Questions & Answers

Does anyone have a cause that is more important or just as important to them as being a veg or animal rights activist? Just wondering.

I have NO IDEA how my name got sold to get junk mail from Omaha Steaks, but I thought just for shits and grins I'd open it. So they have their $150 steak package for $50. Guess with the economy in the shitter, people are just opting for their grocery store steaks instead?

‘It is impossible to live your life without causing some harm; we’ve all accidentally stepped on ants or breathed in gnats, but that doesn’t mean we should intentionally cause unnecessary harm. Just because you might accidentally hit someone with your car is no reason to run someone over on purpose.’ (PETA)

I have always had poor nails, but over the past year or so, two injured nails keep splitting and breaking, and they are ridged and ugly. I think I get plenty of calcium, but wonder if anyone has had any good tips or remedies :)

As vegans we are expected to avoid products tested on animals. For some that is not possible, for example I take a medication for a psychiatric illness. I can more or less consider this illness to be life threatening as when left untreated in the past it led to suicidal ideation. I sort of hide my use of medication as I worry some people will question my "vegan-ness". However if someone suffers from type 1 diabetes and must take insulin, I seriously doubt anybody would confront them on this because without insulin they could be dead within days or even hours.

The dow dropped 777 points today. Biggest drop ever. Anybody scared? Excited? Turned on?

Ok, well since we're all veg, we're all eating "right" from the moral/healthy point of view. I guess what I actually mean is how do you make sure you aren't lacking essential nutrients? Do you plan your meals on a daily/weekly basis to make sure you're hitting all the high points? Do you just make sure to hit one of the essential (although not traditional) food groups at each meal? Do you take a multi-vitamin just to make sure you don't miss something important? Do you even pay attention?

Does it function the same as regular vegetable shortening?
