I know that the “facts” in this photo isn’t a 100% correct, even if pandas and gorillas eat FAR less meat than we do.
But pointing at your canine tooth to justify the mass production and the quantities of which we consume meat, is still retarded.
Just don’t take this pic too seriously, people.
Also, I did not make this.
Xoxo
Using the word “retarded” to get your point across isn’t working - try not offending people if you want them to listen to you.

Don’t worry broccoli I love you!
YO BROCCOLI, I’M YOUR GIRL.
i am a broccoli ADDICT. i buy the frozen bags so they keep longer but lets be real - i go through at least 5 bags a WEEK. i need an intervention
“Our fast “food” display is now 2 years old. The word food is questionable, since the bread-like and meat-like substances have not molded or spoiled in any way. Bugs won’t even bother with it. Please think twice about giving this to your kids. You have a choice, but they don’t. We truly are what we eat.” -LiveWell Wellness Center
oh fuck
ew ew ew ew ew - how many chemicals and preservatives do you rekon they put in these babys to make them stay like that? Just think, what you’re eating on the day could be god knows how old and you’ll never know because it ALWAYS looks like this!
Ughhhhk. Why why why? I might as well as drink rubber cement. At first I thought that just looked gross ( I thought it was fresh, because let’s be honest, that’s exactly what it looks like when you first get it), but now knowing it’s looked that for 2 years…? NO. Come on people, use your brains. Don’t put this junk in yo bodies.
Came across this Apple Pie Baked In the Apples recipe, and decided to make it for dessert to celebrate 3 sisters-in-law coming into town tonight. They were delicious- being able to eat the container of your dessert is weirdly satisfying, but I wish there had been more crust- if it would have adhered properly, I would have wrapped the entire apple in pie dough before I put it into the oven. Anyways, the Granny Smith apples were awesome, but the Pink Lady was the best cause it was so sweet. Mine are gluten free and vegan (made with almond flour) but this is pretty easy to replicate with your personal fav pie dough and apple filling recipe- just cut the apples up extra small for the filling, and for the apple “bowls”, cut off the top, use a paring knife to score the inside of the apple pretty deeply without cutting through to the other side, then use the spoon to scoop everything out.
Even though I know “perfect person” is a completely untrue, unfair thing call somebody, I find myself thinking it of you an awful lot.
Also: holy crap that looks so good. Saving this for later.
Oh my…

Shark Extinction: The Shocking Truth
Ocean lovers everywhere, we are at crisis point. The top predator species in the food chain of our oceans is being hunted to extinction. Some shark specie populations are estimated to have declined by over 99% since the 1970′s!
The repercussions for marine eco-systems are dramatic and have devastating consequences down the food chain. To name but one example, species of Rays and Skates can explode leading in turn to the shocking decline of shellfish fisheries and a rapid reduction in water quality. And that’s just for starters!
lyssypoobears: lol that vegan argument is back on my dash →
you know vegans would have a leg to stand on if they just accept that not everyone is gonna be like that. I like meat! I wont hide that behind some health reason, though Im sure that there are health risk associated with it. what would these vegans do with all the animals that have been domesticated and breed solely for the meat the provide?
In a vegan society, there would be no domesticated animals for meat. These animals don’t just happen—they are raised for people to purchase and consume. They simply wouldn’t be produced by vegans and/or only live on sanctuaries.
The question is, what’s ethical? Not whether you like it. Unless you follow hedonism, which means you believe that if something makes you feel good, it is ethical. Do you think because you can enjoy something, it is the ethical thing to do?
Question a society that tells you it is okay to oppress and kill other beings (which show love, attachment and empathy for their children, mourn their dead, and are capable of suffering) because “you like it” or because “other people do it” or because you “don’t care.” Question an industry that encourages and thrives off of your apathy while they destroy your environment, keep poor people poor, abuse human rights, and abuse animals, as they take your money.
Well-fucking said.

