Many omnivores obviously have problems connecting the slab of steak on their plates with a living cow being raised in unbelievably cruel conditions on a factory farm thousands of miles away. Then there are the people who do see the connection – and they just don’t give a shit.
According to The Huffington Post, some Chinese [...]

Eating animals…while they’re still breathing

Catch-up
Wow! I’ve really neglected Vegan Mofo this past week or so. Sorry about that folks! I’m sick, and school is busy, but doable. I’ve been cooking a lot too, but, unfortunately, I haven’t been taking pictures. So here’s a very wordy look at stuff I’ve been eating this past week.
First (one with pictures!), I found [...]

Vegan MoFo Survey
I can’t believe I forgot to post yesterday! Wednesdays are usually hell for me, with class from 9-2 and again from 6-9. I wasn’t even thinking about food or blogging at all. So, here’s the Vegan MoFo survey that’s been going around to make up for yesterday, and later I’ll post for today.
1. Favorite non-dairy [...]

I <3 Isa Chandra Moskowitz
It’s probably safe to say that Isa Chandra Moskowitz is the most well-known vegan cookbook authors. She’s definitely my favorite. Her newest book Vegan Brunch has created a lot of discussion among vegan blogs, and I can only say that I feel lazy for not having bought it yet. The GirlieGirl Army has a fantastic [...]

Where the hell have I been??
I seriously wasn’t expecting to be away from Ahimsa for almost five months!! When I’m home for the summers, I usually don’t have internet. Since my mom doesn’t own a computer, I just don’t see the point of paying for just 3 months of internet. I can do without when I need to.
This summer was [...]

Update, News
First, just let me say that I’m sorry about the lack of posts this past week. I’m really stressed out about school (this is the last week of classes before finals), and I haven’t been in the best of moods (meaning I’ve been feeling pretty down lately for reasons I don’t want to get into). [...]

Earth Day: Factory Farming & the Earth
Today is Earth Day, a day when people celebrate the environment and eco-organizations everywhere are trying to promote sustainability. Since animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of the emissions contributing to global warming, I’d like to focus on the pollution, destruction, and shortages caused by factory farming. Even though many vegans may know [...]

Vegan Story
Well, I don’t have a vegan story for today. I need submissions. If you would like to have your vegan story posted here, just send me an email at ahimsablog at gmail dot com. I’ll need your name, the vegan story, and if you have a blog or website I’ll include that too. Please put [...]

Ahimsa – What’s New?
My love of blogging has been rekindled. I’m not sure what’s done it, but I miss blogging. So instead of a few posts every now and then, there will be at least one new post every day. Yay! To motivate myself to do this, and to attract new readers, I’m starting a series of new [...]

Lying about ingredients
Over at YumSugar, a culinary blog, there is a poll asking people whether or not they have ever served a vegetarian food that was not actually vegetarian. Thankfully, 76% of respondents said “No, that is wrong in too many ways.” It is wrong, and here is a number of reasons why:
Allergies. Some people have legitimate [...]

This is a holiday created by the Vegan Society, and this year’s theme is “improving the quality and availability of vegan food.” They have released an e-book titled “Vegan Catering for All” that you can download at the World Vegan Day [...]

No Kill, No Cage Animal Shelter – Amazing
This video almost made me cry. The animals look so happy at The Cat House on the Kings shelter.
I hope more shelters like the Cat House on the Kings show up around the country. It’s such a great idea. No cages and no killing while letting the animals have their freedom [...]

It’s time for FOOD!
I used to hate to cook, but after becoming vegan I realized that I was tired of eating salads and soy. So I learned to cook, and with that learning came my appreciation for the art. Learning to cook opened me up to a whole new world of experimentation, such as raw food.
A great way [...]

Pound Seizure
When someone takes an animal to a shelter, the last thing they think will happen to them is that they’ll end up in a research lab. But in many cases, that’s exactly what happens. Pound seizure, or when shelters and pounds sell animals to research labs, has been a problem since the forties. In Iowa, [...]
