These are also great tips for people who are just beginning to lead a vegan lifestyle.
In relation to veganism—- one tip is to remember not to allow yourself to be bogged down with the negativity that results from incessant arguing between vegans and self-proclaimed omnivores. At best, I’ve learned, you can mostly only affect your immediate surroundings and just...
Anonymous asked: I wanted to repost the story about the little slave girl but couldn't because of the religious jargon in the article. I didn't find it very professional or legitimate, which is a shame because I usually like everything I read from this blog. -Sigh- this does not mean that I will ignore the issue of slavery this holiday season (or in any other season), but I will go find a different...

Backyard farms contribute to the deaths of millions of chickens every year. This is why:
1. Most backyard farms buy from feed stores. Feed stores buy their chicks from the same hatcheries that factory farms buy from. Hatcheries are very evil places, and farmers directly support them when they buy chickens from feed stores.
At the hatchery:

Two dolphins are dead after the Connyland themepark in Switzerland allowed a two-day rave to take place just a few yards from their tank.
The pair died agonizing, drawn-out deaths, seizing and foaming at the mouth. Veterinarians now say their deaths were likely caused by the ear-splitting music of the rave and drugs that ravers threw into the dolphins’ tank.

Want to make Christmas less pathetic?
So I personally don’t celebrate Christmas for a multitude of reasons, for which you can read about on the facebook page I made.
In short those reasons being
economic inequality
wastefulness (trees, gift wrap, one time use crap like that)

mostly a consumer holiday
you shouldn’t feel forced to give...

treekisser:
Most of you know I’m a fan of luxurious, cozy, faux fur, so I was thrilled to see Bebe promoting it with their “Ruffle Front Fur Trim Cardigan”
As you can see, it’s labeled as a “faux fur collar”. Fabulous! However, imagine my disappointment upon seeing this tag, found on the actual garment:
Yes, you read that correctly: “100% Dyed Fox”
If you squint carefully enough, you...

Feeding you is my way of sincerely showing love
(And I decided to put this post on this blog even though it’s a bit personal. I want to express to everyone how powerful energy is to me.)

Hello there! I am doing a school project on informing others about the food industry. I need 100 likes/rebolgs.
1.) Meat produces carcinogenic compounds when cooked
These are called heterocyclic amines and they get produced when animal flesh is cooked, especially at high temperatures. HCAs form when amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and creatine (a chemical found in...
Q and A

This image has been bouncing around Tumblr recently:
I thought that here was a perfect forum to address each one in a little more detail.
I know “you could never do that.” Well, no, that’s not true. You definitely could, you just don’t want to. Please stop saying you “couldn’t”.
No, I don’t eat fish. For some bizarre reason, to many people fish don’t count as “animals”....
