That&#8217;s Month of Food.  Vegan.  Vegan Food.  Vegan Month of Food.  You&#8217;ve probably got it.  You&#8217;ve probably heard of it. <\/p>\n<p>And because of this wildly successful PROMOTION (See <a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/dailydish\/2009\/10\/go-you-veganmofos.html\">LA TIMES ARTICLE<\/a> on it) &#8230; more people, bloggers, and media folks are talking about the benefits of Vegan eating.  <\/p>\n<p>You know that 40 percent more greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming come from farm animals &#8230; than CARS, right?  You know that rainforests are being cut down because the land is &#8220;needed&#8221; to put farm animals (70 percent of deforestation) and the crops to feed them (nearly 30 percent).  <\/p>\n<p>You know that &#8211; if everyone in the world were vegan&#8230; there would be NO HUNGER.  SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER RATES of Disease and death from disease.  And, I think, a more compassionate planet.  <\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I read a lot of books, magazines, blogs, and whatever else I can get my virtual hands on about #Vegan Cooking.  You might notice that when we started this blog, I was vegetarian (thus the use of eggs and butter and dairy and cheese in some earlier recipes).  But after reading <a href=\"http:\/\/thechinastudy.com\/\">The China Study<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=popv-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=1932100660&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and now, more recently, Skinny Bastard&#8230;<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=popv-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0762435402&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>, <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m done with even trying to justify &#8220;eggs are okay&#8221; and &#8220;but I like cheese.&#8221;  Please.  As if the pus, poo, antibiotic factor weren&#8217;t enough.. the harsh, cold realities of how factory farming works (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodincmovie.com\/\">FOOD INC<\/a>) does. <\/p>\n<p>I know, the &#8220;Smug&#8221; is getting really thick.  But I do feel good about what I&#8217;m personally doing for me.  For my body.  For my family.  For the planet.  AND for the animals.  In our family alone, we&#8217;re preventing the painful, inhumane raising and slaughter of over 400 animals each year because we are vegan or vegetarian (one is still vegetarian&#8230; which is great).  <\/p>\n<p>I feel strange when I open a box.  Or sometimes even a can.  Or a bag.  I just want to work with, cook with, and eat&#8230; REAL food.  <\/p>\n<p>You know?<\/p>\n<p>Give Peas a Chance&#8230; and I hope you have a GREAT week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to the amazing Isa Chandra of Post Punk Kitchen fame&#8230; and KitteeKake &#8230; we&#8217;re now in day FOUR of #Vegan MoFo.
