Vegan Eating Advocated On Commercial!

Lane — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:45:32 +0000

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time you'll know that I tend to get on my soapbox about the global warming thing. I find it incredibly ridiculous, that for the most part, the media is ignoring meat production as a prime contributor to the problem. (See: Reduce Your Carbon Footprint, Vegan [...]

Mark Bittman And Less-Meatarianism

Lane — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 05:27:34 +0000

If Jane ever leaves me, I'll know where to find her. She'll be back in NY looking for Mark Bittman. She loves the man, even if he's older than the typical male who might turn her head. Why does she love him? Well, there's his cookbook, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. She religiously reads his [...]

Taking A Bite Out Of The Global Financial Crisis

Lane — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 04:19:34 +0000

These days, you can't look at your reader, or turn on the news, without seeing stories of financial implosion or economic crises. Then there's global warming and the costs associated with fighting climate change. All of this gives us another reason not to eat meat (at least most of the time)... Turns out that eating [...]

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint – Go Vegan

Lane — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 05:59:42 +0000

As a follow up to my post, "Reason 812,417 To Go Vegan," here's a quote from one of my favorite resources... New Scientist Magazine. So for the average American, buying local every day of the year would cut their carbon foot print by only around 4 per cent or 400 kg of CO2eq per year. [...]

Reason 812,417 To Go Vegan

Lane — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:39:29 +0000

I don't consider myself a "hippie," nor was I raised by hippies. My parents were average middle class Americans, far from hippie. But I do have a fond memory of my childhood that could be characterized as "hippie." My mom used to collect cans and bottles for recycling, and when we had a bunch we [...]

Combat Global Warming – Eat Vegan

Lane — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:22:26 +0000

Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the US blogged about "Your Plate, Your Planet" (in other words, what you eat affects the environment) tonight. It's something I ranted about a few times over the summer. Eating lower on the food chain is a very effective tool to reduce our individual carbon-footprints. [...]

Buyer Beware

Lane — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:34:43 +0000

Everywhere you look, products are labeled "green." Most of the people Jane and I are friendly with seek to leverage their spending as part of a commitment to improving the environment (or at least, helping to stave off disaster). We jokingly refer to this as middle-class guilt. Marketers are, of course, aware of this trend [...]

Vegan Insect Repellant

Lane — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:26:52 +0000

Jane and I live in Southern California, but we're both originally from New York. So when we moved here we were both thrilled with the winter climate, but we do pay a price. Once it gets brutally hot outside (usually in August), we seem to be invaded by ants, and we're not the only ones. [...]
