E! Online says that the hot new vegan ingredient is … drum roll … jackfruit! So feast on Mini Jackfruit and Kimchi BLT Slider Bites (above), Jackfruit Enchiladas (below), or Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos (far below). 

Thanks for ruining our little jackfruit secret E!

UDDER FLAMING/SINGEING

One of the torturous practices “dairy” cows are forced to endure for humans’ taste buds is udder and belly hair removal. Dairy farmers claim that hair removal is a vital process to improve udder cleanliness and reduce bacteria and that udder flaming/singeing is a “humane” way to accomplish this. Udder singeing is further described as a way to remove hair “quickly and painlessly, using a 6” cool flame, eliminating the need to clip udders manually.”* The cows in UDDER SINGE demonstration video appear to disagree with the claim that it is painless: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0LzliJzoXs

While some dairy farmers flame the udders when they are full of milk, some flame them after the cows have been milked.

FINTI FALAFEL SENZA COTTURA

Queste polpettine freschissime sono l’ideale per un aperitivo veloce e sfizioso. Ricordano i falafel e non hanno bisogno di cottura. Se non vi piace la paprika, potete rotolarle in semi di sesamo.

INGREDIENTI per 10-15 polpettine

10 baccelli di fave fresche
250g di ceci in scatola (o 80g di ceci secchi da cuocere)
Il succo di 1/2 limone
1/4 cipolla
4 noci
1 cucchiaio di polpa di pomodoro
1 cucchiaino di tahina (pasta di sesamo)
Paprika piccante q.b.

Sbucciare le fave e unirle agli altri ingredienti in un frullatore (o frullare con un mixer a immersione). L’impasto deve risultare abbastanza solido. Regolare di sale.

Formare delle palline e rotolarle nella paprika piccante.

Lasciar riposare in frigo per 30 minuti circa prima di servire.

“FAKE” RAW FALAFEL

These fresh balls are perfect for a quick and tasty snack. They recall the falafel but they don’t need baking or frying, since they’re raw. If you do not like paprika, you can roll them in sesame seeds.

INGREDIENTS for 10-15 balls

10 pods of broad beans
250g canned chickpeas (or 80g of dried chickpeas to cook)
The juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 onion
4 nuts
1 tablespoon of chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon of tahini (sesame paste)
Spicy paprika q.b.

Remove the broad beans from the pods and add them to the other ingredients in a blender (or blend with an immersion blender). The dough should be pretty solid. Add salt to taste.

Shape into balls and roll them in the hot paprika.

Let stand in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Hunting of wildlife as a control of overpopulation or “invasive species/pests” is a myth created by modern-day hunters who wish to continue their sport/leisure without facing scrutiny from conservation scientists, environmental activists, and the like. The examiner collected a good list of sources and explanation on the topic here, noting that even those who do believe in population control have no excuse for hunting/killing in order to achieve it. As is with most cases, relocation and other non-lethal methods are extremely possible.

There is also information available from Last Chance For Animals, detailing how hunters interact with “invasive species”, non-native species, and endangered animals. 

As a summary of the above linked information, it is safe to say that the main goal of hunting is a leisure activity (particularly for the wealthy), and that as a majority it has no positive effect, or even intent to offer such, on the environment and its inhabitants.

Hearing Joe Rogan talking positively about a vegan fighter on a UFC event was one of the final things to convince me to go vegan. I’m not really big on fitness and such, but it proved to me that vegans aren’t the frail hippy stereotype. It said you could not only live on a vegan diet but you could thrive.
