• Mmm creamed spinach sounds good… Missthomas, I also crave sweets and chips a LOT… bread too sometimes. That’s my biggest problem. I think I may be getting over a sugar addiction. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a friend who’s been going raw / vega…

• Thanks so much everyone for your helpful advice. :) elizabeth- I also LOVE salsa and guacamole. I never thought to eat it with romaine… but that sounds REALLY good! shane- I know a green smoothie is probably a smart way to go but I’m always afraid I…

• I have to agree with you too, raw_earth… although its taking some time for me to come to terms with it. I’m more often thinking about the environment than my own health when it comes to eating animal products. But I decided today that I should at le…

• Zoe—I think I read the same book as you, about how pets should fast once a week. I couldn’t do it with my cat cause he’d flip out (also I find him to be too thin as is so I’m trying to fatten him up), and I wouldn’t do it with my ferrets cause they’…

• I went to school for my own personal knowledge, not for the purpose of getting a job. Most people don’t work under what they get a degree in, which is sad. I went to school becaue I wanted to learn something, which just happened to be philosophy. I …

• My detox experience wasn’t so bad… or at least, I don’t think its bad, but I suppose it has the potential to get worse. At first I had tons of energy, but quickly after my energy all but went away. This can be due to other factors (namely, I had a m…

• Pianissima- Indeed, just about ANYTHING is better than that supposed pet “food” they sell at stores. As far as feeding them veggies with the occassional hunted food item… It sounds good, but you need to be able to let your dog hunt. That requires an…

• Going back a little bit, but I thought of this today… Pianissima – You said: “ani phyo feeds her dog a completely raw vegan diet and he thrives on it. her vet. apparently thinks this is wonderful. i would LOVE to do this next time i have a dog.” I’m…

• SocaL- Well said. Zoe – ... sweet… I need to seriously look into this now. Most laws are ambigous. Unfortunately if you point that out and find a way around them, it will only work once. Then they change the law. :( ... However this article is from …

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by Katie
• Shane – I was just thinking that today: making the distinction of vegan diet and vegan lifestyle. I no longer tell people “I am vegan”, but if they ask I would probably still say “I eat a primarily raw vegan diet.”

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by Katie
• SocaL – Will do ;-) As for using animal waste as a fertilizer – is this truly against veganism to do this? I thought veganism was a philsosophy /lifestyle of non-harm to animals. Animals don’t need their waste. In fact, using their waste to fertiliz…

• I wonder if you could state religious or philosophical / ethical reasons for not paying your taxes? “I don’t support cruelty in any way, shape, or form!” Which would include factory farms, war, and in my opinion pharmaceuticals. Then again you would…

• No problem. :) It was just my philosopher-self poking through – I really do love to get at an issue from all angles to try and clarify it.

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by Katie
• LovesPeter- I don’t think anybody thinks you were offensive in saying that vegans don’t wear leather and wool. Instead, it was both how it was said and, more likely, the last sentance – “have some integrity.” This can be viewed as offensive. Also, J…

  in 100% Vegan? Comment by Katie
• Pianissima – thats a really great point… to focus on the positives, and not the negatives. It seems so obvious and yet is overlooked. And I also agree that little “slip-ups” while someone is becoming vegan, or even has been for some time, won’t imme…

• In response to debbietook, on how humans have free will and can choose either to cause suffering or not: This is a good point, but what happens when it comes down to: I really don’t want to kill that fish and eat it, because I don’t want to cause su…

• Well I tried again. I got another young coconut and this time just drank the water. It was good. :) I froze the meat to use another day, so we’ll see how that goes.

  in Coconuts? Comment by Katie
• Thanks :D All of this is really helpful. I’ll have to try a coconut again… There’s an asian market really close by so I’ll have to see if they sell them. Thanks again! =)

  in Coconuts? Comment by Katie
• You know, I can’t be sure, but from what I can remember it wasn’t off-color. It all looked white to me.

• What are you feeding him? If its store-bought kibble or even wet food (except maybe Halo pet foods) then this could be a cause for his misbehavior. I know my boyfriend’s cat was throwing up and going to the bathroom all over his parent’s house until…

• Usually, when I see people gossiping about someone else, or saying and doing anything negative, I view it as such: It is a reflection on THEM, not on the person they are harming/talking poorly about. Think about it. Their immature ways are truly an …
