Perspective on Weirdoes
Many people find me a bit strange for being vegan. Yet I’ve never had someone call me a weirdo until today that is. Some of my conversations at a family gathering today went something like this:

Other: “What about...

It seems that the current economic downturn may be good for cows! Today the Journal Star in Lincoln, Nebraska reported that the “economic downturn may continue to diminish the demand for beef.” Here in Nebraska, that may seem like bad news for farmers but for vegans it seems to give us a...

Pit Bulls and Beef Bulls

Humane Veal Production, WHAT?
I was recently reading a copy of Arizona Veterinary News. It’s a publication for veterinarians here in Arizona. I love many veterinarians. I have four dogs so we visit vets often. My brother and sister-in-law are vets. They help a lot of animals and save lives every day.
But there are also vets...
Vegan Weight Watchers – It’s not an oxymoron
Most people stereotype vegans as skinny people with a ashy grey complexion. That couldn’t be further from the truth. And just because I like to crack open ridiculous stereotypes, I going to explain how vegans these days can actually be overweight! Yes it’s true. While we like to believe that...
