Vegan Forum

It is nice to talk to you again, BigBecka :). Oh, my, that does not look like good traveling weather at all! Around here, the weather has been very rainy, but not nearly that bad. My summer has not been too exciting at all, unfortunately. Stress, due to a lot of family problems, has been keeping me ...

Hello to all. I just wanted to let you all know I did not forget about this place. I have been a bit busy lately, but I am definitely going to start posting more. How have all of you been? Do any of you have anything new to share? It certainly has been a while.

Good day, everyone. I recently made this recipe I found online as a dessert for Easter dinner, and I HIGHLY recommend you try it out (if you have access to all of the ingredients, that is). The original recipe came from this link: http://www.vegsource.com/talk/recipes/messages/10000871.html , howeve...

That is a great topic. Personally, I could never eat a rabbit or any other animal, whether I had to kill it myself or it was already dead. That is a tough situation, though, because as BigBecka said, you don't know what is poisonous and what is not when you are stranded in a foreign area. I think th...

The only information about the effects of dairy that I have read was in a chapter of our textbook about why breastfeeding is better for babies, but I have noticed that there is a LOT of research articles on the internet about the problems with dairy. Most of the people in my course agree that breast...

11?! The lucky sods! :D I had breasts at nine! (My mother was part of the 'eating dairy every day - every meal most days - to prevent osteoperosis' brigade) If society won't ban dairy, they can at least start making bras for children! :protest: That is early! I'd say that I was around 11. I agree w...

I don't agree. Why shouldn't we drink milk or cheese? They are some very healthy aliments, rich in Calcium. If people consume them for a few thousand years, and there wasn't any loss in cow numbers, I think that this shouldn't be a problem for anyone! Don't assume that milk and cheese are as health...

Thank you for sharing that about Amazon. I will have to check their grocery store out some time soon.

Have fun watching "Lord of the Rings." It is a great movie (or trilogy, I should say!)

I am sure that you're not the only one; you're just the only person who is brave enough to admit it .

I just tried Tofutti's cream cheese, and I have to say that it is not bad at all! I think that I actually like it better than regular cream cheese. I am going to attempt to make a vegan cheesecake soon .

I just thought that I'd mention that I was on Tofutti's website a few days ago searching for local stores that carry their products and luckily found a couple! I used to be an extreme cheese-lover before going vegan, and I've been craving it lately (especially cream cheese). The store that is closes...

I am not exactly positive if this is the only reason why tomatoes are considered a fruit here, but I believe that I have read somewhere, or heard from someone, that it is due to the fact that tomatoes have seeds. Apparently, every food that contains seeds is now considered a fruit. Most stores here ...

You went to the U.S. :o?! I wish that you could visit here again so that we could meet. You seem like an awesome person! Anyway, I was going to ask you or anyone else here the same question. I haven't had pancakes since long before I became a vegan and still ate eggs, and all of the recipes I can fi...

I still consider tomatoes vegetables, although I often seem to get attacked for it . It is strange how some people are so sensitive to that, or maybe they just don't like the fact that I am stubborn .

well maybe if she wasn't so negative I wouldn't have to be disgust I'll bake us some vegan treats anyway!! I'm crazy for peanut butter it's my fave food. Vegan peanut butter cookies....hmmmm... I don't do enough baking!! Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods, as well. Sounds like vegan peanut b...

You know, I haven't had pancakes in a long time. I am craving them now. I think that I shall whip myself up some tomorrow morning .

The difference between humans and other animals: we have the ability to differentiate right from wrong. Hm.. there are animals that also seem to know the difference. Like some dolphins saving people that drawn. Chimpanzee aunties that adopt their orphaned kin. Etc.. And there are also humans that d...

Nice seeing you around, Tracy .

Wow! That all sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing .

Would it be reasonable to ask a lion to justify his killing of an innocent gazelle? Of course not: it is natural for the lion to kill the gazelle and that is justification enough. And what of a gazelle's right not to be eaten? Put this way, you can see that such questions are really meaningless. Th...

I enjoy getting new ideas for cooking, so I was wondering what everyone's favorite vegan recipe is. If you have more than one to share, or if you have a favorite site for vegan recipes, that is even better .

What are you trying to do, blind us ?

Hehe I am kidding . I love these things, especially the spiral ones.

That information was taken from what I have read in a book called "The Developing Person" by Kathleen Berger, but here are some sources that have related information: http://www.pennhealth.com/health_info/pregnancy/000115.htm http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/T020600.asp http://www.webmd.co...

Thank you !

I am sorry that you were late for your date . Traffic jams are no fun.

I spent mine alone listening to music and making jewelry. Pathetic, I know .

Becka, isn't it just a bummer when those things happen? It seems that something similar to that happens to me just about every time I attempt to go out to dinner :angry3:. I also always feel that I am putting people out of their way by explaining that I am vegan and trying to tell them what I do and...

Happy Valentines Day! I get the best of both worlds. My birthday is a day before Valentines Day, so I get sweets galore this week . Have you done anything special for Valentines Day, Andy?

And the only solution I see is to promote vegan lifestyle as much as we can. Especially among hot babes :D Well, if all of the vegans are female, what am I supposed to do :-?? I think that us veggies are lacking more in males than we are females, which is a major inconvenience for us ladies :(.

I realize that this question was answered by a few people already, but I thought that I would add an interesting fact for those who are still curious about why one would choose not to consume cow's milk. I have been taking psychology and human development courses, as I am very interested in those su...

It is! I'm supposed to be writing serious stuff, but keep getting sidetracked...

Same here!

:) Race you to 500 posts!

You're on !

lol !

This forum is addicting, though. I think that one day I will be posting so much that you all will be sick of me .
