Meatless Monday/ Recipes/ Veganism

Pureed Potatoes with Watercress. Easy, vegan and delish.

I am convinced that Mondays are collectively, the most yummy day of the week. Here is a recipe that you should make because watercress is awesome and you and I both know that you don’t eat it often because like me, you get stuck in the produce rut if kale, avocados and more kale. Pick up some watercress and give this a try. You’ll be happy you did. Simple. Tasty.…

THE BROWN LINTIES by Jessey Wade

So who exactly were Jessey Wade & Ernest Bell ? Why have they dropped from the memories of most of today’s animal lovers? About Jessey Wade’s personal life we have discovered very little; we do know that Jessey was working for animals / fighting for animals from the mid-1890s onward. We have records of her dynamic pro-animal activities for a period of approx. 50 years. The Ernest Bell Library has more than 150 pieces of Jessey’s…

Animal Rights in the Mainstream Media

Last month, Chipotle shared an ad that gained some media attention. Most notably, there were some tear-jerker moments that included the saddened face of a cow and a chicken being injected with hormones to “beef it up” behind closed doors. I admit that even I was emotional during this video. It’s really powerful and even though I don’t think anyone will become vegan or vegetarian after viewing it, there’s certainly…

Leather Without Killing the Animals is Here – Biofabrication

Imagination is bringing science into new realms which may soon put an end to animal suffering. It’s already possible and is being done through bio-fabrication which is environmentally responsible, efficient, and humane. This is a great first-step in introducing lab-grown products like Lab-Grown Burgers, and the leather can even be grown to exact shapes, thickness, color, and texture. Watch this (short) excellent talk by Andras Forgacs which argues that biofabricating…

The Isle of Vegetariana by G. Bedborough

This is one of the earliest vegetarian children’s stories in English that we have discovered. George Bedborough’s thinking is delightful. I particularly love his reflections on militancy. ! Please remember that this story was written more than 100 years ago – just pre-WWI – it is ‘pre-factory farming’ & does not go ‘all the way to vegan’. The ‘non-vegan’ section is highlighted in purple. Mrs Duck and Mrs Cow are pragmatists –…
