    Minority vegans

    Yes, in the US. Even though the concept of "veganism" is a Western one, a large % of people (in the world) who adhere to a plant-based are not white; e.g. rastafarians, a significant % of buddhists in throughout East-Asia, Jainists, etc... the most common vegan dishes out there come from...

    Minority vegans

    If being Vegan is not hard enough for the average person; imagine being a Vegan while being of a certain ethnic minority living in a Western country. Are there are Vegans in here who are ethnically in the minority? I personally don't think there are such thing as ''races'' but that doesn't...

    Your thoughts on legal cannabis

    Pot makes me feel homesick because I'm from a country where it is partially legal, you can buy it as long as you buy it from licensed places, has to be less than 4g per day per person, it's not legal to grow so the weed has to magically show up behind the counter, you cannot smoke cigarettes in...

    Is having a guide dog veganly?

    Btw, Veganism is not for animal lovers just like abolitionism was not for slave-lovers. I don't love animals but I don't believe in inflicting unnecessary suffering, and I also don't believe in treating entire species like infants, that's very wrong in my opinion. You did make a good point...

    Is having a guide dog veganly?

    What one says means very little to what he does. It's very easy to have an opinion, everyone is entitled to their own, having extreme ideas doesn't make one extreme. I'm being perceived the same way as you are perceived by carnists: as an extremist. You seem too emotional. I'm just exchanging...

    Is having a guide dog veganly?

    Unreasonable? Was that a personal attacks for having a different opinion? How we choose we to live with pets right now isn't so much my biggest concern, as if we ever become a society where people are vegan by default then this moment we are experiencing right now is a gray area. That being...

    Is having a guide dog veganly?

    Are any pets vegan at all? pets are a human creation and as a consequence they are all in a way wolves with disabilities and mental deformations. Being Vegan in a Carnist society is obviously going to create dilemmas, as a vegan it's up to you to decide how we are going to move forward as a...

    Difficult making friends.

    A vegan comedian explains what it's like being a vegan, socially. I feel you, it can be very difficult making friends as a Vegan, especially if you're a a dorky (sometimes eccentric) one like me. :confused:

    If you were on death row, what would be your last meal?

    How about an entrance to the best vegan all you can eat buffet in the world, followed by my previous answer as ''dessert''? At that point of the rodeo I would just want something to numb my feelings enough I can mentally escape from reality. Sorry for changing the topic a bit but aren't prison...

    Is vegan dating possible?

    I agree with Emma, For hygienic reasons (when you go down on someone), practical reasons (have you tried explaining buying vegan condoms to a non-vegan? By the time you are done explaining you could already been inside of her), and ethical reasons (you can treat her to all the vegan...

    Vegan octopus alternative?

    There was century old recipe created by a Chinese imperial chef using King Oyster's mushrooms; basically they would just fry with a couple of ingredients and fry it long enough that it would become really dry so dry that it became hard like meat so that you would actually have to put some effort...

    Is vegan dating possible?

    I have been on so many dates... and I wish I could say that the most exciting ones were with Vegans, sadly that was not the case, mostly due to the numbers. I have only been on 3 dates with Vegan chicks (basically every vegan chick I managed to ask out, hot or not) and countless times with...

    Do you drink tea?

    I am more of a cold-brew coffee person: usually mix a water with ground coffee in a pitcher and let it soak for at least 12 hours (usually overnight) before filtering it and pouring in my insulated bottle for work!
