Remember To Never Forget by Stephanie Jorian, VLCE

Have you ever had a conversation with someone – maybe you’re just getting to know one another – and in the context of conversation you explain that you are vegan and they respond by saying, “I think it’s so great that you can do that, but I could never live without cheese”? I have heard […]

Your Health: A Social Justice Issue? by Chrissy Benson, VLCE

Many of us think of our own health as a luxury – something to value and appreciate, certainly, but not something we have an ethical responsibility to maintain.  We may want to think again.  Taking control of our own health could be the most effective way – indeed, the only way – to take back […]

Texas Food and Fashion by Kat Mendenhall, VLCE

In Texas there are two things that rule, food and fashion. Or is that fashion and then food? Either way, if you’re from the Lone Star state, an import here, or at the very least been a visitor, you know that everything is bigger in Texas. Food and fashion are no exception and this country […]

SIMPLY VEGAN

When my daughter, Adair, vegan from the start, was three or four, we visited my parents in Florida. All ready to go out for dinner, Adair listened intently as her grandfather asked, “So, are you ready for a big steak?” She became very serious and said, “I don’t eat cow” – lowering her voice for […]

Use veganism as a model to make an entire “home where the health lives” by Carol Schneider, VLCE

Your body is the sanctuary of your health – and your home can mirror that sanctuary as well. When my vegan life began in January 2009, I attacked my kitchen cabinets and fridge with gusto.  I didn’t want all of my healthy food in plastic containers, so I started saving glass jars for storage – […]

Eating Vegan with Food Allergies by Marissa Podany [Pesto Lettuce Cups Recipe]

We vegans like to think that we’re invincible when it comes to our diet. It’s a nice thought, but we can have food allergies and intolerances, too, and that can make becoming or staying vegan a challenge. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard, “Well, I’m allergic to soy, so I can’t be vegan,” […]

CAN I BE A LOW-CARB VEGAN? . . . You can be any kind of vegan you like . . . .

Humans can be afraid of a lot of things, from death to public speaking, but there’s another cause for fright out there and lots of health-conscious people are shivering in their athletic shoes over this one: carbs. Carbohydrate. One of the macronutrients that sustains life – and, in fact, the macronutrient we need the most, […]

Vegan at Any Age, by Barbara Becker, VLCE

At 57, the last thing on my mind was anything life-altering. One day, two co-workers (a vegetarian and a carnivore like me) mentioned trying the 30-day Vegan plan from Alicia Silverstone’s book, The Kind Diet.  I had never heard the term “Vegan”, so they explained it was someone who didn’t eat animal products. That sounded […]

Food as Vegan Activism

“Oh, vegan food.” I was at a party once, and after it became know that I’m vegan, the people I was chatting with starting joking about vegan food. They must have said “vegan food” ten times collectively. I reached a point where I couldn’t take it anymore and I asked, “Do you know what vegans […]
