Vegetarianism as Environmental Movement
2007-05-03 04:17:00
This article and its accompanying source delve deeply into the progresive realization that raising and feeding livestock animals as food for meat-eaters is taking its toll on Mother Earth. There are a host of issues that "the raising and feeding" is bringing to the forefront including water pollution, air pollution, land degradation, and other environmental ailments swept under the rug that the majority of the population doesn't know about. Vegetarians everywhere should feel good knowing we are contributing positively to the world we live-in and we are environmental activists in our own right simply by adopting a vegetarian diet.

Update on the Vegetarian Chili
2007-04-20 06:01:00
My roommate was gracious enough last week to get me a book from my wishlist, entitled "Meatless Meals for Working People" and in it was a simple but hearty recipe for vegetarian chili, yes the one i posted about a few days ago, and today i attempted to make this meal for her and i. I decided to add some meatless crumbles from LightLife, so the total grams of protein came to about 16, not bad for chili. I think i could have added more chili powder than what is called for in the recipe and also more seasoning on the crumbles. This recipe makes for a tasty, quick, and easy low calorie vegetarian meal. See my pics of the finished meal.

I myself do take a multi-vitamin daily and have since before becoming a vegetarian, as i feel sometimes, on certain days, i may not eat a balanced meal. So the vitamin supplement makes for up for incomplete, lost, or missed nutrients. Vitamin B-12 is one, vegans (those that do not consume dairy), need to be especially mindful of, as it is only found in animal-based protein. On my research for this entry on Vitamin B 12, i found this article that does a good job of explaining the importance and also the consequences of a Vitamin B12 defiency, the author states that "it would be better for the lacto-ovo-vegetarian to rely on low-fat dairy products for their source of B12. Vegetarian s who use a B12 supplement should ensure that it contains an active form of the vitamin-namely, cyanocobalamin or hydroxocobalamin". A B12 supplement of five micrograms taken daily is probably adequate. Some suggest that B12 su...
