There’s a big chance that someone you know is vegetarian. And there’s a 100% chance that someone you know of is vegetarian. All over the net you’ll find lists of well known vegetarians. No, don’t bother to go searching just yet, here are some highlights:
Susan B. Anthony (a leader in U.S. civil rights history)
“Weird Al” [...]
Today’s post is somewhat of a combination of the previous three:
What Do You Eat
Stay on Target
Creatures of Habit
I say that because what I want to talk about here involves what you eat, the steps needed to stay on target, and our meal habits.
If you would be able to look at the meals of everyone you [...]
Here’s a common exchange I used to have somewhat often:
“Oh, so you’re vegan?”
”Yep.”
“Must be hard.”
”Not really.”
“Well, I couldn’t do it.”

But this (bad) joke wants you to believe that the word vegetarian came out of the word vegetable when, in fact, it comes from the Latin word [...]
To start off this series of posts for Vegetarian Awareness Month I thought I’d give some basic definitions of different “stages” of vegetarianism as they are viewed today. Keep in mind these are simply the most common types of vegetarians you’ll meet. This isn’t meant to be a list of steps to follow, one after [...]
October is Vegetarian Awareness Month so I’ve decided to rev up my blogging habits (a lot) and have a post every day. It starts tomorrow (see, I’m not cheating and counting this as one) on World Vegetarian Day and ends right up next to World Vegan Day (Nov 1).
