A Slacker’s Update!

Tim — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:59:23 +0000

Well, it has been awhile since the last post!!!

In a few months it will be a year since I made the switch to give up animal based products for a guilt free lifestyle. This now includes, not only food, but also consumer goods. I am proud to say my climbing shoes are made from artificial [...]

Christmas Fruit Mince Pie

Jordan — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:44:45 +0000

Weakness strikes! There is an open packet of fruit mince pies on the bench.

I stood in the supermarket for about 5 full minutes staring at fruit mince pies about two weeks ago. Took a lot of mental encouragement to walk further down the isle.

Now they sit on the bench (not from my purchase, mothers). I [...]

The Running Vegan!

Tim — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:40:02 +0000

The most frequently asked question that I get after becoming a vegan is “What do you eat”? Well, I eat food, just not that derived from an animal. And, trust me, there is more to plants than just carrots!

It’s totally understandable to me that people would ask me this. I think [...]

Where did your chicken come from?

While I was considering becoming a vegetarian/vegan my biggest concern was dining out. Well, I am happy to report that my first few experiences have been good.

My first meal out was in a wee spot in Waikanae. I feel bad as I have forgotten the name of the place and they were very accomodating.

The only [...]

One Month, I made it!

Jordan — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:28:26 +0000

I have now been vegan for one month. To be honest I feel great, I have even had a couple of people comment on how I look leaner. There has only been a few moments where I have wanted to cheat but I managed them.

Only just the other night I was driving home [...]

Vegan? Me? You must be kidding!

Tim — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:28:00 +0000

Turns out that I am a vegan. I assure you that no-one is more surprised than me!

I had been thinking about becoming a vegetarian for moral reasons for some time but never quite had the courage to plunge in. My Dad was a butcher (ah, yeah, Dad… I’m now vegan!) so [...]

Now I’m a vegan!

Jordan — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:25:40 +0000

Two weeks ago, I built up the courage to try something new. I decided to follow my heart and do something against the grain, swim up stream. I chose to be a vegan.

Let’s start before 2 weeks ago. I love meat. I would buy the meatiest pizza’s just because they had the most meat. I [...]
