So here's the situation: I'm the caretaker of a little pussy cat, who presently gets the bulk of my affection and attention. She is full grown but smaller in size than most cats. She loves my yard and here is the problem - so do other neighborhood cats. As far as I can tell (by what I've...

Quick survey for those who wish to answer (and if you do, please answer both and answer honestly): How much of your diet consists of (sweet) fruit(includes juices as well as whole fruit)? Do you eat it daily/weekly and in what amounts? Do you drink alcohol? If so, how often and in what...

When I signed up here a few years ago it was as a very new vegan looking for support for vegan living, specifically in the food area. This is why I searched for and sought out the term "vegan", because I was looking for a specifically vegan forum. One of the basic rules of this forum for over...

(Split from Is factory farming to blame for coronavirus?) Eating animals/their byproducts, handling dead animals produces disease. I have no issues believing this. This is consistent with history and the scientific literature. There is a consistent link between many diseases and animal...

The worry over the Vegan 'Image' I've recently come to realize that with the advent of Vegan going, at least to some extent, "mainstream", the numbers of people adopting the vegan diet/lifestyle growing fast, there is what might be perceived as an associated image problem, and a worry...

Take this as a perspective of a male who lived half his life in the USA, but lives abroad now. Over the course of the last 30 (I'm 46) years, I've watched, first from within, then from without, some significant changes in the country. This is a personal opinion from observation...

After switching relatively recently to a barber style shavette (straight razor with replaceable blades) I'm seriously considering switching to a proper straight blade razor for shaving and need suggestions for a strop that isn't leather. Don't want to spend a fortune on a vegan alternative...

The following is not a recipe I am suggesting. It tasted good, but the taste was totally not what I was after. It might be an interesting experiment though, if you like experimenting with food. Tonight I set out to make some savory barley snacks - from sprouted barley and some other...

If you are, please share your experiences. I personally am not, but despite some of the more popular Vegan influencers who seem to be strongly against it, I consider myself an agnostic on the issue. One of the reasons I am open minded is that I see that some of the non-raw naysayers...

Be as general or specific as you like. At the moment I’m relaxing, drinking some beers, watching videos and doing some light cleaning. I periodically need to set some time aside and re-organize and clean, as I can tend to leave it. Now for my whole life I’ve relied on chemical cleaners...

http://nut.sourceforge.net/ Just a note for new users. The default meals are set to 3/day. If you're used to cronometer, and just put foods in for the complete day's fair, set the meals to 1/day. This avoids tripling amounts when looking at nutrients. I just got this today and am still...

There is a thread called “How vegan are you?” that asks this question given a certain situation. If asked given that situation I’d answer the same as I did there, possibly expounding on it since having learned some things. But essentially the answer would be the same for that context. This...

Post here if you are in any way into alternative energy! Bonus points for frugality - thousands of dollars worth of solar panels or a personal wind turbine don't count. :P Today I made my first solar oven out of - an old pizza box! Plus duct tape, clear plastic wrap, black spray paint for...

Protein based Commercial mock meats (heavy on the extracted protein from plants such as soy or brown rice, often containing oils and very little to no whole food) Do you eat them? Do you find they help you stay Vegan? Most importantly, do they satisfy? My take… Before I went vegan, I did...

This is a thought experiment and something I’ve wondered about since seeing the movie “Van Diemen’s Land”. If you are unfamiliar with the movie a good summary can be found here: It is based on the true story of convicts escape, struggle for survival and finally cannibalism. As Vegans, we...

I just read this: Abstract Results are presented that explore the possibility of organocyanide compounds in wastewater contributing to elevated cyanide levels in the chlorinated effluents of publicly owned treatment works. Four model compounds, acetonitrile, amygdalin, cyanocobalamin, and...

Before getting into my dilemma with the data, let me first say that just shy of a year being Vegan, (Octoberish 2017 when I first started from memory) with no appreciable screw ups or cheats during this time excepting the first month (after that, some bread that had egg in it, some rice...

I’m considering getting a blood test done as I’m coming close to 1 year vegan. Some of the things I know to look for: - B12 levels. I have a supplement. I rarely take it. - A recent post has brought up arsenic in brown rice. I have looked and am fairly comfortable with Aussie brown rice, but...

I've seen this mentioned a few times for better health/weight loss: The SOS free diet -or no Sugar, Oil, Salt. Ok, I understand about the refined sugar: 4 calories per gram, no vitamins and minerals, no help to you feeling full and feeding the good bacteria in the gut the fiber they need...

I thought these were both funny (video 1) and educational (video 2) I offer no comment except that I was impressed by both: Video 1: Video 2: Edit: Ack! Finger slip meant my title got sent before I was through typing it. Should be "You're not a real Vegan! / You're...
