Nuggets and Hummers and fish sticks, oh my! PETA VP argues vegetarianism is the best way to help the planet	Grist	18 Sep 2007	Gristmill
This is a guest essay from Bruce Friedrich, vice president for campaigns at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). It was written in response to Alex Roth's essay "PETA's dogma is all bark and no bite." Friedrich has been an environmental activist for more than 20 years. In 1987, I read Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappé and -- primarily for human rights and environmental reasons -- went vegan. Two decades later, I still believe ...

Can't we all just ... be vegans? Veganism: All or nothing?	biodiversivist	17 Sep 2007	Gristmill
The average American weighs about 170 pounds, eats about 180 pounds of meat, gets about 24 mpg, has about two kids, owns about one-third of a cat or dog, and lives in a 2,350-square-foot home. There are lots of ways to alter your carbon footprint. Depending on your personal proclivities, some ways are 'easier' than others. You get to pick what is 'easiest' for you. For some, the 'easiest' thing to do is not have kids. For others it is to go car-free. Not having ...

Vegetarianism and environmentalism On PETA's latest campaign	David Roberts	16 Sep 2007	Gristmill
Just 'cause I love poking the hornet's nest, I thought I'd weigh in on this brouhaha about PETA, vegetarianism, and environmentalism. As I see it, there are three core questions: 1. Should citizens of conscience become vegetarians? To me, the answer to this question is pretty obviously yes. I don't see how it can be seriously argued. Depending on your inclinations, you can heed the health arguments, the moral arguments, or the environmental arguments (regardless ...

PETA's dogma is all bark and no bite Animal-rights group makes the stupid claim that enviros must be vegetarians	Grist	14 Sep 2007	Gristmill
This is a guest essay from Alex Roth, a financial analyst, attorney, and environmentalist in Washington, D.C. Matt Prescott, a spokesperson for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, asserted last month that 'you just cannot be a meat-eating environmentalist.' PETA's pronouncement is part of a cooperative campaign among a number of animal-rights groups. Their message is that meat production exacerbates global warming. PETA will lead the charge by dispatching an ...

Driving Us to Vegetarianism Animal-rights groups say meat-eating worse for climate than driving		30 Aug 2007	Daily Grist
Driving Us to Vegetarianism Animal-rights groups say meat-eating worse for climate than driving With which instrument do you cause more greenhouse-gas emissions: your car key or your fork?

Sausage fest NYT dating advice: Eat more flesh	Kate Sheppard	09 Aug 2007	Gristmill
This makes me want to barf, on so many levels: Martha Flach mentioned meat twice in her Match.com profile: 'I love architecture, The New Yorker, dogs ... steak for two and the Sunday puzzle.' She was seeking, she added, 'a smart, funny, kind man who owns a suit (but isn't one) ... and loves red wine and a big steak.' The repetition worked. On her first date with Austin Wilkie, they ate steak frites. A year later, after burgers at the Corner Bistro in Gre ...

What's to eat? Meat or no meat On the difficulties of going veggie	Christine Gardner	22 Jul 2007	Gristmill
I love bacon. Sure, meat is murder and all that, not to mention it's contributing more emissions than most of us slightly green carnivores would like to admit, but it is tasty. And filling. I learned that last bit in June when my family gave up meat at the slight urging of vegetarian Gristmillers responding to my query about the best ways to green my family life. It took me about three tummy-rumbling weeks before I learned veggie burgers satisfied my cravi ...

Vegan couple make terrible mistake Educate yourself before going vegan	biodiversivist	10 May 2007	Gristmill
From the Associated Press: A vegan couple were sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for the death of their malnourished 6-week-old baby boy, who was fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice. I realize this is an extreme example, and these two were way out of the norm in their ignorance about vegan nutrition. I am not posting this to slam vegans. I'm just using it as an opportunity to give some unsolicited advice to any of you with children who ...

