It came to my attention recently, through Colleen at Cheap Wine and Cookies, that the author of the best-selling book and website The Happy Herbivore said that she's "not 'vegan' anymore". In a terrible turn of events, a conversation about honey turned into a bashing of epic proportions, where vegans vilified Lindsay's and her sister's stances on honey: "You shouldn't be calling yourself vegan … [Read more...]

Will the "supermoon" trigger natural disasters?
16 March 2011 By Leave a Comment
A story about a "supermoon" has been floating around the Pagan blogosphere recently, where amateur scientists and astrologer Richard Nolle have been predicting that the distance between the moon and the Earth, which will be the closest its been in the past 18 years (221,567 miles versus the average 238,000 mile), will cause massive earthquakes, volcanoes, and powerful storms in the wake of the … [Read more...]

Vegetarian Jokes and Witty Retorts
22 October 2010 By Leave a Comment
As vegetarians, we're the butt of a lot of jokes, from the kinda lame knock-knock-variety ("Did you hear about the vegan devil worshiper?") to the much-expected vulgar sex jokes about where vegetarian protein comes from ("She swallows!"). So I want to know... what are your favorite veggie-related jokes and witty retorts to vegetarian-related questions? They can be ones that you've heard, … [Read more...]
What does "free range" really mean? How "free" is it?
6 October 2010 By 1 Comment
What do you think of when someone says "free range"? If you're like most people, you imagine cows and chickens frolicking among fields, chewing cud straight out of the earth or pecking the ground for a worm who was unfortunate enough to wake up early that morning. There are flowers blooming, green grass growing, and sunshine warming the earth.This is what many companies would want you to think, at … [Read more...]

Food Inc.: The Incredible "Inedible" Egg
16 September 2010 By Leave a Comment
All right. I typically don't share links and stuff that lead to petitions, but I really had to share a link I just found through Facebook regarding egg recalls and the general state of factory farming in general. This goes beyond the petition itself and into awareness of where we get our food, most notably the reasons why we have found salmonella in things ranging from beef to avocados to, yes, … [Read more...]
Vegetarian Eats at the Maryland Renaissance Festival
13 September 2010 By 2 Comments
It was recently Matt's favorite time of year: When the Renaissance Festival came into town!Okay, not his favorite -- this is probably the second time he's ever been, and the time before that was a festival in Florida. Those in Florida are not all that impressive, I won't lie, but they are pretty fun regardless. This one, though, in Maryland? It was our first time going, and I have a feeling we'll … [Read more...]

We've all been there. You come into a restaurant with a friend, family member, or significant other, and you ask for a small table to accommodate your party.

You and your meal-mate smile at each other, lean back, and chat idly while you wait for your food to come out.Then... it … [Read more...]
