E-cookbook giveaway, VegNews awards, and my birthday!

Well, it has been roughly one week since my e-cookbook came out and the response has been amazing. I hope everyone enjoys making my simple, funky, and cheap recipes and I look forward to hearing your feedback. I would like to give away 5 (yes, 5!) copies of Ready, Set, Go Vegan! to my loyal readers to celebrate it's arrival. All you have to do is enter your email address and I will randomly pick the winners on 7.10.09. Please enter here:



As many of you are probably already aware, VegNews is currently taking votes and nominations for this year's VegNews Awards. Anyone can vote and it takes about 5 minutes to complete the form. The best part is that you're automatically entered to win some great prizes including a tropical getaway for two!

You are probably just as surprised I was to see that Eating Consciously was not listed under best blog or website ;) This is where you guys come in. The nominees on the list are picked from last year's write-in nominations. When you fill out the form, you will see a box under each section to give a write-in. Please type in www.eatingconsciously.com for best website and best blog. Even if I don't win, I can still get on the nominations list for next year!

Lastly, my birthday is this Thursday. I'm turning the grand old age of 23. In honor of my birthday, I decided to raise money using Facebook causes to support my local farm animal sanctuary, Chenoa Manor. I have spent time there with the animals and have many pictures and videos to share with all of you as soon as I get the chance to upload them. I would like to help Chenoa Manor out because they currently need about $200,000 to help rebuild a barn to be used to house the pigs and display childrens' artwork. If you would like to contribute to this cause, you can do so here. Every little bit helps!!

That's all for now, but I promise to be back soon with new recipes! In the meantime...

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.
