Have Gone Vegan

so good Veganaise

While I'm still reminiscing about food products, I also don't think I told you that I tried Veganaise this past summer and was pleasantly surprised. Never a big fan of mayonaise (I preferred Miracle Whip in my pre-vegan days); I quite liked this concoction with my tomato sandwiches. Ah, remember summer and yummy field tomatoes? Sigh. Anyway, I would buy Veganaise again although it IS a bit pricey. There are recipes out there though for making your own, but I don't use enough at one time to warrant making a whole batch that will only last for 7-10 days. Unless I'm making potato salad, I guess. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to find those recipes after all.

so nice Noel Nog

 
Before it gets even later in the year and even more ridiculous to still be talking about Christmas, did I tell you that I found vegan eggnog for the holidays? It tasted just as good, except it wasn't as thick as the regular stuff. Will definitely buy again!

  

vegan slogans continued

So my favourite slogans from the previous post were:

• Veganism - Saving Millions One Bite At A Time
• I'm Vegan - Bite Me
• I Think, Therefore I'm Vegan

But I'm trying to come up with more and the tricky (impossible?) part is incorporating all the elements of veganism that are important. Anyway, here are a few that have been percolating in my brain:

• Save Billions - Be Vegan
• Have A Heart - Go Vegan
• What Would Jesus Eat Today?
• Cow's Milk - Really?

Okay, now I'm just going to throw everything out that I can in hopes that something half-decent will emerge from the sludge:

• Social Justice Began When You Became Vegan
• Be Vegan - Every Bite Counts
• Change The World By Changing What You Eat, or
• Change What You Eat - Change The World

Actually, I've changed my mind, snort. What I'm going to do instead is start a separate page for Vegan Slogans that you can find in the upper right hand corner beside Vegan Quotes. In it, I'll list the good ones from above and keep adding to it and mucking around with it until there are a number of vegan slogans that I like. Contribute your own slogans in the comments section, and if I like 'em, I'll add 'em! :)

I know! It's been a while. And where have I been you ask? Well, I'm still recovering from the stomach flu after helping the old folks (my parents) recover from their stomach flu. And I'm still cleaning. No, not after them or myself (at least, not any more), but this wee little blog. Did I ever tell you by the way that the most frequent Google search that brings people here lands them on the "vegans poop more" post? Snort. But it's true, vegans DO poop more, or they should, as they tend to consume more fiber. So I guess in a sense we're not only better, but also cleaner--kidding! Oh, and stomach flu will definitely make you poop more too. See now what I mean about having to clean? And did you visit George in the link above? Tried to insert the image right into the post, but I think I may have gotten a bit of brain flu too.

I hope to be blogging regularly again real soon. But in the meantime, one of the things I want to bitch about is the lack of good vegan slogans. Oh I know, there's the old Meat Is Murder (which I somehow doubt is effective because how is labeling someone a criminal going to entice them to join our movement?), but why can't we have better slogans like the feminist The Personal is Political or the gay I'm Here, I'm Queer, Get Used To It? But even adapting them doesn't quite work. The Culinary is Political? Nah. I'm Here, I'm Vegan, Get Used To It? Doesn't have the same ring, does it? Oh, I did come across one that I kind of liked (sorry, can't remember from where), and it goes like this: Veganism - Saving Millions One Bite At A Time. So, do you know of any great punchy slogans? Or do we need to make more up?

Oh yeah, I'm Vegan - Bite Me, isn't too bad. And I just read this: I Think, Therefore I'm Vegan. Gotta love that!
