GRID magazine feature, vegan videos, and Chenoa Manor!

It's official! This school term is more than half over and I should be able to breathe a little easier come mid-December. In the meantime, I didn't want you to have to wait too long for another post. So, here it is!

I was recently featured in the November issue of GRID, a sustainable magazine here in Philadelphia. I wrote about how to cook dried beans and gave a recipe for some spicy Black Bean and Quinoa Chili. Perfect to warm you up on these cold Autumn days! You can go to their website and check out the latest issue now. I'm on page 10.

While you're there, don't miss the Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake from my friend and fellow Philadelphia vegan blogger, Dynise Balcavage. She's on page 25. You may remember my interview with Dynise, A.K.A. Urban Vegan, a few months back. In case you haven't picked it up yet, her new cookbook is finally out too!

If you're more visually inclined, you might be interested in checking out some of the latest videos I've favorited on my YouTube channel, which I know you all subscribe to, right? The first video is titled, Inherent Violence, and is just one of several vodcasts that Colleen Patrick-Goudreau has recently started producing. She's one of my favorite vegan advocates, in fact, she is the person who convinced me to go vegan two years ago!



This second video is one that was recently recorded at the UniverSoul circus that is here in Philadelphia for the next couple of weeks. The civil affairs officers are so ridiculous towards animal advocates, they now have a YouTube channel all their own!



And finally, I wanted to share a recent article published in the Philadelphia Inquirer about my favorite sanctuary, Chenoa Manor. I personally spend lots of time there and have gotten to know many of the animals by name. Chenoa Manor doesn't have a huge budget, relying mostly on the income of Executive Director Dr. Rob Teti that he earns from being a veterinarian. I'm going to interview Rob on an upcoming Eating Consciously Podcast episode in the near future.

Currently, Chenoa Manor needs to raise nearly $200,000 to rebuild a historic barn on the property. You can donate on their website and every little bit helps. If you could make a contribution, no matter how small, it would mean a lot to me and make a world of difference for the animals that call Chenoa Manor home.

I'll leave you with that for today. Soon, I'll begin making plans for Thanksgiving and share the recipes and ideas with all of you. Until then...

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.
