The New Vegan
I’ve been re-evaluating my choices in life lately and being Vegan is one thing that came up. Not in the sense that I desire NOT to be Vegan but more so on Why I am Vegan, wanting to network more with others who choose a plant-based diet and expanding my knowledge on the subject. This […]
McDonalds – It’s What’s For Dinner Too Often!
A recent child custody case involved a meal at McDonald’s. A father who was attempting to make better food choices for his son refused to take that son to McDonald’s for dinner, offering him instead of several other options.

Should Your Dog Be Vegan?
The vegan diet may seem extreme to many people but it is not about deprivation, and not everyone chooses it for ethical reasons.
