An interesting post on how an avid meat-eater went vegan for a whole month. I’d find it really hard to go vegan, and I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t imagine what it was like for him:
A Carnivore’s Guide to Going Vegan for 30 Days.
It’s a really good blog in general, I recommend you “follow” it.
No, you don't need meat to survive...
The video says it all:
Ooh that sounds nice, doesn’t it? Chocolate, Oreo, cake… everything is good! And it’s intense! How wonderful! Ok, enough of the praises.
The recipe basically is Oreos and chocolate. It is suitable for vegetarians, so enjoy!
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a shortbread with chocolate peanut spread on it that was suitable for the whole family. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans and lactose and soy free. oh, and don’t forget it would have to taste brilliant. Sounds superb, doesn’t it?
Well, today that vision has come true. There is a recipe for this dream-like food below.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think in the comments below.
Today I am ‘stealing’ a recipe from another blog. I hope they don’t mind. 
A while back, they posted a fantastic vegetarian soup. Well, it is not surprising that it is vegetarian – the author of the fantastic blog is a vegetarian herself. Like me. Anyway, here is the recipe (enjoy!). 
Write about something to do with bacon. Do you like it? Hate it? Wish there more of it, or less? Do you like the way it looks, or do you wish you never saw it again? What do you think of bacon flavored chocolate, or the significance of the phrase “brining home the bacon?”
I am a vegetarian, so I don’t eat bacon from animals. Quorn bacon, however, I can eat. I think the Daily Post is talking about the meat…
Do I like it? No, because innocent animals are mercilessly slaughtered for it. Poor them!
Hate it? The flavour is okay, the fact that animals have died and that it is a piece of a corpse does make me hate it. I mean, would you want to eat a bit of a human corpse? No. So why eat animal corpses?
Wish there was more of it, or less? Less, definitely. More animals would live if no bacon was eaten/produced.
Like the way it looks, or do you wish you never saw it again? A bit of a corpse. I don’t like the way it looks, and I’d be happy never to see it again.
Bacon flavoured chocolate? I’ll give it a miss, thanks.
Significance of the phrase “bringing home the bacon?” I don’t know what that means, and a Bing search didn’t help, so I’ll leave that one.
What do you think of bacon, All of time and space readers? I know that at least one of you is vegetarian (K), and another doesn’t eat pork (H). What about the rest of you?
I want you to imagine you are a pig. Yes, you read that right. So, you are a pig. Suddenly, you are given an electric shock. It mostly numbs you, but not completely. Then you are hung up, and your throat is cut. The blood drains out of you, slowly, and eventually you die…painfully…
Not nice, is it?
Imagine again. This time you are a chicken. You have never seen the light of day. You are stuck inside a barn with LOTS of other chickens. You are not healthy. At all. You see the light for a brief amount of time… on the way to the slaughter-house. You then die horribly.
This time you are a fish. Happily swimming around. Suddenly you are caught in a net… then you die, by drowning in air.
These are what animals and fish experience all the time. Not nice, is it. Ask yourself this question: would you eat meat if you had to kill the animal yourself? If, for some reason, the answer was yes for that one, answer this one: would you still eat meat if you had to kill the animal yourself AND you had known that animal for a long time and grown close to it.
Think about it. Then I urge you to become either a vegetarian or a vegan today. You can access the official Viva! website here. Viva! will help you with whatever choice you have made.
Help make the world a better place this year. Become a vegetarian or vegan today.
So cute! Don't let it die!
