Don't forget the raw vegan "pumpkin" pie!
The crust is nut based, and the filling is sweet potatoes, agave nectar, and cashews!
A dessert that the whole family will love, and it's raw vegan! Awesome! :)

SAFARI
I am so excited for the first meeting of SAFARI. That is the animal rights club that I started at UMaine! I am ready to inform more people about the injustices that go along with using animals for food and clothing production.
I am against anything that harms animals. So naturally, I would like to help them.
Our first meeting is next Tuesday night at 6 p.m.
I can't wait to share information with all of the excited members! :)
I have been collaborating with the Bangor Humane society, so hopefully we have some volunteer opportunities soon!
Animals have feelings too.
Veganism is love and I'm a lover.<3

Ignorance
It seriously annoys me when meat eaters refuse to watch films, videos, or short clips of what animals endure during the meat or clothing production process. You are paying for this to happen! Open your eyes, you immature idiot.
Meat eaters are disgusting! How can people eat the bloody flesh of murdered animals? Do you have no compassion?
People need to open their eyes and look at what is happening behind closed doors. Would you work at a slaughter house? Probably not. So why are you willing to pay for somebody else to murder for you? When you pay for meat, you are in fact directly contributing to the murder of innocent lives.
Animals can feel pain. Meat is murder. Open your eyes.
Don't refuse to see with your eyes what animals endure with their bodies.

Salad with flavor
I made a delicious salad today!
I started with lettuce and then added:
- a carrot based pate, with dill weed and lemon juice for flavor...yum!
- sprouted radishes, lentils, and broccoli
- wheat grass
- fresh picked peas and green beans

Julia Child and vegetarianism
Julia Child is known as a great chef and inspiration to many chefs today. She clearly did not understand vegetarian lifestyles.
From the magazine People, August 2009:
"We didn’t know many vegetarians years ago. Not eating meat became the thing to do some places in the ’60s, but the movement is much bigger in the ’90s. Personally, I don’t think pure vegetarianism is a healthy lifestyle. It’s more fear of food—that whole thing that red meat is bad for you. And then there are people who don’t eat meat because it’s against their morals. Well, there’s nothing you can do with people like that. I’ve often wondered to myself: Does a vegetarian look forward to dinner, ever?"
Wow! How times have changed! It is common knowledge that vegetarians and vegans have lower cholesterol, fewer heart problems, better skin, and live longer than meat eaters!
Although it seems that vegetarianism is a phase or a cool diet of today, vegetarianism has been around for a long time.
From this history of vegetarianism (http://www.dfwnetmall.com/veg/historyvegetarianism.htm):
"The word vegetarian is derived from the Latin vegetus which means whole, sound, fresh, lively. The first instance of its use was not found until 1842. On September 30, 1847, a group in England had the inaugural meeting of the Vegetarian Society. This original group of 140 free-thinking individuals publicly supported meatless eating. Their publication, Vegetarian Messenger, urged people to live and let live."
More people should adopt the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. While vegetarianism is often a diet, VEGANism is a lifestyle.
I am vegan because I love animals and believe that humans do not have the right to mistreat or abuse animals for their sake. Whether it be for food, clothing, or entertainment. Animals have the right to live on Earth as much as any humans do!
If you want to find out more about veganism/vegetarianism, or need some convincing to turn a new leaf; check out this great movie! You can watch it for free on the website!
