Bulletins

I work 11-9, 5-6 days a week, and do not have the ability to cook at home. I'm working on getting my own house but who knows how long that will be. I used to eat Taco Bell constantly but I was warned of them... And I'm trying to avoid chains/fast food. Really, the only places I go to now are Fazoli's and Jimmy Johns because they are open late enough. Does anybody know of other places to go for good vegan food in St. Louis that late? Possibly even food that is actually marked as vegan, verified, or vegan friendly? Chain or not - I mostly just need options.

Micah has posted many pictures of world famous vegan bodybuilder Robert Cheeke. I haven't been around much and this is why. Robert along with 2 other vegan bodybuilders came to Phoenix to compete in the INBF Best of the West competition. 3 vegan bodybuilders same weight class same stage same time. They also filmed a documentary Vegan Brothers in Iron. Although I wasn't with them on stage, I did compete in the figure portion of the competition. I also gave up the eggs and preped for the show as a vegan.

There are two animal rights conferences coming up, and if anyone wants to carpool we can save some money and be nice to the environment.

1. Their Lives, Our Voices - June 12-14 - Minneapolis, MN

2. Farm Sanctuary Hoe Down - August 1-2 - Watkins Glen, NY

We are definitely going to the Hoe Down, so we have two spots in the car (unless you want to drive and have something larger).

So far it's just me for TLOV, so room for at least three more friends! Both are pretty cheap too.

Let me know if you're interested!

This is a very cool graphic. I don't have the source but I know its good- some dry academic thing...

The Belgian city of Ghent is about to become the first in the world to go vegetarian at least once a week.

Starting this week there will be a regular weekly meatless day, in which civil servants and elected councillors will opt for vegetarian meals.
Ghent means to recognise the impact of livestock on the environment.

The UN says livestock is responsible for nearly one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions, hence Ghent's declaration of a weekly "veggie day".

these are the cupcakes and they’re sold by the dozen. baker’s dozen if you’re lucky.

the holy glowing mother ($20)
this is my mother’s favorite cake, which is why I decided to partially name it after her. it’s
golden vanilla-lemon cake topped with bright yellow swirls of lemon buttercream which
create a miniature, friendly explosion in your mouth. not too sweet, not too sour.

Would anybody be interested in starting a new group for AR? Something better than START. Something better than PETA-praising, welfarist schmuck attitudes.

PM me if you're down.

Bam! Represent yourself in style with beef jerky business cards! Just imagine how impressed your potential clients will be when they realize that you have just handed them a dried and cured chunk of dead cow with your digits lazer beamed on top..

I guess it's for real, check it out

The clip at the above link shows an eagle being used to attack a baby deer. The more people who report this clip the better chance it will be taken down.

Click the link, then click "flag" and from the drop-down list of reasons choose "violent or repulsive content"; then from the second menu which appears choose "animal abuse".

Hopefully we can show the sick fuck who put this clip up that this is not ok.
