When I moved to D.C., my seasonal allergies, which had always been occasional and mild, suddenly became frequent and aggressive. As terrible as sneezing and watery eyes can be, I have to admit that I wish my seasonal allergies manifested that way. I happen to be allergic to cats; when that allergy flairs up, my [...]

Recently, [...]

The first time I had ever heard of the term vegetarian was in high school. My senior year, I was on the dance team with a girl that explained she became a vegetarian after she had lived on a farm and her family made her favorite chicken into dinner. After listening to her story, my cousin said that she was going to try vegetarianism;

One of the reasons it's so difficult to study the relationship between diet and cancer is because many dietary behaviors are associated with non-dietary behaviors. For example, one of the reasons we used to think coffee-drinking caused cancer was because people who drink coffee are more likely to have a cigarette in the other hand,…

Dear Ariel Kaminer, I am writing in response to your contest, “Calling All Carnivores.” Why must the NY Times encourage readers to eat meat?

I overheard a friend of mine explaining to a meat-eater, “Yes, but vegans believe meat equals evil.” This is another subtle but pervasive opinion of vegans which I take issue with.
