I always enjoy hearing about well-known people who adopt the vegetarian lifestyle, especially if they’re well-known for their work with food. This weekend, on Boston’s NPR radio station, WBUR, Washington Post food editor Joe Yonan “came out” as a vegetarian and they’ve posted part of their interview with him on their website. It’s a great [...]
The Top Vegetarian Food Trends of 2013
Every year, all of the various foodie-interest groups release their predictions of trends in the coming year regarding what’s going to be on our supermarket shelves, on restaurant menus and on people’s plates. I found a really interesting article today on a cool blog called the MFABlog or Mercy For Animals Blog. The article, called [...]
And Now PETA Brings Us the Sexiest Vegan Contest!
I’ve posted a few times about PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian and Sexiest Vegan Contests and I also had the pleasure of announcing last year’s creation of the Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door, which allowed real people like you and me to be nominated. Now, PETA has just announced its new Sexiest VEGAN Next Door and you have [...]
Sprouted Seeds and Grains – An Awesome Vegetarian Protein Source
Until not too long ago, I thought that eating bean sprouts was for the “hippie fringe”, but you’ll have to cut me a little slack; I’m old enough to remember the 1970′s, when there was a hippie fringe, they did eat a lot of sprouts and they were the only Westerners who did. However, as [...]
Unbelievable Vegetarian and Vegan Valentine’s Day Treats
In looking through some of my favorite vegetarian and vegan cooking sites, I realized that the reason everything is red and pink and heart-shaped is that Valentine’s Day is upon us. I’d forgotten all about it! At any rate, my accidental epiphany resulted in me finding some truly scrumptious-looking vegetarian and vegan Valentine treats that [...]
What Exactly is a Paleo Vegetarian?
The Paleo diet would seem to be completely incompatible with the vegetarian lifestyle, but there is more and more talk of Paleo vegetarians in our midst. Since I don’t know too much about such a creature, I did some investigating. It turns out, there really is such a thing. One terrific post that I found [...]
Vegetarians 30% Less Likely to Have Heart Disease
This is probably not very shocking news to most vegetarians, but a new study released this week shows that vegetarians are over 30% less likely to have heart disease. It’s been all over the Washington Post, the news channels and several medical sites and I got an article about it in my inbox from Bloomberg.com [...]
Is Organic Going Too Industrial for Organic Vegetarians?
It’s no surprise to anyone who’s read this blog regularly that I strongly support organic foods, especially locally-grown organics. Aside from the fears about pesticides, herbicides and genetic modification, I hate what big industry has done to the families who are still trying to hang onto small family farms. I realize that not all vegetarians [...]
Recipes for a Vegetarian Super Bowl Menu
It’s that time of year again; time to pull out the team jerseys and pull out all the stops when it comes to laying out a great spread for your Super Bowl Party. Football fans and vegetarian snacks may not seem to go together all that naturally, but we have quite a few vegetarian friends [...]
Vegetarian Humor With a Point
Anyone with a cause can fall into the trap of being overly serious. Many of MY posts have been either pretty grim or pretty angry. But the truth is that a little well-placed and well-meaning humor can go a long way to promote a cause, especially to those that aren’t “believers.” I found an article [...]
