On the Vegan "Diet"

Animal Person

My dogs eat vegan dog food. To say they are vegans is odd to me, though I have done that as the distinction is lost on most people and for the sake of a swift message it does the job. When I first saw PCRM's " Kickstart Your Health With a Vegan Diet " campaign, I let out a bit of a sigh.

On Mixing Bowl and Vegan Education

Animal Person

Next month, Meredith will begin an aggressive marketing campaign for Mixing Bowl, start a companion print magazine—and start launching cookbook authors through the site.

On "Animal Activism"

Animal Person

I want to talk about why we shouldn't be using animals and that it's infinitely easier to be a vegan than it was 20 years ago.
