Um. You completely missed the point of buying in bulk. When people say buy in bulk they're not talking about purchasing a 50 pack of Hot Pockets at Sam's Club. They're talking about shopping in BULK BINS at places like Whole Foods or a community co-op where people are encouraged to bring their own containers and bags to fill up.

Also, you missed one of the cheapest ways to "be green". Cutting out meat. Not only is it the most impact a single person can have on the environment, but meat is so expensive that it can often cut a food budget in half.

Re: Vegan Survival Guide: Westfield Center Mall!

This would have been really helpful when I was going to school across the street from this mall for drinking a jamba juice smoothie every day for two years.

I amused the idea of asking a few of the places what was vegan but most days I was sleep deprived and/or headachey and the thought of going through that song and dance made me do a b line for the smoothie place every time.

My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and we had the best time. The food is great. The rooms are great. The staff is so nice and there are lots of cute animals.

I can't wait to go back. It's pretty much vegan paradise.

"I had already learned that when invited to a vegan potluck brunch, inexperienced omnivores will bring fruit—they don’t know what we crazy vegans can eat for breakfast"
Um. Yes. This is exactly what happened at our housewarming potluck. The vegans brought AMAZING dishes, the rest of them? Fruit! Or nothing at all...which was actually probably better than fruit.

And you *have* to try the tempeh cakes. They are amazing!

I'm not sure why a vegan would need to take calcium supplements at all. A cup of broccoli or spinach has twice the amount of calcium as a cup of milk. If you bother to actually eat greens you'll get calcium, if you don't you should probably reexamine your eating habits.

You can also get your daily requirements of vitamin D from... the sun! However, if you live in an area that is habitually cloudy or hang out in your room all day eating kale chips and surfing the internet you might want to take a supplement..

Re: Home Detox Improves \"Real Age\"

Nebraska — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:43:12 -0000

I just took the Real Age quiz. The results are extremely biased towards and omnivorous diet. I'm vegan and I eat very well balanced, varied meals. The survey told me I wasn't getting enough Omega 3's based on one question regarding whether or not I eat fish. It did not ask me if I ate flax seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, olive oil, soybeans, coconut oil or okra. Just fish. Since I answered "never" on the how often do you eat dairy products question it immediately jumped to the conclusion that I'm not getting enough calcium. Never mind that one cup of broccoli contains twice as much calcium as a cup of milk. And boy do I love broccoli.

There were some other inconsistencies not diet related.

It's a fun little survey and all...but like everything on the internet don't take it seriously.

Re: On Moving Toward Vegetarianism

LNR: The average adult only needs 2-3 servings of protein heavy foods a day (nuts, beans, etc). A serving is quite small, about half a cup. Your problem might not be protein, but iron or b12. Maybe you should get your vitamin levels tested before making any rash decisions.

If you're still convinced you're not eating enough protein give chickpeas a shot. I eat chickpea salad for lunch at least once a week. It takes about 5 minutes to throw together and makes a great sandwich. No cooking required. There are some other good raw bean salads out there, just google it.

I would totally try this if it didn't have cilantro in it.
