    Recipe suggestions, anyone?

    Try to incorporate other things in your daily intake. Being Vegan should not be so much the focus, but being healthy....with the consumption of natural, organic sources. That means you may incorporate in your daily meal time, nuts, grains, seeds, fruits (and I am sure there are some very...

    Favorite way to cook vegetables

    Raw for some like Lettuce, Cabbage, Cucumber and Carrots when washed thoroughly with salt water and again with fresh water. As well as barely steamed (allow water to just start bubbling then add vegetable and turn off fire). This will ensure certain enzymes are activated as well as assist with...

    On a tight budget

    I am not sure on the availability of these kinda things (I will list shortly) in your area/country or the price for same but my thoughts are, if they are nuts, seeds, grains, whole grain, fruits, vegetables, then they will be sufficient, varied and quite beneficial and filling to use. These...

    Natural sports drink alternative

    Coconut water, Lemon water or Lime water (or any other water with some amount of citric fruit juice infused) is great. Not only is it refreshing, it is also very beneficial... There are a number of natural options that are available that can be used.

    Do you think children should be brought up vegan or vegetarian?

    Good points Vickeree :) I agree that it does help the children in the end, in so many ways... They will receive much needed nutritional benefit and it will assist in a better transition for them. A price cannot be placed on the significant value they receive and the number of health maladies...

    Do you think children should be brought up vegan or vegetarian?

    Unless being Vegan/Vegetarian is a new lifestyle being adopted, and the children are already grown (and most likely been given meals that were not vegan/vegetarian based), then yes...they may be given the same type of foods being eaten by the parents...(i.e if before the child is born, the...

    Do you get asked, how do you get enough protein?

    As you have nicely pointed out, and I agree...that the only time I will entertain the question, enough to give a lengthy response, is if I detect a genuine interest. Some people don't know, don't wish to know, yet want to debate issues...and I do not have neither the time nor the energy for that...

    Advantages?

    I am not vegan but I can think of so many good advantages to eating mainly plant based sources...especially these days (with all the hormones, wrong meats being used and such). The main reason is health, and avoiding the development of animal-contributed types of diseases. I enjoy having my...

    Cross contamination in restaurants

    I think about these things as it pertains to meats (I am not vegan but I am so tired of meat and therefore may eat it -chicken or fish- only once per week). If I must eat out (which is quite rare), I am very selective of the place...it must be opened and clean or already has a good reputation...

    Facebook Page

    Good idea to have the environment widened...I wonder though, if a group would be more personable? Or maybe a page first then start a group afterwards :)

    New Site?

    Hello, I am new here and am wondering if this is a new site...it appears that way to me (either that or we are all too shy and aren't talking/writing). Anyway, I find here to be quite refreshing, interesting, the layout is quite inviting and I hope the membership will grow and we will all...

    Dating a non-vegan/vegetarian

    It will be quite challenging in any situation (spouse, children, friends). If you knew the person before you changed, it may be even more difficult because they may take an offense to not having it (meat). However, I think where there is love, anything is possible/achievable. There must be...

    Vegan pizza from Dominos!

    This looks lovely!!! I would like to have one now :P . Unfortunately, I am sure I won't be having any today (far away and have too much to do). I live in the Caribbean and there are outlets here, but I don't think they offer that option, I sure will check the next time I have (which is not...

    Hello

    Hello Katt, nice to meet you. It is a good thing for you to have decided that you will support your boyfriend in transitioning from meet to other healthier options. That will help me significantly. Maybe by making really nice smoothies, sandwiches and dips (with things like Avocado), it...
