| 40-70 yr old vegans participants needed Pilot observational study to compare heart rate variability in vegans and age-matched omnivore controls – advertisement ‘Advertisement for use for recruitment of volunteers for study ref: BDM/12/13-84, approved by BDM RESC. This project contributes to the College’s role in conducting research, and teaching research methods. You are under no obligation to reply to this email, however if you choose to, participation in this research is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time.’ We would like to invite you to take part in a study to compare heart rate variability (a measure of heart function) between vegans and omnivores. The omega-3 fatty acids (fatty acids are the constituents of fat) are found mainly in fish, where they are derived from marine plants, but also in meat and eggs in small amounts. An intake of these omega-3 fatty acids has been proposed to influence heart rate variability. Since vegans lack omega-3 fatty acids in their diet, this study will investigate whether there are differences in heart rate variability between vegans and omnivores. Your heart function will be assessed by an Actiheart monitor, a chest-worn monitoring device that records heart rate and physical activity in one combined, light-weight, waterproof unit. If you are healthy, you do not smoke and you are aged between 40 and 70 years then you may be able to help us. We are recruiting vegans and omnivores. If you are interested in participating, we will need to ask some questions about your health first via telephone or e-mail (5 minutes) and you will need to be available to attend the Metabolic Research Unit of the Diabetes & Nutritional Sciences Division (4th Floor Franklin-Wilkins Building, Waterloo campus, King’s College London) for a clinic visit (approximately 2 hours). We will also ask you to complete a food frequency questionnaire, which includes questions about what you eat. In this visit we will record your height, weight, waist circumference, percentage body fat, blood pressure, and a fasting blood sample (20 ml equivalent to 4 teaspoons). We will then fit the Actiheart monitor and you will be required to wear it for the following 24 hours. During the recording period we will ask you to keep a record of daily activities (exercise, meals or naps). After the clinic visit is completed you will be served a light breakfast. For further information please contact us to request an information leaflet about the study. The study has been approved by BDM RESC at King’s College London, Reference No. BDM/12/13-84) and recruitment for volunteers will take place from May 2013. Thank you for your interest.

Reviewer: meri jane - - June 4, 2007 Subject: Plain Truth at the SF Veg Society Vegan, vegetarian, in-between...it doesn't matter what you (currently) eat, Howard Lyman is the real deal. "Mad Cowboy" was an eye-opening account of Lyman's transition from cattle rancher to an outspoken advocate of a vegan lifestyle. Lyman's writing style is informative with a touch of dry humor and this talk is no exception. Lyman starts strong and actively engages his audience and packs a lot of information in under two hours. Lyman is outspoken without coming across as self-involved or condescending. I've not had the chance to hear him in-person so I was VERY excited to find this gem on Internet Archive.

| A Fresh Irradiated Salad - “radura” flavor So after covering it in tortured animal sh*t / waste they want to irradiate it! Ref - http://www.happycow.net/blog/?p=188 New - "glow in the dark" iceberg lettuce and fresh spinach. Quote - "The FDA insists the practice is safe, and the agency says that when irradiated under the conditions specified in the final rule, the greens retain their nutrient value." My addition - ".....and the sh*t will retain its flavor". Nice decision for Americans by the FDA! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The article - +A Fresh Irradiated Salad+ +The FDA Approved Irradiation of Lettuce and Fresh Spinach. Is That the Best Way to Prevent Foodborne Illness?+ By Annie Bell Muzaurieta We've seen our fair share of outbreaks of foodborne illness over the past few years. In an effort to address this problem, the FDA announced last week a final rule that allowed the use of ionizing radiation on iceberg lettuce and fresh spinach to control foodborne pathogens such as E. coli, and to make the products last longer on the grocery store shelf. Currently, some hamburger meat, poultry and spices are irradiated to kill bacteria, but until now US producers were not allowed to irradiate fruits and vegetables for food safety. Fresh iceberg lettuce and fresh spinach that has been irradiated will have to be labeled with a “radura” logo along with either the statement “Treated with radiation” or “Treated by irradiation.” The FDA insists the practice is safe, and the agency says that when irradiated under the conditions specified in the final rule, the greens retain their nutrient value. But does this really address the source of the problem? Stephen Hedges in the Chicago Tribune writes that this is the latest example of the FDA using a technical fix to treat a biological problem. He suggests that each of these decisions--approving irradiation on meat, approving the application of carbon monoxide gas to keep meat red, approving the sale of meat and dairy products from cloned cows--"has broadened the philosophical divide between food manufacturers, which generally favor the expanded use of such technology, and many food safety and organic food groups that oppose it." Bill Freese, a science policy analyst with the Center for Food Safety in Washington, is quoted in the article: "Food irradiation is a pseudo-fix. It's a way to try to come in and clean up problems that are created in the middle of the food production chain. I think it's clearly a disincentive to clean up the problems at the source."

