Ellen DeGeneres‘ pet food company, Halo, has unveiled a vegan dog food for animal lovers who want their dogs to eat like them.
The Vegan Garden Medley is a vegan blend of vitamins, minerals and the same essential nutrients as in meat based protein diets.
Peas and chickpeas provide digestible protein, while pearled barley, oat groats and potatoes are digestible carbohydrates and fiber. Healthy oils like canola, flaxseed and sunflower are added to the mix for good sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Vegan Garden Medley also contains numerous fruits and vegetables like sweet potatoes, blueberries, carrots and cranberries that provide vitamins and antioxidants.

Comments Off on Scott Jurek Says Go Ethnic To Go Vegan

If you like cuisines of the world, that’s another reason why you should go vegetarian.
So many cultures outside of America tend to use less meat in their dishes and make grains, vegetables and fruits the center of the plate.
Vegan marathoner Scott Jurek realizes this, and is often caught searching for ethnic spots when he’s on the road.
“It’s mostly about searching out ethnic foods, particularly when I’m in airports. You can still survive. In restaurants, a lot of times they have beans in the salad bar. Sometimes you have to look off the menu. It becomes a bit of a challenge, but usually Mexican and Asian are good choices.”
Mexican and Asian aren’t the only choices for great veggie food, as ChooseVeg has listed several popular vegan cuisines that are Ethiopian, Mediterranean and Indian.

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Kate Wolff The Vegan Joker (Video)

“I want my jokes to be at a higher level. I want jokes with premises that really tap into something. Carlin did something where he really made people aware of political issues and environmental issues while making people laugh at themselves. He was calling people out on their stupidity in a way that made them laugh about it. That’s a skill. I would like to get there. It doesn’t have to be environmental. I am vegan, so I would like to do some animal rights jokes, but it would be more about the suppression in society.I would like to somehow take those serious issues and make people laugh about it.”
—Kate Wolff, vegan stand-up comedian who looks like she’ll be making fun of tofu in the future. Until then, enjoy her commentary on Grandpa has STDs below.
