I call them the three P’s. We weighed our suitcases and moved dry goods back and forth until we made the 50# weight limit for Delta Airline’s strict baggage requirements. Many of the foods I packed were dry foods. Our luggage was so much lighter on the way back and we never went hungry. Do some research on the place you are planing to visit. Picking up the phone to talk to someone in the restaurant and the local grocery is a good thing to do. Before a trip to NJ, I called ahead to a grocery store to see if they carried tofu and soy milk. The clerk didn’t know what tofu was so I packed extra Mori-Nu Silken tofu. Be specific about what you want. You many even have to explain to a chef or kitchen staff Click here to continue reading Vegan Food List & Tips Some of the meals I prepared at Maho Bay in our Cabin on a Coleman Stove.

We arrived down there on 5-8-09 and returned home on 5-18-09. As a vegan traveler I had the task to package food for the entire trip for 2 people. The restaurant is not eco-friendly in my opinion as they truck in everything. When I asked 2 of the chefs if they could prepare a vegan dish they were very polite and said they could IF what they were preparing an item that could be converted to a vegan dish. I would have to give then a notice the day before or check with them in the morning. One chef asked me if I wanted to bring my own tofu or have them cook it up. We are spontaneous when we travel and often took off Click here to continue reading Maho Bay #counter { Number of animals killed in the world by the meat, dairy and egg industries, since you opened this webpage.

The Reality of Feed at Animal Factories When many Americans think of farm animals, they picture cattle munching grass on rolling pastures, chickens pecking on the ground outside of picturesque red barns, and pigs gobbling down food at the trough… Many people are surprised to find that most of the food animals in the United States are no longer raised on farms at all… Over the last 50 years, the way food animals are raised and fed has changed dramatically—to the detriment of both animals and humans. Many people are surprised to find that most of the food animals in the United States are no longer raised on farms at all. Instead they come from crowded animal factories, also known as large confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs).Just like other factories, animal factories are constantly searching for ways

Leonardo DiCaprio’s, the 11th Hour is currently in International Release. “The 11th Hour” is a feature length documentary concerning the environmental crises caused by human actions and their impact on the planet. “The 11th Hour” documents the cumulative impact of these actions upon the planet’s life systems and calls for restorative action through a reshaping of human activity.
With the help of Wikpedida I’m able to paste a pretty good definition of “Enlightenment”. You might ask why I should focus on this word instead of vegan. I’ll get more into the vegan word as I publish posts but the enlightenment part is very crucial to a vegan journey. Over and over again I get the typical questions vegan’s get such as “What do you eat?” and “How do you get your protein?” but I rarely get the question “Why?”. That leads me to my journey because only as a Human Being with enlightenment can one truly understand the “Why?”. I’m also going to need to address the “who, what, why, where and how on this journey but I will do it with as much compassion and understanding as I can. So let me bring some light to the word “Enlightenment”. Wikipedia Click here to continue reading Enlightenment – Many Meanings |