| A Lapsed Teenage Vegan Attention teenage vegans: How do younger vegans cope? If you are vegan and your family isn't, what happens at meal times? What happens when you go out to eat? -------------------------------------------------------- I ran into a former high school student yesterday while shopping at a local supermarket. Towards the end of the last school year, I taught a vegetarian unit to my advanced class. I began this unit by showing them a documentary, Vegucated. If you haven't seen Vegucated, it's a great film. The producer who is vegan, found 3 non-vegan New York City residents and challenged them to go on a vegan diet. In addition to education about nutrition, they learned about vegan cuisine from a chef, went shopping for vegan foods that resembled non-vegan food products they enjoyed, and visited some farms. After watching this film and completing the 2 week unit, this student whom I will refer to as Rosa (not her real name), announced that she wanted to be a vegan. I had concerns about this because we live in rural Arizona. There are no local vegetarian restaurants and unless you're a lacto-ovo vegetarian, it's easy to starve if you're invited out to eat with friends because there's almost nothing suitable for a vegan on any of the menus. On top of that, the local supermarkets are not vegan friendly. Shopping for groceries can be a challenge since every ingredient listing has to be scrutinized. Much of what I stock in my pantry is ordered on-line and I typically restrict purchases at local stores to selected canned goods, fresh fruit and vegetables, soy cheese, and soy milk. One supermarket, Basha's, has a health food section that isn't labelled and is discretely tucked away in the far corner of the store. The health food section contains some basic vegan food stuffs ... TVP, flax seeds, gluten etc. but these products are much more expensive than what I purchase on-line. Shipping charges are generally not a problem. Most of my supplies either come from Amazon (which offers free shipping to Prime members) or Bulkfoods.com which offers UPS ground shipping for just $5 for any order over $75 total. Anyway - the school year ended and the students took off. I ran into Rosa at the supermarket the other day and surprise-surprise, she wasn't able to stay vegan during the summer. Her father did not approve of this dietary choice but instead of arguing with his teenage daughter which would just have gotten her dander up, he took the family out to a local STEAK HOUSE for dinner. Rosa initially ate a plain baked potato and a salad. That's all that was available for a vegan. Her family chowed down on T-bone steaks and before dinner was over, Rosa had broken down and ordered a T-bone steak as well. I was sorry that Rosa fell off the proverbial wagon but this was not unexpected. It isn't easy to be a vegan in a rural area. Rosa had no support system. Her family essentially told her that she could eat whatever they served or go hungry. Since she's a teenager, she didn't have much money to purchase her own groceries and even if she did, local supplies are very limited. As a high school teacher, I find myself wondering how younger vegans cope. If you are vegan and your family isn't what happens at meal times? What happens when you go out to eat? When I became vegan, it wasn't too much of a struggle for me. I'm a bachelor, so I don't have to accommodate anyone else during meals. Although all of my friends are non-vegan, I've learned to eat before going out with them to dinner since the local restaurants are not vegan friendly. I had one experience similar to Rosa's ... going to a local restaurant and realizing that the only thing I could eat was a plain bean tostada with lettuce and tomatoes. I couldn't even have the salsa because it contained sugar. That was a miserable meal that was made worse by the fact that my friends were chowing down on their non-vegan meals with gusto. Ah well ...

| A tiny green smoothie delivery co Hi HappyCowGirl, I hope it's okay I post this here, if not, I apologize and understand it must be removed. I thought the community would like to know about Kale Power, a tiny raw food green smoothie delivery company based in Davis, California. Founded by Brigitte Center, certified in plant-based nutrition from Cornell University and participated in David Wolfe's Raw Nutrition certification program through Bodymind Institute. She's crazy about Kale. She makes her smoothies from organic whole food ingredients and ships them anywhere in the U.S. She's quality through and through. I'm hoping to spread awareness and help her grow so she can continue to blend these low sugar little beauties and ship them to me. :) Oh, she delivers free to California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona for free.

| a veg*n and animal liberation future? This of course is hypothetical because the chances of the entire world going vegan in the future is impossible. However, if it WAS possible, what do you think would have to happen NOW? My main concern is how politicians are affected by the beef and dairy and fast food industries. How can the world be educated to know that these industries have perpetuated the myth that consuming their products will make them healthy? What types of activities or campaigns do you think have the most affect in turning people away from consuming and wearing animals? (slaughterhouse footage? Education about veganism? Education about the environment? Celebrity and other endorsements? Anything else?) And what do you think the future would be like if everyone was vegan? What would happen to all the restaurants (fast food and other?) What would happen to the economy? What industries would disappear and which would flourish? What would happen to the hunting industry? What about the fashion industry? Zoos? Circuses? Vivisection? What about all the people who are now employed in the business of animal slaughter? (not just slaughterhouse employees, but truck drivers, etc) What will happen to the crime rates? Will they go down? (would people be less aggressive if they did not eat meat?) Do you think religious / spiritual people will feel more in tune with their god or goddess or gods because they are finally not taking part in anything that kills another living being? What do you think would happen to the health industry once people aren't getting sick and dying from consuming all the meat and dairy? How else would the world be affected in POSITIVE ways?

