I'm looking for book recommendations on animal rights please? I went vegan at the beginning of the year and although animal rights wasn't the main reason, as time's gone on I have become more and more interested in it. I'm also interested in anything looking at veganism in society,rather than the health aspect, as I've already got a long list of books to read on that. I looked at the tags in ...

Remember musikbox , featured at the big kids' table ? Well, she's become a vegan! I was nice to her at first because I didn't recognize her, then after a few comments, I was pretty weirded out. Then another user pointed out, in vegan_snark , why she was familiar. It took her NO TIME AT ALL to bring up her mild mitral valve prolapse , I mean pulmonary regurgitation , I mean...

I found some low carb stuff recipes that I thought were really cool. I'm also going vegan so the recipes are good for both. Fettucine Alfredo: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/pastaandnoodlerecipes/r/veganalfredo.htm Just use low carb pasta. I really, really like Dreamfields. Pancakes: http://vegetarian.about.com/lr/pasta_recipes/83239/2/ Just replace eggs, and if you have any nut allergy...

Hi everybody! As I am sure you are now aware, vegetarian is now under new ownership. My fellow moderators stress yet again that this is not a ~hostile vegan takeover~ as some have suggested. We've spent the last few days cleaning up the community rules (mostly for clarity; only a few things were actually changed) and creating a list of commonly asked questions in vegetarian about...

(Original post here , by matt_nothing .) PLEASE REPOST THIS EVERYWHERE YOU CAN - WE CAN NOT STRESS HOW URGENT THE SITUATION IS Hello all, As many of you are aware, we are all furiously jumping hurdles, tackling obstacles, and tirelessly working day and night to make sure that the Win Animal Rights presence at the 2009 National Animal Rights Conference is strong, and we are able to reach...

Hey, all! For those of you inclined to do so, where do you get your wheat gluten? So far all the stores I've checked have just had super expensive small bags of Bobs Red Mill stuff. I thought I'd ask here instead of veganpeople  , because I'm concerned about price. For reference, I live about half way between DC and Baltimore. The nearest Whole Foods is about a half hour away, but I'm willing...

Sometimes, I feel like I fail at fandom. I mean, I participate in various ones and write fic that some do like. But I always feel just slightly like an outsider whichever it is. I think it's partly that I can be a bit reserved as a person and partly because my fandoms are British or American and I am Norwegian. It is a bit sometimes like playing a game where you only know half the rules, or dancing...

(Found by anonymous, left this in the sfd_anon comments. I'm just writing this up.) There's been some upset in the national vegan community for some weeks now- Ryan Smith , a member of the vegan activist scene, has been accused of raping, molesting, and stalking women and young girls in four different cities. While taking part in Philiadelphia's civilian rapist support group, Philly Stands Up,...

Could we have the following post deleted? http://community.livejournal.com/veganpeople/3674700.html?view=60709964#t60709964 Pretty much the post is advocating harassment of another user.

I know that a vegan diet is supposedly going to help my overall health and prevent Boots from getting all feisty, but I'm going to be honest, it's incredibly hard to stick to. There are things out there that you wouldn't even believe have milk in them. Stuff that just has no business having milk in it. Or gelatin. Which, by the way, I am not cutting out entirely, as it is good for joints. Today for...
