Thank you - you are right. Not everyone is in the same place as others either emotionally, spiritually, or physically. In that sense I get to relate to the OP because currently I'm feeling very angry with current circumstances and have very low tolerance for what I feel is people being...

What good does it do to bemoan your fellow human beings? You are human, too. And I'm sure you're not innocent of contributing in some way or another to the suffering of others - be they animal or human. You want change? Be the change and start doing something instead of telling everyone how...

Welcome - I'm sorry your wife is going through so much pain. The symptoms sound scary, especially the swelling. While I feel like a vegan diet has worked wonders in my life, I'm not about to suggest your wife make a change like that on my own evidence alone. If you can guarantee she can do it...

If you're baffled by people's ability to not care, then clearly you've never crossed paths with a sociopath. I find trying to force others to care about the same things I do to be an exercise in futility. Put your energy where it does some good - making good choices for yourself, being a...

Indeed. But it's absolutely delicious.

It takes two in order for an argument to occur. When you drop your side of the rope in the mental tug-of-war there's nothing to fight over anymore. Meaning, when I don't want my choices to be an issue, I don't turn them into an issue. I keep quiet and as others have suggested, live by example...

Unless you're going with a green smoothie - meaning one that is actually absent many fruits, I'd actually consider a smoothie to be a sweet snack. Since you said you're trying to avoid sweet snacks between meals, try instead to have nuts, seeds, crackers, carrot slices, cherry tomatoes, etc...

Honestly the best hummus is the one I make myself. This way I control what goes into it. I don't watch the news too much since it's primary aim seems to be to instill fear and direct society on what we need to be upset about next, so I've not heard of contaminated hummus brands - a google search...

I thought I'd add a topic here. It might be worthwhile for those transitioning to see some of the other "side effects" that occur when you adapt a vegan lifestyle. These aren't typical things like "Feel great! Gas! Everyone is suddenly concerned if I'm getting enough protein!" A couple things...

I like using pastas that are made with lentils and quinoa, etc. There's an organic brand called Simple Truth that's usually in a lot of big-chain grocers and they have lentil/quinoa pasta, whole wheat, standard, cauliflower/quinoa that I know of. There's gluten-free pastas, as well - check the...

I despise food processors or chopping mechanisms that first require you to chop something before putting it in and chopping some more. Utterly ridiculous. I might as well save the extra dishes and chop by hand first since I have a knife and cutting board out already. For a food processor, I...

She cited health concerns, but will not go into details. Frankly, I don't blame her. The entitlement of the internet community is just astounding at times. To be clear, however, she was never a vegan blog. If you look back at her really early recipes, she had a lot of omni ones at that time, too.

I find with the health care industry I often have to be my own advocate. Depending on the doctors you're working with, you risk getting treated as a number that needs to be checked off the list and moved out of their in-box as quickly as possible. This means doctors just not listening, or...

These sound pretty serious to me, so I'd first encourage you to get in and see your doctor. Get your bloodwork done - ask them to check for anemia, check your thyroid, check your vitamin levels, iron, hormones, etc. Your acne sounds hormonal - I have the same issue. I did find backing off the...

You can bring your own food on flights, at least in the US. As others said, be mindful of liquids. Just bring an empty water bottle with you and fill it at a water fountain after you get through security. While expensive, many of the restaurants inside airports offer vegan options -you can...

By all means, Mischief, challenge bigotry when you encounter it. One could argue this is exactly why such controversial posts should be allowed so they can be challenged in the open.

I rarely, rarely, rarely ever post here. I read the thread in question with interest. I see a lot of head-butting going on. I honestly don't agree with the sentiments that were presented in the thread by the supposed perpetrator, however, I don't see this person running around the board posting...

Just wanted to pop in and say hello and make my little victory speech. At the beginning of 2018 I decided to take the leap into veganism (was lacto-ovo vegetarian for around 10 years previously). I cannot tell you what a huge difference this has made in my life, especially where it comes to...

Dinners this week will be smothered burritos made with refried beans and vegan green chili. I used some fire-roasted green chiles from a local farm that's nearby. That little bit of char makes such a delicious green chili.
