I remember how unhip it was to be a vegetarian not too long ago. But vegetarians have a new image and so does the vegetarian diet. In a great new [...]

3 Great Reasons to Cook Vegetarian at Home
We talk an awful lot about all of the moral and ethical reasons for eating vegetarian, both here and throughout the vegetarian community.

I was reminded of this yesterday [...]
Washington Post Food Editor Goes Vegetarian
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 [...]

Okay, right off the bat I have to confess that I’ve never watched the real housewives of anywhere and I don’t actually know who Bethany Frankel is, other than seeing her name on the magazines at the checkout line. But several stories that are cropping up about her this morning got my attention. Apparently, Bethany [...]
It’s the Meat-Eaters Who are Asking for More Vegetarian Options
It’s another one of those things that makes you say, “Huh, makes sense.” You’d think that the rise in vegetarian and vegan eating would result in more vegetarian options and more vegan and vegetarian friendly menus, but a story this weekend in the Columbus, OH paper, Columbus Alive, says it’s the carnivores who are bringing [...]
3 Great Vegetarian Christmas Shopping Sites
I’m all about shopping online this year. Not only is it saving me time and stress, but it’s helping me to cut back on all of the driving (read: gas and emissions) that holiday shopping usually entails. I’ve also been able to find lots of really thoughtful and unique gifts this way, rather than just [...]
