There are vegan bakeries all over the United [...]

So tonight I learned that Ira Black, guitarist for Lizzie Borden, was in the Los Angeles County jail system this month for a misdemeanor charge. Since I don't know anything about Ira Black that news didn't make much of an impression. However, Mr. Black was on a hunger strike... why you ask? Because the prison [...]

We’re Growing By Leaps And Bounds

I missed it... earlier this year, CNN ran a story about vegans. On June 11, 2008 CNN proclaimed that an estimated 10 million Americans have gone vegan. Wow. That would mean we make up a little over 3% of the total population. Woo hoo! We're growing by leaps and bounds. Jane's been saying that for [...]

Heather Mills Brings Vegan To The Bronx

Lane — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 07:13:09 +0000

Part of my daily commute runs through South Central Los Angeles. Those of you who don't know L.A. well, may know South Central because of the Rodney King Riots in the 90s. The prevailing opinion is that it is a dangerous neighborhood, but in truth, its reputation is far worse than the reality. It is [...]

The B12 Issue

Lane — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 06:25:07 +0000

When you transition to a vegan diet, non-vegans will always question where you're going to get your protein and calcium. Those who are slightly more informed about nutrition will often caution you that you will become vitamin B-12 deficient, since the best sources of vitamin B-12 are liver, milk, and fish. Well, there may be [...]

Back in September, an art teacher was fired in Illinois for teaching veganism to his classroom. They said he began teaching veganism and animal rights instead of art without telling school officials or parents, told students to keep it a secret, and then refused to answer school officials’ questions about what he was teaching.

Oprah’s Vegan Venture

Although we can't take credit for getting Oprah to try a vegan diet, Jane and I are pretty excited about the whole thing. I feel a little funny blogging about her so much, this is a vegan blog after all, not an Oprah blog (and I'm a guy -- next thing you know I'll be [...]

Score One For The Home Team – Oprah Tries A Vegan Diet

Lane — Thu, 22 May 2008 05:27:59 +0000

Though we'd love to say we had some influence in Oprah's decision to go vegetarian for three weeks, we really can't. We sent email to the Oprah show alerting them to our petition requesting that she do a program segment on factory farming. We received the auto response alerting us to the fact that they [...]
