Investors Looking For A Stable Buyer Base For Animal-Free

Vegans on Facebook act too unstable, too needy, too broken. Investors seek stability, not only in the product, the delivery, the quality, but in the buyer base, which for now is predominately vegan, which to them means predominately unpredictable. One must wonder if these vegans were unstable prior to stopping their consumption of animals orContinueContinue reading “Investors Looking For A Stable Buyer Base For Animal-Free”

ANIMAL ADDICTS

Many vegans on social media act like recovering addicts needing to sponsor someone in order to stay vegan. They first pick their families. When that doesn’t work they go outside the family.  That’s when they get desperate and start abusing others.  That’s when they fall. These are the vegans nobody likes. They’re too needy. Animal-eatingContinueContinue reading “ANIMAL ADDICTS”

Measurement Is My Language Of Cooking

MEASURING ACCURATELY The measured amount of each ingredient you put into a dish is directly related to the outcome of the dish. The reason we have measured recipes is because someone a long time ago discovered that so much of this and so much of that made a pleasing combination. They then wrote it downContinueContinue reading “Measurement Is My Language Of Cooking”

Cut Out The Processing Animal

We grow more plants to feed animals whom we kill to eat, than we grow to feed humans. But when we eat the animals we’re not getting the benefit of all those veggies eaten by all those animals, because the veggies are no longer veggies. The veggies eaten by the animal build muscle, fat andContinueContinue reading “Cut Out The Processing Animal”

My Criteria For Developing Recipes

 When developing recipes I go with what tastes best, and not with ‘what will do’. If I don’t like it from first to last bite I don’t ‘book’ it. Flavor, texture, color/appearance and aroma are the criteria upon which I rate every dish. The ingredients can be cheap, expensive or anywhere in between; as long as theyContinueContinue reading “My Criteria For Developing Recipes”

I Am An Animal-Free Vegan

Since some vegans today consume some animal-based foods as long as they’re organic, non-GMO, gluten-free and raw, I want there to be no confusion as to where I stand. Although I would prefer that all foods be organic and non-GMO, it’s not a deal breaker for me. Not now. Eventually the world will see theContinueContinue reading “I Am An Animal-Free Vegan”

The Call Of The Wild

It’s difficult to refer to 7.5 billion people on earth as terrorists and expect your ideas to live to persuade another day. People who use, abuse and destroy all other species as their right and for their pleasure are the terrorists of whom I speak. We all dance around that dilemma, how best to approachContinueContinue reading “The Call Of The Wild”

The Contradiction Issue

Upon choosing a healthier more compassionate diet, you will be challenged by those who have not yet taken that step, to defend your decision to not eat animals. They will argue that your animal-free diet contradicts your other animal using behaviors, thus making the issue of killing animals not worthy of consideration. They will pointContinueContinue reading “The Contradiction Issue”

Umami And Your Tastebuds

Did you know that taste buds are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper esophagus, the cheek and epiglottis? Betcha thought taste buds were only on the tongue. Me too. Wine tasters known for swishing the wine around the mouth are not only aerating it, they’re experiencing the wine through all of theirContinueContinue reading “Umami And Your Tastebuds”

MEN WORRIED ABOUT MAN BOOBS

Men and women are worried about the phytoestrogens in plant meats. If men are worried about being turned into a woman, what do the women have to fear, being turned into a man? An “occasional” meatless meal won’t give you a sex change? Who said anything about occasional? Meat at every meal is the deal,ContinueContinue reading “MEN WORRIED ABOUT MAN BOOBS”

BLOOD HOLOCAUST

We have the results of a holocaust in the meat department of every supermarket in the world. We snuff out callously and viciously the lives of other creatures for our own pleasure and gratification. And we’re untouched as we stroke the loins and marvel at the cut. All my senses, with all that I learn,ContinueContinue reading “BLOOD HOLOCAUST”
