A quick lunch for a busy vegan!!

Here's something I often make myself for lunch when I'm running low on time. It's a delicious eggless tofu salad that is almost too familiar of a traditional egg salad, minus the 24 hours of misery for a chicken for each egg you would have used. Yeah, when you keep in mind that not only are chickens the most mistreated animals in factory farms, it takes them approximately 24 hours to produce each egg. Think about that the next time you pick up a dozen of eggs, which contribute to a total of 12 days of suffering! So, here's my quick salad that you can throw on a whole wheat wrap, bread, crackers, or whatever else you have around. Feel free to throw in some chopped veggies too if you'd like. You can also make this sans the onions if you don't prefer their flavor, or the way your breath will smell afterwards ;)

Eggless Tofu Salad

1 block extra firm tofu
1/4 of a white onion (diced, optional)
1/4 C vegan mayo
salt and pepper to taste

Mush all ingredients in a bowl. Eat. That's it!

Raw Food Homophobes

While a raw food diet truly makes no sense for an ethical vegan , there’s another unethical consideration that should be taken into account. There’s a lot of evidence that many males in the raw foods movement are flat out homophobic. Not only homophobic, but also ignorant and disgusting bigots. Take the Raw Brahs for example, who recently made an extremely homophobic video featuring the self-proclaimed “ Life Regenerator .” The video features them taking a shower together and making homophobic statements and gestures to each other. The Raw Brahs are, to their own admission, “ solar powered Christian raw food radically honest nomadic elitist minimalist brothers .” In a book entitled, The Raw Controversies , page 118 cites that, “According to David [Wolfe] , Durian was a gay guy that went raw, and then 'left the dark side' and decided to go for women. David and Stephen [Arlin] were convinced that homosexuality could be 'cured' by the raw food diet. More speci...

Krony 2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s probable that you are at least remotely aware of the video that’s been sweeping the nation, Kony 2012 .  Produced and released by the nonprofit, Invisible Children (IC), the film is clearly compelling and has an almost hypnotic vibe to it.  The video does an excellent job at persuading the unthinking youth of the US with vivid images, emotional storytelling, techno music, and colorful Kony 2012 kits that come complete with signs and bracelets.  For only a few bucks a month, you can feel like you’re making even more of a difference for this tremendous cause, which over 77 million people have tuned into at most recent count. So, who exactly is Kony?  What’s the deal with Invisible Children and is there something we aren’t being told about this cause?  Since the videos release, the have been numerous, credible criticisms of the film.  So many, that the CEO of Invisible Children even released a video to dispute ...

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

I figured it's been a while since I've posted a recipe, so I decided to share one with you that I just created for the autumn season.  I also have some more recipes to post soon, like Boston Cream Pie, White Bean and Rice Soup, and Butternut Squash Stuffing.  Stay tuned (and subscribe !) for those recipes, among other things.  Also, there will be a new Eating Consciously Podcast episode in the very near future (featuring an interview with TimmyFan !), as well as a piece about communicating with non-vegans over at veganexaminer.com . If you try the Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, leave a comment about how it came out! 1 lb macaroni (I used whole wheat) 1 block extra-firm tofu 2 cloves garlic 1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground 1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground (or 1/4 tsp if freshly grated) 1 tsp salt (or more to taste) 1/4 cup Earth Balance (or olive oil) 1, 15 oz can cooked pumpkin  1 cup nutritional yeast Cook the macaroni according to the instructions on the...
