That time again…. With more emerging data, people need to wake up. It’s not just about health. It’s about accepting animals as sentient beings. It’s about a climate crisis where animal agriculture is the main cause. It’s time to eat more plants. Note – As I’ve written multiple times, I acknowledge that it’s not feasible […]
Legendary Space-Rock act “Hawkwind” have an ultimate anthem with their track “Vegan Lunch”. It is a peppy, upbeat message of kindness, compassion and conservation. Founder and sole original remaining member Dave Brock is speaking loudly about the need for the world to wake up to the realities of animal cruelty, personal health and climate change. […]
Just because a market focuses on meats, does not mean it has to be avoided in order to buy produce. While I understand the opinions of many in the global vegan community who might disagree, hear me out. Where I live, there is a nearby small market with such a focus. It has “meat market” […]
Two years a vegan. Many days are heart-heavy. Thoughts slip in and out of the unconscionable slaughter and suffering that takes place every day. Every minute, every second… And most of humanity does not realize it. Nor do they accept the reality when the facts and science is placed in front of them. The Amazon […]

The April 10th meeting saw party leaders and around 150 attendees discuss one of the industries upon which the province has a large reliance. Progressive Conservative Party Leader Dennis King acknowledged a growing percentage of […]
One of my favourite 7-course meals is a pan of roasted potatoes and a six-pack…. All kidding aside, comfort food during my teenage years was junk garbage. There were days when my friends and I would scrape together change we found on floors and in between furniture just so we could rip through a fast-food […]
One year later, why would I even think of going back? One year ago, my moment happened. The best wake-up call I ever answered. I grieved hard. I mourned the animals whose lives are lost every day. I mourned the sheer ignorance and general acceptance of the world around me. The ignorance of how most […]
Dark images can take you to dark places. Two weeks ago. Port Williams, in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. Home to two fine breweries and other small businesses. Farm country. While waiting for those I was with to emerge from a shop, I saw an empty truck parked along the side street. It was across from […]
In September of last year, I moved to a plant-based diet. Given the benefits I see in a short period of time, going back to a diet with animal products can never be an option. My story is one of many. This month there are sure to be more testimonials emerging from those who pledged […]
Vegan Chili. I’m still not a major fan of beans, with a few exceptions. Anytime I contemplate food in the here and now, there is a feeling of overwhelming gratitude. It’s a simple thing people take for granted. Never did I think moving to a plant-based diet would be so easy, and so enjoyable. This […]