| £1m to open the Harrods sale rejected This has been forwarded on a UK veg*n mailing list. I must stress that this not an endorsement of the organ publishing this feature ------------------------------------------------ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1075609/Leona-Lewis-turns-1m-open-Harrods-sale-anti-fur-protest.html Leona Lewis turns down £1m to open the Harrods sale in anti-fur protest The X Factor winner turned chart-topping recording artist Leona Lewis rejected a £1m offer from Harrods boss Mohammed Fayed to open this year's summer sale because the department store sells fur. A staunch vegetarian since the age of 12, the Bleeding Love singer stuck to her principles and turned the lucrative offer down, the job going instead to 52-year-old Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall. Lewis, who was this year voted animal rights campaign Peta's World's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity, said: 'I'm totally against animal cruelty. 'I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from any animal products.' Harrods, which declined to comment, is the only department store in the UK that continues to sell fur, and is regularly targeted by animal cruelty campaigners. Its sales are traditionally opened by an A-list female celebrity. Most of those invited have jumped at the opportunity to parade around Knightsbridge in a horse and carriage before being given a private tour of the discounted goods by Mr Fayed himself. Last summer, Hollywood actress Sarah Michelle Geller, 31, was given the honour, while singer Lily Allen, 23, opened the winter sale last December. Other leading ladies who have cut the ribbon include Victoria Beckham, 34, Eva Longoria, 33, Christina Aguilera, 27, and Lucy Liu, 39. Meanwhile, Lewis is reportedly in talks with Bhs boss Sir Philip Green about creating a range of nonleather bags and shoes for Topshop. Post Date: 10/11/08, Replies: 1 | ||

| Advice for 3 year old to become vegetarian Hi, new to site. Considering going fully vegetarian (we eat organic poultry & fish) but I have a 3 year old and a baby on the way and want to ensure they get all the nutrients needed WITHOUT allergenic soy, peanuts, gluten.... I am not a fan of soy unless it is fermented and all the meat alternatives look like meat and are made of soy. Only tempeh is fermented and I can't find it at our health food store. Can someone give me a list of types of meals that kids would enjoy on a vegetarian diet. We'll work on vegan at a later stage. We don't drink milk, but do consume organic cheese and yogurt. We also eat fish for protein and omega 3 oils. Do you consume flax oil for Omega3? Thanks! Post Date: 08/05/10, Replies: 10 | ||
| Advice for a New Vegan? :) Hi guys! I have been an ovo-vegetarian for a couple of years and just transitioned to a vegan. I've plugged into several vegan support groups, started listening to vegan podcasts, and will be starting work at a vegan business soon. I still face a lot of judgment, discouragement, and criticism from many people around me, though. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for staying motivated and encouraged as a baby vegan? I feel very strongly and passionately about my decision and know in my heart that it is what I want to do. I just want to figure out how to surround myself with more support. Also, side note: I got my boyfriend to transition too! Yay! Anyway, peace and love--LY808 Post Date: 01/18/15, Replies: 5 | ||
| Advice on non-vegan parent For most of the year I live in a vegan household; my mother and twin sister are vegan. My dad works abroad and when he comes home he buys disgustingly unhealthy junk food that contains dairy and eggs. He's vegetarian but is very against veganism. I get very emotional when I see animal products around my house and in my fridge because I'm not used to it, but the main reason I think I get upset is because I know that they're so unhealthy, he's quite a bit overweight and it upsets me to know that he keeps abusing his body. I'm not like this with most people but he's my dad and I love him so much. Advice needed! Post Date: 02/14/16, Replies: 3 | ||

| Advice: went vegan after 2 years being veg Hello! I'm a new member of this community, and I've been reading a lot of topics around here lately. I've recently went vegan (mostly for what I'd call ethical reasons) after being vegetarian for almost two years. I feel really well, especially physically. My skin looks a lot brighter and clearer already. However, I've been suffering from stomachaches. I read that is normal in the beginning because your body is getting used to the increased amount of fibers in your diet. Is that true? Has anyone here ever went through the same? How long did the problem last? Thank you very much. Post Date: 05/05/16, Replies: 2 | ||
