Why Veganism? By Eva Batt
Written in 1964 this is an essay that is right on with the vegan principles: "a way of living which avoids exploitation whether it be of our fellow men, the animal
population, or the soil upon which we all rely for our very existence."

"Costa Rica is set to be the first country in the American continent to ban recreational hunting after the country's legislature approved the popular measure by a wide margin..."

[email protected] or phone them at: 906-227-1300 or toll free at 1-800-227-9668. What a wonderful asset this show could be by teaching people the many ways to prepare and cook 100% plant-based dishes that are also super delicious! How many times have we all heard how do you bake without using butter or eggs? Let's try to bring Laura into our homes and show us all how this can be done so easily. Bon appetit!
New Book Artisan Vegan Cheese by Miyoko Schinner
Books like this help us move along the vegan/plant-based journey, demonstrating how vegan cheeses can be delicious, gourmet, and much healthier than the dairy counterparts. And because there is zero animal products in these recipes this also amounts to zero animal exploitation in the making and enjoying of these "cheeses". More Info Here
Or Buy Some Vegan Cheese at the Co-op
Marquette Food Co-op sells a few vegan cheeses that are already made (warning: some so-called non-dairy cheeses have casein in it which is a milk product and therefore it is not vegan, please read ingredients, see if it is labeled vegan, or ask a staff member). A favorite is Daiya Cheese. Daiya is all vegan and melts wonderfully. The mozzerella is awesome. For more info go to: http://www.daiyafoods.com/.
You can put Daiya cheese on your vegan pizza or make a vegan grill cheese sandwith with it. It is awesome!
Dairy Cheeses are definitely not Vegan, but they are also not Vegetarian!
Most commercial cheeses are formed using rennet, the stomach lining of slaughtered calves, to coagulate the milk.