What's the deal with soy sauce? [Seinfeld voice] Seriously, isn't it just gross?	David Roberts	05 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Having adopted a quasi-vegetarian lifestyle, I can finally join in: man, you meat eaters suck! Ahem. Speaking of my quasi-vegetarianism ... what's the deal with soy sauce? I've found that eating vegetarian in practice means eating lots and lots of Mexican (rice and beans) and Chinese (rice and veggies) food. When it comes to the latter, the standard practice seems to be frying some veggies in a wok, dumping them over rice, and dousing the whole mess with soy sauce ...

My veg moment That's it for me and industrial meat	David Roberts	07 Feb 2007	Gristmill
The other day I went to Costco with my older boy -- during the Super Bowl, for stealth. It took a bit of persuading to get him there, so I told him about the ladies who stand around and hand out food samples. Everything was going fine. A mozzarella ball, yum. A little square of pizza, delish. Even the chicken taquito was tolerable. Then I made the mistake.A hunched lady with a bright red cart was handing out small pieces of chicken breast in teriyaki sauce. Or rather, ...

Edible Media: In seitan's lair Why the vegetarian critique of meat-eating should make meat-eaters squirm	Tom Philpott	28 Jan 2007	Gristmill
Edible Media takes an occasional look at interesting or deplorable food journalism on the web. It's been a rough couple of months for meat eaters. In late November, the FAO issued a startling report claiming that livestock production emits fully 18 percent of global greenhouse gases -- more than all the automobiles in the world. Then out comes a big book: The Bloodless Revolution by British scholar and proud 'freegan' Tristram Stuart. The book seeks to trace the 'cul ...

What is Moby doing for Thanksgiving? The pop star shares his holiday plans	Sarah van Schagen	22 Nov 2006	Gristmill
Ever wonder what celebrities do for the holidays? Are they sipping Cristal and nibbling foie gras, or throwing back eggnog and turkey giblets like the rest of us? During a phone chat with pop star Moby this week, I got the chance to ask that very question. A strict vegan, Moby hasn't touched anything close to eggnog for 20 years, so what is he chowing on this weekend? You might be surprised by what's on -- or off -- his menu. The following is a snippet from a ...

What you eat matters ... big time Go veggie -- a poll	Jason D Scorse	03 Nov 2006	Gristmill
With Science about the collapse of the world's fisheries, I think it's appropriate once again to examine a topic that doesn't get enough attention: our diets. Not only does eating fish exacerbate the collapse of marine ecosystems and lead to the death of millions of other creatures, including turtles, dolphins, and whales, but the energy used to catch deep-sea fish is equivalent to factory-farmed beef.That wasn't a typo. Eating most types of fish is like eating Big Ma ...

The recipe for twins (sorry, vegans)	Todd Hymas Samkara	22 May 2006	Gristmill
Attention female vegans (and no, I'm not soliciting romance, thanks): If you're dreaming of birthing twins, you may want to read this. Women who eat a vegan diet -- a strict vegetarian diet that excludes all animal products including milk -- are one-fifth as likely as other women to have twins, a U.S. researcher reported on Saturday.But despite what some headline-writers suggest ('Vegan diet lowers odds of having twins' and 'Meat-Eaters More Likely to Have Twins ...

Gobble It Up Three paths toward a green -- and tasty -- Thanksgiving	Tom Philpott	17 Nov 2005	Main Dish
Of all the crimes against nature Thanksgiving inspires -- SUVs clogging the highways, planes shuttling fliers around the country, factory farms churning out millions of frozen turkeys -- the most grievous may be culinary. First, the above-mentioned turkeys typically taste like sawdust; cranberry "sauce," a gelatinous goo that ominously retains the shape of the can it slipped out of, doesn't ...

Teeth Chatter On vegetarianism	Umbra Fisk	26 Nov 2002	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, I have been a vegetarian for a pretty long time, but my uncle told me that if the human is not supposed to eat meat then why do we have teeth. He left me a little confused. Is the human being naturally vegetarian? Laida Somerville, Mass. Dearest Laida, Your uncle is unkindly denigrating your ideas, and using his authority to confuse you. His comment reminds me of a long-ago MAD Magazine spoof -- to paraphrase, "If the Lor ...
