The director/writer isn't vegetarian but he created this film which is pro-organic which exposes these mega corps. like Monsanto, Tyson, Smithfield, and Perdue that have changed the way we used to think how food agriculture was. It was interesting first time I watched it (before I was vegan) but hopefully it'll be viewed in all high schools to show our kids just what is going on in the agriculture business....

Used to think Microsoft was the most evil company in the world, then I heard about this Monsanto mafia and just makes me sick.

Welcome to the board Joe. Homemade smoothies taste great, cheaper and healthier for you; you can also dump a scoop of protein powder in your smoothie for your post workout or if your on the run. ie. http://vegweb.com/index.php?board=189.0

Dried beans???? Cooking depends on the bean but for most you just bring to a boil then cover/simmer for hour or so, that's for dried beans. When soaking, if you can, change the water and always rinse the beans off after soaking; I've also heard adding a pinch of baking soda during soaking helps; finally uncooked bean will give you gas.

Welcome Cory, enjoy your stay.

Interesting, good to know.

Good simple clip, now to find/understand and list what products aren't toxic

Good idea, Ducati! Enough of this hippie peacenik garbage! Let's start a 'why are you angry today' thread! Posting new topic in 3.............2...........1.....

Judging by your avatar and what you said, your obviously not doing enough weights to still have this "extra energy" to be able to get anger at others..... Only kidding I like your avatar but seriously could it be stress? or rushed with adding this weight lifting/cardo to your daily routine? (Had more to say but I'm super tired and need to sleep now.)

better, thanks for asking , I only felt a little discomfort on my bike ride home in the pouring rain; jumped into a bath of epsom salts again this evening and I feel nice and relaxed. Have a great day.

Welcome katz and congrads on being a vegan for 10 years. It's a slow process but no doubt you'll be able to accomplish what you've set your mind to.

When I was younger I wanted to learn to play the guitar and drums but had no time, was more interested in playing sports. I learned to play the recorder in grade 3, if that counts. Do you play any instrument/s?

Convenient, cost effective, faster absorption rate, lower in calories; protein powder is no whole food replacement but it does help make life a little bit easier.
