- Latin. Zesty. Vegan. Fajita Lasagna
- Tiny tasty churro bites
Vegan News:
- “Join us for VeganMofo – the Vegan Month Of Food. The idea is to write as much as you can for the month of October about vegan food. The blog entries can be about anything food related – your love of tongs, your top secret tofu pressing techniques, the first time your mom cooked vegan for you, vegan options in Timbuktu – you get the idea.” more from Isa at PPK >>
- “PETA doesn’t apologize, though, and accepts the attacks from their detractors. They’re focused on their goal: Helping animals by staying in the media. They know what attracts the attention of the media, and they continue to put on shows for them, thereby remaining a powerful public presence. For their newest stunt, they’ve asked the folks at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream to substitute human breast milk for cow’s milk.” read the excellent analysis at Digging Through The Dirt >>
- “A police force has offered £40,000 in compensation to animal rights campaigners, including supporters of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), after they were prevented from joining a protest against livestock exports.” reports the Independent
- “More than two thirds of Americans would rather be stranded on a desert island with their pet than with their partner, a poll showed on Thursday.” (source) Hmmm… I love my dog, but out of kindness to him I’d rather be stranded on a desert island with my husband. My little dog should stay safe somewhere else.
- “Organizers of a charity fundraiser say they’re going ahead with plans to auction a puppy this weekend. Animal rights activists are complaining it’s the wrong way to give a dog a new home.” reports WECT
- “Three Utah members of the Animal Liberation Front claimed credit Monday for breaking into a Kaysville farm early Sunday, destroying property and releasing thousands of minks.” reports the Salt Lake Tribune