Peanut Butter Banana Sushi! (tutorial)
Play with your food!
Okay, so this is NOT a health post, and I am NOT saying “Everyone go consume a bunch of processed sugary junk!” —- this is a YAY VEGANISM IS WINNING post.
My roommate is going through a pretty rough week, so the other night we went for a walk down Boylston. She had never been into Sugar Heaven, so I brought her inside and she had a ball trying all the candy. I was just idly browsing, thinking maybe I’d find a little something extra to add into my next giveaway, when one of the girls working there showed me this special list!
Not only do they have tons of vegan options, they have it advertised for the convenience of vegans!
Let’s go buy some amaretto cordials? I tried them - they’re… All I want for every Valentine’s Day from now on forever.
I just love seeing things like this.
sINCE WHEN
WERE SKITTLES VEGAN
WHAT
Skittles are gelatin-free now :)
I spy Daiya wedges!
(as always, click the photos to enlarge and see captions.)
i hit up natural products expo west for a couple hours today and had a blast! i didn’t get to see everything, not even close—-talk about vegan overload!—-but i did sample some great new and classic products. most exciting were the little gardein sliders i posted about earlier, the temptation soft serve machine at the chicago vegan foods booth, and some insane new flavored vegenaise varieties from follow your heart. (i’m talking horseradish and tartar sauce!) mind blowing. ALSO, austin-based queso makers food for lovers (one of my favorite brands ever) has come out with a new killer chipotle mayo and will soon be releasing a fat free country gravy. already having fantasies about that. if the gravy is half as good as the queso, i know i’ll be adding it to practically every meal.
one booth i didn’t make it to today, and i’m so bummed, is eat pastry. they make fantastic vegan cookie dough and have recently sent me samples of their new sugar cookie flavor. outta this world.
i know this isn’t as in depth as my previous expo west coverage, but i thought you all would enjoy a few snaps.
No mozzarella, though! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE MY DAIYA CHEESE MOZZARELLA STICKS GUYS? You’re KILLING me. Dead! I’m dead on the floor over here.

SO PERFECTLY SAID.this makes it so your dog can look down on people too
Oh yay, more unhealthy pet food!
Guys. Guys. You guys.
I have a great idea.
Let’s feed our carnivorous pets something with no animal protein in it whatsoever.
Flawless.
Vegan pet foods for carnivorous pets.
Because fuck physiology I need to push my morals onto everything and creatures that can’t argue with me or fight back are perfect outlets for this necessity of mine.
Animals eating other animals or their products? What are you, stupid or something?
Crazy talk I says, absolutely crazy…
Dogs are omnivores, not carnivores…just had to clear that up. ;)
Plants provide enough protein to sustain both people and dogs. Cats are a different story…they are strictly carnivores and require taurine that comes from meat. If a person chooses to feed their dog a vegan diet, the dog can get enough required nutrients from plant protein as long as they are fed a BALANCED diet.
Personally, I would rather have a dog that eats a food with high nutritional value than some filler food off the grocery store shelf like Pedigree or Old Roy.
When the time is taken to create a balanced and complete diet, vegan diets can work. Obviously, as with any diet, regular visits and check-ups with a veterinarian are necessary to ensure the dog is healthy and receiving all the nutrients it needs.
People are going to argue that a vegan diet for a dog is not “natural.” But with that way of thinking…is any commercially sold dog food natural? Does any grocery store sell live animals that dogs can hunt, kill, and consume? (Wild dogs, such as hyenas, eat the stomach and intestines first because of the nutrients they receive from the partially digested vegetation content within.)
The fact is, we have domesticated this animal and the diet that is necessary for the survival of a canine in the wild is not necessary for the normal house dog. It mirrors the same thinking in regard to humans, we are no longer forced to hunt and scavenge for our food, therefore we can choose where our proteins and nutrients are derived from.
One last point…plant-based diets for animals, much like people, have been proven to lower a dog’s cholesterol, and reduce the chance of strokes, cancer and heart disease. Many dogs have allergies to meat and their by-products and are forced to rely on a plant-based diet because of this.
“Personally, I would rather have a dog that eats a food with high nutritional value than some filler food off the grocery store shelf like Pedigree or Old Roy. “
^This. Most of the dog food out there is made with animal by-products anyway which is not the healthiest thing in the world.
