I love Field Roast!

I recently wrote this article over at the examiner.com, which is my first paid writing gig! Woohoo! I figured I would share it with all of you because I strongly recommend Field Roast products. And no, I'm not getting paid by Field Roast. LOL!



Here's the article:

Grain meat? Have no fear, it is merely a meat made from wheat protein and vegetables. But how can it be meat? Well, the word meat actually comes from an Old English word, mete, which referred to food in general. So, now we can understand why Field Roast touts themselves as being "the original maker of vegan grain meats". In fact, they're so delicious and meaty you could easily trick even the most dedicated carnivores.

Until recently, these grain sausages have been rather difficult to come by here in Philadelphia. Not anymore! Whole Foods at 10th and South St recently started carrying all three varieties of field roast sauages. They come in mexican chipotle, italian, and smoked apple sage. They also carry a delicious stuffed "celebration roast" that is essentially a small grain meat roast filled with stuffing.

So, you may be wondering what you exactly do with grain meat. Well, it can be used in any recipe that would normally call for the animal-based version. All the taste and none of the death. Not only will your body be thanking you, but the animals will as well. Perhaps the most delicious way to prepare field roast sausages is to thinly slice them and toss with whole wheat pasta, tomato sauce, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Voila! A hearty, healthy meal in no time.

It's important that we support these new products at Whole Foods so they will continue to carry them. It would be even better if you could talk to the grocery buyer and ask if they could get even more varieties of Field Roast products. Field Roast products are far superior than most of the other vegetarian meats on the market, so I highly recommend you pick some up soon. The only problem is, once you try them, you will be hooked!


Alright, gotta run, but know that I have just perfected my oatmeal date scone recipe that I will be sharing shortly! Be sure and subscribe below so you don't miss 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

Giveaway! Peta's Vegan College Cookbook

Since I have been slacking on the frequency of my posts, as I am extremely busy and will continue to be for the next two weeks, I figured this would be a great time to make it up to all of you and give something away. In fact, I will give TWO things away!! Yes, I have in my hands two copies of PETA's Vegan College Cookbook and I must tell you that it's quite amazing. No, I'm not just saying that because I got a free copy ;) As most of you know, I'm pretty anti-cookbook because I feel most recipes are way too complicated and expensive, but this cookbook certainly debunks that theory. In fact, most of the recipes have about 5 or less ingredients and every recipe looks super quick, super easy, and super cheap! So, enough with the endorsement and on with the giveaway! What do you have to do to win a copy? Simply post a comment. That's all. I have two copies to give away and I will pick two random winners. Here's a preview of the prize at hand: So, post yo

Guest Blogger: Melanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M.

Since I've been running short on time lately, I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to invite a guest blogger on board. You might remember I interviewed Melanie back in August on Eating Consciously Podcast #13 . I've read the book and I give it five stars all the way! If you haven't pre-ordered it yet, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Make sure you get a copy not only for yourself, but copies for the carnists in your life as well. Since this is a bit of a lengthy post, I won't take up too much more of your reading time, but I wanted to point out that you might be interested in watching this new two-minute video about the book: and now I'll let Melanie tell you a bit more about the book herself... Like most people, I grew up eating meat. I also grew up with a dog, who was my best friend throughout my childhood. And like most people, I didn’t think about how I could love my dog yet eat other animals daily without thinking about what I was doing or why.
