Savory-Sweet Cornbread

Here is the recipe for that cornbread I promised. It definitely helps take some of the edge off of that spicy chili. The addition of onions and jalapenos make this cornbread savory, but the agave nectar provides just the right amount of sweetness to balance everything out. Not looking for savory? Just leave out the onions and jalapeno. Olive oil can also be substituted for the Earth Balance, although it will not have that traditional "buttery" flavor. So, here it goes.

Savory-Sweet Vegan Cornbread

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup corn grits (polenta)
2 TBS nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs earth balance melted
1 cup soymilk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 onion diced
1 jalapeno pepper diced
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 tbs earth balance for pan

In a bowl, mix together melted Earth Balance, soymilk, onion, jalapeno, and agave nectar. In a separate bowl, combine the pastry flour, corn grits (polenta), nutritional yeast, salt, and baking powder. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix thoroughly. Use the remaining earth balance to grease a 9" square baking pan and fill pan with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

    I usually just go for straight-out sweet cornbread (what a surprise) but your version sounds pretty tasty, too.

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 ...
