On the Vegan "Diet"

Animal Person

AUGUST 12, 2009

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. At least they didn't say "vegan cleanse."

Books are obvious opportunities for advocacy and vegan education. How successful they are at creating new vegans or animal rights advocates depends on many factors. . Querying agents should involve research. Is your market vegans? The publishing business in the US is unfortunately celebrity-based. Think about that.

Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animal rights activists. Over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression , we’ve been discussing tactics and sharing our thoughts and experiences about what works and doesn’t work when it comes to advocacy.

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? My objection is: Why do such research when you don't need to? That action is to opt out and go vegan.

I alerted my regular (non-specialist) vet of this and though he didn't treat me like a crazy person, he didn't do any research, either. Other times, nine was too much and Violet would come close to crashing. He just figures I know what I'm doing. It was updated in mid December and is still not a recall. Supply is limited.

Every day, some people make the switch to entirely plant-based vegan diets. How many people know, e.g., that University of Chicago researchers have reported that by switching to a vegan diet, a person can reduce her/his carbon footprint by 1.5 I challenge you to try the following experiment: Turn off your TV for an entire month.

I say "if you know someone" because this isn't a book I'd recommend to vegans for their vegan education efforts. The vegans I know would probably find it a bit maddening, and here's why: We aren't sure whether Foer is a vegan. Not great, but good. He never says he is. But why does he say "vegetarian?" This is very silly.

Researchers have also learned that the cancer-causing chemicals that form in beef as it cooks also tend to form in chicken.

Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. Scientific research and expertise are needed here. Such animals would be incapable of feeling pain or having experiences of any kind. What Meat Should Not Be Eaten? If not, why not?

Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. I did go to Babies-R-Us for some odds and ends and here's the Animal Person-related experience. We named her Skylar and she's adorable and sweet and has a very punk hairdo.

Numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated that vegetarians, and especially vegans, have far lower rates of heart disease, cancer, stroke, hypertension, and diabetes compared to meat-eaters.
