Maggie Q poses for PETA, talks serious veg...
Quoth Ms. Maggie Q in the Huffington Post:
There’s no way to look at the meat industry today and say, “There’s no environmental impact.” Animals grown for food pollute our air, our soil, our water, our streams, our oceans. And these are United Nations statistics; these are not statistics from PETA or animal rights groups. The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the...

The Queer Vegan Food Cookbook launches today!
Hi, Sarah E. Brown, Raw Sass here! Shameless plug alert: I’m the editor the following cookbook, but it’s OK I think because 100% of the proceeds go to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary so it’s really not my cookbook, it’s all for the animals! [Ed. note: Silly Sarah! Of course it’s OK, free stuff and self-promotion is why we write for this money pit]

Gross Alert: Fish Sperm Eating Gaining Popularity...
My twitter feed is hella queer, so when I clicked this LA Weekly article, I was expecting another piece by Michelle Tea hilariously detailing her latest conception (mis)adventures. Imagine my queer vegan horror when I saw that the article was in fact—gag alert—about a new trend of eating cod sperm at restaurants?!
Above: Cod sperm, which is NOT people food.
According to LA Weekly...

Let’s Have A Kombucha Kiki!
Kombucha habits are no joke. I’m not especially proud of this, but after several “buch” benders resulting in formidable piles of those slim bottles dominating our recycling bin, I realized I may have a problem. I eventually created a specific kombucha budget in my Mint.com account, watching in shame as the green bar turned to yellow and then red: “you’ve spent $4,000 over your kombucha budget...

New York Fashion Week gets vegan with Vaute!
I had such a wonderful time at the Vaute NYC Fashion Week show! I even brought my nice lil’ point-and-shoot so I could get some sweet pictures for you guys.
Leanne says the collection was inspired by Sailor Moon so I was expecting a lot of wackiness, but it was actually rather understated. But there were a lot of fun little details like the heart cutout in the dress below and various...

Summer in Winter: a smoothie and salad to cure...
My “cooking” style can best be described as hodgepodge. The more I try new things in the kitchen, the more comfortable I get, just like most things in life. Even though I needed to text TWO separate people asking them how to work the rice cooker that was immediately in front of me, and even though I’ve never finished preparing a meal without my sous chef, Chef Google-Search,...
