A reader of my blog emailed me last night asking that I post something about an accident that happened in Los Angeles back in June. 16 year old Carissa Bodner was with a large group of bicyclists late in the night on June 16th when a drunk driver evidently plowed right into them, sending Carissa [...]

An 11 year old on food

It’s nice to see the next generation realizing what’s going on and speaking out about it. I think if I had been more aware of farm and animal conditions growing up that I would have made changes in my eating habits a long time ago. But I don’t recall anybody ever talking about it. It [...]

I’m not sure what the hell is going on in this country but I’m starting to get pissed off. Well, I’ve been pissed off. I’m starting to get pissed off enough to do something. Or at least try. I think that’s the problem with this place. We the people have the ability and numbers to [...]

The vegan club evidently has a strict “all or nothing” policy and since I do not fall into this “all” category I am evidently not vegan. At all. Not even an inkling. Assolutamente niente. At least not as far as some vegans are concerned. For some odd reason I had it in my head that [...]

If your mind took a sharp turn south you can now retrieve it from the gutter. The quarterly blood drive at PSU is coming up on October 19th and 20th from 11am – 4pm. It’s a simple matter really. You come, sit down, read of bunch of fine print, testify that you don’t possess anything [...]

One in eight women are or will become diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. Being that there are a lot of women running around out there, myself included, it’s likely that we all know somebody that has/ had/ or will have breast cancer. The Portland Race for the Cure event is [...]
Tofutti eaters beware!
Posted in Irritation, oodFay, Things that matter, tagged recipe, Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, trans fat, vegan cream cheese on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I recently learned that Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese isn’t exactly “better.” Most of their varieties have trans fat in them. Shocking, I know. I typically scour the labels of most food products I buy but sometimes I get lazy, and almost trusting, with certain vegan foods because for some reason I feel like they [...]
