Anna's Brooklyn Supermarket Adventures: Golden...
Golden Farm! This peach of a store is in Kensington, at 329 Church Ave. off the Church Avenue stop on the F train. It’s always open! ALWAYS. It’s a royal mishmash of ethnicities and cultures—an Eastern European supermarket in an Indian neighborhood, with Latina and Asian girls at the registers, each moistening her fingers on a halved cucumber à la Old Russia.

Veggies Gone Wrong: Former AIG Chief Executive... →
Vegansaurus just brought you the dirt on crazy-pants Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. Well, here’s another capitalist ideologue who shuns meat: In this current, typically shitty article from Reuters, Hank Greenberg, the 84-year-old former chief executive of a little company called AIG, attributes his great health to his veggie/near-vegan diet and his exercise regimen.
In other words: the dude who ran...

The latest in trends: eat some happy meat, sluts!
Gothamist asks, “Is Vegetarianism Dead?” a three-paragraph article based on a trend piece called “Flesh Mob” published in the New York Post, and gets—at last count—nearly 90 comments. Someone more cynical might call that the textual equivalent of taking your top off, but who’s cynical? Not us! We love our omnivorous friends. All of you are really great,...

They also have a list of blogs and organizations to follow to stay on top of the situation there. And before anyone comments about, “damn vegans, think of the people!” We are. We’re just thinking about both people and animals. It’s possible, widen your circle of compassion, buddy.

New rad blog in town, it's PAWESOME!
So there are a lot of blog in SF, most of them useless AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH ABOUT VEGANSAURUS. However, Eve of the highly useful SF Appeal, recently brought Pawesome to my attention. Pawesome is really great. It brings you the news on everything pets in SF; is heavily skewed towards rescue animals (yay!); and is very funny and highly readable. Plus, they post interesting stuff that I give a shit...

Dream of opening a vegan restaurant in SF? NOW IS...
According to SF Gate, in 1987, San Francisco banned new restaurants on Noe Valley’s 24th Street because residents felt they were losing local shops to eateries that drove up rents and caused traffic jams. Well bitches, that shit done happened anyway and yet, about 15 storefronts sit vacant (or basically decrepit and filled with extreme right-wing INSANITY) and the babies of Noe Valley demand...

Hey drug company assholes, stop killing sharks,...
What the hell. The pharmaceutical industry is so fucked up in so many ways. It’s bad enough they’re using factory-farmed chicken eggs to grow flu vaccines, now they had to go and make it extra fucked up by killing nearly endangered sharks.
Yes, you read that right, drug companies are buying squalene, an oil extracted from the livers of sharks, for use in flu vaccines. And the more...

Almond Milk: a love story
So…I know I’m kind of late to the game but I LOVE ALMOND MILK! I guess I’m relatively green as a vegan—I’ve got about three or four years under my belt—and I’m still discovering new vegan joys, almond milk is the latest addition.
I spend a lot of time at the corner store here in San Francisco. I often don’t get home from school until 11 p.m. or so...

New Yorker profile of Whole Foods CEO John Mackey →
The New Yorker profile of John Mackey aka CRAZY PANTS is a must-read. Not because Vegansaurus wants you to stop shopping at Whole Foods. Nah, we know that shit is complicated and we realize that people think vegans are crazy enough without us calling for boycotts of places that bring vegan options to the people just because their CEO is a right-wing nutjob fooling himself into thinking he’s a...

Help Haiti: Bakesales forming in NY, LA, SF,...
Veganites, Yesterday morning a 7.0 earthquake devastated Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti—it was the area’s worst earthquake in 200 years. It literally pulled everything to pieces. Here’s the New York Times’ coverage. How can you help? In several ways! You could most definitely donate directly to Doctors Without Borders, The International Rescue Committee, or...

Un-Cookbook review: The Raw Healing Patch!...
In my last post on Vegansaurus, I offered a few strategies for making raw organic foods more accessible and affordable, especially for young people and lower-income folks living in the Bay Area. Wherever you fall on the raw-to-cooked spectrum, it’s indisputable that the raw food movement is helping to bring more folks into the vegan fold, which is something all vegans can be happy about. It seems...

V-Day Dance: The V stands for VEGAN!!!!
I don’t mean to be the resident pessimist here, but Valentine’s Day is just one of those holidays that has the tendency to be a total bummer. And I’m not just talking about the hopelessly in-love couples with the cliched, sickening,...
