vegansaurus!: Discussion: Failed vegan experiments don't have to be total failures:

I know, I know, we’ve already asked this a million times, but reading the banally sad summary of Grist’s four-writer, 30-day vegan challenge, I have to conclude that either a vegan diet isn’t for everyone. Why it isn’t for everyone is debatable—not knowing the benefits? Not caring?…

My “Another recipe that’s so easy, it shouldn’t even be called a recipe” lfrv chocolate bites

- Bananas
- Cacao
- Dates
- Handful of walnuts

Blend bananas and cacao until smooth. Add dates and blend until incorporated. Roughly chop walnuts and mix through.

Spread mixture onto baking paper and place in freezer. Once solidified, slice and enjoy! Keep stored in freezer.

Yum! I like this because you can easily omit the walnuts for an overt-free version. I’ve found adding vanilla bean and a dash of cinnamon always enhances the chocolatey flavor, too ;)

Must try this!

“THE VEGG —A brand new incredible, edible egg-free product has just hit the market, making vegan eating even easier and tastier than ever before. The Vegg is a versatile egg yolk replacer that can be used (instead of egg yolks) in a wide range of recipes, and you can even use it straight as a liquid “yolk” for dipping toast in.

The Vegg is all-vegan, which is great news for the more than 250 million egg-laying hens in the US, most of whom spend their lives intensively confined inside barren wire cages. And since it’s made using 100% plant-based ingredients it’s also cholesterol-free.
INGREDIENTS: Nutritional Yeast Flakes, Sodium Alginate, Kala Namak, Beta-Carotene

Plus, every time you buy The Vegg, you can have an even greater positive impact because 10% of net sales will be donated to Compassion Over Killing until 2014!”

Has anybody tried this??? Looks too good to be true!

I bought some but I have no idea what to do with it oops

Are you kidding??? The website has SO MANY RECIPES and I want to try them all. I think if I bought it it would last me a week, tops, because I’d be egging up everything!

FANTASTIC WEBSITE:

exploitationiscontagious:

This website has a great 4 week plan for families, with a different meal almost every single day! One plan is completely vegan, and it will feed 4 people for 4 weeks for only £25 a week - that’s less than £1 per day per person, which is fucking amazing.

If you’re a skint vegan, or just a vegan looking for new recipes, check it out.

p.s. they had huge nutritional advice when forming the meal plan so that it’s entirely nutritious for an entire month!

vegansaurus!: Say goodbye to the polar bear:

Too bad, polar bears, but a bunch of us humans don’t want to stop selling your pelts on the open market, so you can expect to be hunted to extinction.

This issue is tied up with politics surrounding Canada’s First Nations, specifically the Inuit:

There are about 25,000 polar bears…

Mother bear kills her cub and then herself to save her from a life of torture

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:52:03 -0500

Mother bear kills her cub and then herself to save her from a life of torture :

amy-lynnn:

action4animals:

“‘When a worker wanted to open up her cub’s stomach [to harvest bile], the mother bear broke open the cage and went after the cub. After failing to release the chained cub, she hugged the cub. Then, the mother bear killed the cub to save it from a life of hell.’” Then the mother ran headfirst into a wall to kill herself. This is the level of anguish that mothers endure on factory farms everywhere — from this mother on a bear bile farm, to the mothers who cry for their babies on dairy farms. Don’t support the exploitation of animals in any of its forms.

Raw Vegan Chocolate Cake with Berries

Ingredients:

For cake:

3 cups/360g of hazelnuts (or whichever nuts you prefer)

2/3 cup/60g of raw cacao powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 cup/170g of pitted dates

For frosting:
1/3 cup/60g of pitted dates

1/4 cup/60ml of agave syrup

1/2 cup/120g of avocado

1/3 cup/30g of raw cacao powder

For filling and garnish:

1 cup/120g of fresh or frozen raspberries

120g of any berries you like

Method:

1. Blend the nuts with the salt and cacao powder until you have a rough powder. Then add the pitted dates and blend until you have a sticky mixture. Divide this mixture into two parts, wrap each in cling-film, and put in the fridge.

2. Whilst the chocolate mixture is cooling, prepare the frosting by mixing the dates with the agave syrup, then add the avocado and mix again until well combined, add the cacao powder and mix again.

3. Prepare a round 14cm cake tin with cling film (on the bottom and around the sides).

4. Take one of the cooled chocolate mixtures from the fridge and press this mixture onto the bottom of the cake tin, smoothing out with the back of a spoon.

5. Spread a few tablespoons of the frosting onto this mixture and sprinkle over a handful of the raspberries.

6. Take the second cooled chocolate mixture from the fridge and spread the dough out roughly to the size of the tin. Then place the dough over the layer of frosting and raspberries, applying little pressure to avoid squashing the raspberries.

7. Take the cake from the cake tin and place on a plate or serving platter. Decorate with the remaining frosting and berries.

Woah this sounds awesome!
