I am vegan for the animals. Every choice I make is done so in an effort to make life better for animals on this planet. Sometimes this drive is like a full-fledged bonfire, but sometimes life gets hectic or my mind gets clouded with other things and it dwindles down to just a flame. The … Continue reading » The post A Day Trip

It’s getting to the time of year where veggie burgers run rampant. Ok, not rampant, but you will see them on an awful lot of plates during the summer.

I’m not often vocal about my decision to turn veganese for a few reasons. One, I’m not often in the mood to get into a discussion about why/how I made my choice. Two, once people know I’m vegan, my food choices get scrutinized (“PIZZA ISN’T VEGAN, YOU KNOW” or “That’s all you’re eating? How sad.”).
