Terra Nemorosa - The Vegan Land

This was quite interesting. Alternative sources of energy are definitely worth checking out.

"I will continue to be a vegetarian even if the whole world started to eat meat. This is my protest against the conduct of the world."
Isaac Bashevis Singer – Nobel Prize winning author

This article is about what it means for most of us, to live in a world where we're very much alone to feel the way we do about animal exploitation. As far as I'm concerned, it's very accurate. For some it might be hard to go against the rest of the world, but at least for me, it was easy. I didn't have 'the rest of the world' even before I chose my lifestyle.

I found these articles interesting and informative. This one is about India's relationship with China, in connection with the Uighurs. Here, is another one with more about the Uighur people. Finally, this article deals with a civil rights movement for the Uighurs.

Normally, I'd never post anything about a tv talent show. However, this story, about Chinese racism and prejudices caught my interest.

If you, like me, tend to get depressed when the light disappears, this might help cheer you up.

Interesting article about a neuroscientist who argues against animal experiments - partly from the perspective of cruelty - but mainly because his research has shown him that it's useless. All those animals are being tortured and killed for nothing.

More oppression of minority groups by the Chinese authorities. Read more about it in this article.

Meat eaters sometimes claim that plants have feelings, not so they can avoid eating them, but so they can ignore the fact that animals most definitely do have feelings. This article discusses the possibility of plants being sentient.

I found this great article on Care2 and I thought I'd share it. Read it and learn why it's a good idea to switch from cow's milk to a vegan alternative. It mainly goes into the crueltyfree aspects of the switch, but there are plenty of other good reasons too. For one it's a lot more healthy for you.

Soy milk doesn't contain any cholesterol, in case you have troubles of that kind. It also lacks lactose (which is great for people like me who are lactose intolerant). You can actually make soy milk yourself and it isn't hard at all.

There are other alternatives in case you don't like, or are allergic to, soy milk. Rice milk and oat milk are the kinds I've tried, but in some countries you can also get hemp- and almond milk commercially. In fact, milk is just the beginning. You can also get yoghurt, cream, cheese, ice cream and things like tofu, soy protein (many different kinds), wheat protein (gluten or seitan) and much more. Some of those can be made at home with little or no special equipment.

If you haven't already tried them, I can really recommend the alternatives. (I only wish I could get hemp milk here...).

Look at this video to see what those are. I can only agree. There are probably more reasons, but these will do.

Do the ends really justify the means? Or are there some methods that are simply unworthy? Read this article and consider where you stand. I know my position. What's yours?

Just read this cool article. I'm always on the lookout for ways of adding to my home and the yard. For instance, I've been missing a root cellar at my place. This might be a way of getting one. Definitely worth a try.
