I've made my stance on faux meat pretty clear in the past (hint: I don't like it) and I've never been to a Pan Asian restaurant I've liked. This made my choice of Wild Ginger, a vegan, pro-faux restaurant serving such enticing-sounding dishes as General Tsao's Soy Protein and Tofu Teriyaki Sizzling Platter a little suspect. What was I thinking? Luckily, turns out that amidst all that nonsense, there are some actually tasty lunch options.

My wife's actually got it easy. I pack her lunches that fit her general food preferences—arugula and squash soup, for instance—she eats more of the same when she eats at home with me, but since she's not staying 100% vegan/vegetarian, she's not above, say, heading out for a shared Chinese feast with her colleagues—something which I unfortunately can't take part in.

Since I went vegan, I've had at least a half dozen people look at me while eating toast, a roll, or a sandwich and say, "Wait a minute, you can eat bread?"

Beets get their fair share of criticism from children and adults alike, and it's easy to see why if you, like me, were exposed to the canned variety as a kid. Those things are not easy to like. A freshly roasted beet, on the other hand, is something quite different. Sweet as candy, rich and earthy, with a great sorta-soft-sorta-crisp texture, they're one of my favorite vegetables to work with. I make some variation of this salad a few times a...

The question I keep asking myself is whether or not it's really the veganism that has led to my weight loss. Would any shift in diet affect the same end result? I'm guessing yes: the vast majority of my weight loss is due to a huge cutback in my tasting and snacking.

When celebrity chef Paula Deen announced last week that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three years ago and had decided to recently “come out” about it (conveniently, after she’d signed as a spokesperson for pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk and their $500-a-month diabetes drug, Victoza), many people were understandably cynical.

I have been a vegan for seven years. I prefer chocolate cakes to lentils, I don't spend my evenings sifting through layers of moss in search of nutrients, I won't eat it just because you made it and I don't value sea kittens above humans.
