Conscious Eating, Okay, But Where (On Earth) Do You Get Your Protein? Kathy Freston, huffingtonpost When I tell people that I’m a vegan, the most popular question, by far, inevitably follows: “But, how do you get enough protein?” There it is again, I think, the meat industry’s most potent weapon against vegetarianism–the protein myth. And it is just that–a myth. In fact, humans need only 10 percent of the calories we consume to be from protein. Athletes and pregnant women need a little more... Read Full Story

I am a big fan of soap bars, all types but have a special affinity for vegetarian, vegan, and eco friendly soaps. I’m always on the lookout for cool bars and providers. I was browsing the vegan cosmetics site Lush, and they have a solid vegan soaps section.

They also specify which of their products are 100% vegan... Read Full Story

Well, as of lastnight I'm on a mission. As I was preparing my dogs food; mixing up chicken, veggies and carbs my daughters started to discuss a vegetarian diet for their dogs in the future. They were wondering if feeding a veggie diet to dogs was fair or healthy. I quickly jumped in stating that I thought dogs need meat; but then thought maybe they can live healthy and happy without meat, research time. As with anything else I do in life when I'm not sure; I research. I am a need to know... Read Full Story

This is a guest-post from a young writer named Katie. Good job, Katrina E! (please read on) The difference between carnivores and herbivores is as obvious as the difference between, coincidentally, a large steak and a simple tossed salad. Compassion VS. Aggresion One is filled with aggression, the need for incisors, and a guilty steak-house location where bull heads and pseudo-western lassos are mounted above every table. The latter, however, is related to a light feeling of well being, a... Read Full Story
