Named Donald Watson’s Vegan Bar, the new drinking venue launch is being led by a local businessman in the hope to create a memorable venue, which will also pay tribute to the man who essentially birthed the vegan community.''

That milk machine is tempting.

Meh. It doesn't say how much the milk machine is, but I'd spend it on a Vitamix myself.
It list "IP Duo Crisp" but it's not the description. Looks just like my Duo 6, which I love, but it's not worth more than $70 regular price
 
The duo crisp has two different lids. The regular one and one that turns it into an air fryer.

I looked at that milk machine and its too small for me. Only makes 11 oz of milk at a time.

PETA suit accuses Organic Valley of cruelty to dairy cows, calves

LA FARGE, Wis. (WKBT) — Attorneys for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Foundation filed a class-action lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of a California woman who accuses La Farge-based Organic Valley cooperative of cruelty to dairy cows and calves. The lawsuit is on behalf of Amber...

I couldn't decide which thread to put this in.
I thought maybe the Everything Non-dairy Thread. but its not about non dairy.
We don't and probably shouldn't have a dairy thread
we don't really have a PETA News thread. Maybe we should.

Although I expect this law suit to get dismissed, but its interesting on several fronts.

First off it has a personal significance to me. It was a news article about PETA and another law suit that first brought cow cruelty to my attention.

there is a chance that this might actually do something or mean something. Other causes frustrated by the lack of legislation have moved things along with law suits.

this should get more news coverage. I already spotted it in the Washington Post. I bet the NYT isn't far behind. this story might get noticed by someone else who swears off milk.

This particular tactic probably can't be used in many places. Organic Valley pretty much opened it up to itself with their ad campaign.

Even if Amber wins her law suit, it may only result in damages and Organic Valley changing the wording of their ads.

‘Normal or with meat?’​

Why Burger King Austria Made Plant-Based The Default

Burger King Austria is making meat the exception, not the rule. In one location, it's serving burgers plant-based unless requested otherwise.
plantbasednews.org plantbasednews.org

It might be worth mentioning that it was the Austria BK who had the controversy with Pride whoppers. (for those of you who forgot it was a burger with two tops or two bottoms).

Well good for Austria's BK to be pushing the envelope.

'Singled Out': Internet Defends Couple for Having Vegan Table at Wedding

Commenters failed to understand what vegan solution could, or would have worked better.

I guess this was a big thing on Reddit. I missed it entirely.

The wedding couple were not vegan, and let one outlier cousin call the shots :argh::no:
They ruined it for themselves!
You're there for the couple getting married it's really not a time to demand your way, whatever it is. If they felt that strongly they really should not have accepted.

I went back and read some of it on Reddit. Lotsa of interesting opinions.
Yeah the militant vegan cousin was inappropriate, but it was the couple's decision to have a vegan table and I don't think it was a bad idea. Personally I wouldn't mind (might even like) being seated with a bunch of other vegans. We could swap stories and stuff.
I don't know if anyone at the vegan table really had that big of an issue, I think it was people on Reddit who took offense on their part.

The militant vegan would have ruined it for me. It is the couples decision, but i'm always amazed by how far newlyweds go to try and accomodate everyone! It's as if they were hosting an appreciation celebration rather than themselves.
If I wasn't already close to the other vegans i would not want to have the meal with them, but with my family and friends. Seems super ackward! Like why would you chose somebodies wedding to have a vegan meet up

Well, I guess it may depend on how you value your family. And if the ppl at the wedding are my relatives or future relatives, I should meet them, too
 
this article was front and center on CNN.com the other day

I think it is well presented and balanced and I am sure it is Dean trolling for more recruits to his programs and that's okay with me.

This doctor reversed heart disease. Now he wants to do it for Alzheimer's

Using a strict vegan diet, exercise, stress reduction and social support, Dr. Dean Ornish reversed heart disease in a 1990 clinical trial. Today he's trying to use the same approach on dementia.
