“The principled diet, the diet that’s best for our health and that of the planet, is unquestionably veganism, or at least near-veganism, or a very very plant heavy diet, or “less-meatarianism” or whatever you want to call it: a diet of mostly plants, none or very few animal products, and certainly no junk or ultra-processed food (among which you could count industrially raised animal products), even if it is theoretically plant-based.”

—Mark Bittman, in his New York Times column where he lists several articles and essays by people who agree with him that meat just isn’t a necessary item on the plate. Links to Bittman’s suggested articles like The Case Against Meat by Ezra Klein and more are found on his blog.

“Years later I went to a Farm Sanctuary event and I saw these cows. Their utters were so enormous that they were dragging down the ground that they were limping and falling down. And this is happening because I eat cheese! I said never ever again. That was it!”

—Rory Freedman, co-author of the best selling Skinny Bitch books, in an interview with Global Grind on what made her change from vegetarian to vegan. Because cows on farms are forced to produce unnaturally large volumes of milk–often with the assistance of machines–they’re likely to have breasts sorer than what you’d experience after a usual mammogram. A bacterial infection in the udders, mastitis, is very common in dairy cows but they are also prone to developing Bovine Leukemia Virus, Bovine Immunodeficiency Virus, and Johne’s disease (the human counterpart to Crohn’s disease).

Vegans, how many times have you heard the question, “But how do you make [insert food item] without [insert animal product]?”

If we all got a dollar for every time we had to answer, we might be able to buy out the meat industry!

Kathy Freston knows this question will never end, so she’s kindly posted a few of her suggestions for meat, cheese, eggs and every animal product in book.

“I have to say, I’m pretty blown away by these apps. Over 2000 recipes, timers, menu tips, charts, handy illustrations. But this app is less about technology — it’s just a cookbook in a new form. It doesn’t change the way you cook. It changes the way you look at recipes.”

“For me, the real question is: does it bring more people to cooking? If it does, wonderful. If it doesn’t, maybe it’s just a fad. But it’s way too early to say. We need to give it another 5 years or so. Really give people a chance to figure out how to use these things in the kitchen. These apps have the potential to make people’s lives easier.”

—Mark Bittman, on his new How To Cook Everything Vegetarian app, now available from iTunes for $4.99. Can apps bring more people to the kitchen? They make it a lot easier to build a collection of recipes and books that offer cooking instructions without taking up shelves in the kitchen. In addition to Bittman’s app, don’t forget to check out other vegetarian and vegan cooking apps.

The Internet’s infamous nasty gossip blogger Perez Hilton is taking time off from his usual cattiness to say some really good things about what citizens in the U.S., especially those residing in states like Hilton’s birthplace in Florida, can do to help stop laws from passing that would make it illegal to film factory farm abuse while undercover.

Lawmakers in states like these have been influenced by officials in agriculture that are getting scared of what videos like the ones PETA and Mercy for Animals have routinely used to bring charges of animal cruelty against farm workers who blatantly violate animal welfare laws.

“Whether you’re a meat eater or a vegan, you can stand behind the humane treatment of animals in the meat trade,” Hilton says in the video. “There are now bills pending in several states–including Senate bill 1246 in my homestate of Florida, that would criminalize the filming of animals on factory farms. What are they trying to hide? Do these farms house famous animals like Miss Piggy and Babe and these laws just seek to protect them from the paparazzi?”
