Book Review: Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

[February 28]

A while back I read Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals.  I definitely should have shared it with you earlier as it was absolutely brilliant and totally worth a read for vegetarians and carnivores (ok omnivores: potatoes potautoes) alike. In this book Foer inspects our country’s treatment of industrialized animals and comes at it with a [...]

Reading And It’s Meaning

[October 14]

So, basically, I’ve avoided writing about books I’m reading, read, or loved solely on the basis that they’re not related to vegan life (unless they are like I did here and here). But I was thinking (as I often get caught up doing) that reading is a big part of who I am and it’s [...]

The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone

[August 12]

Book Review: Green Babies Sage Moms by Lynda Fassa

I am Eloise, I am Six

[April 15]

Ok, so this post is certainly not green, but it’s still good! I have such a special place in my heart for Kay Thompson’s Eloise.  I’m pretty sure I used to make my mom read it to me on a daily basis.  And although I was really young, I have such amazing memories (whole sections [...]
