing fact: All along, I just might have been drinking fish guts.  

Americans across the country are celebrating National Vegan Month throughout November. A vegan is commonly defined as a person who chooses to avoid using any type of animal product, although the degree to which a person practices veganism and their reasons for doing so may vary.

Re "Animal, Vegetable, Miserable," by Gary Steiner (Op-Ed, Nov. 22): Mr. Steiner might feel less lonely as an ethical vegan - he says he has just five vegan friends - if he recognized that he has allies in mere vegetarians (like me), ethical omnivores and even carnivores. Some of us agree with his outlook, but just don’t have the fortitude to make every sacrifice he makes.
