Jack and Toby Litsky are hardcore new vegans: The married couple started a plant-based diet last year. Because of their new emphasis on health, they like to bring their own 100% whole wheat pasta to restaurants when they eat out in their home state of New Jersey. Usually that’s not a problem, and most places even charge them less for their meals. But that wasn’t the case at Monticello at Red Bank on February 23rd. What ensued is a really weird dispute that’s ignited a discussion about the etiquette of eating out. More

Did you know that most medication contains animal products? That’s right: lactose, gelatin, carmine and other substances derived from animal products are common ingredients in pharmaceuticals.

There’s this idea that vegans are always super healthy in everything they do. But vegans like to get crunk as much as anyone else—they go out, they drink, and they have hangovers they need to cure with something other than the standard bacon n’ eggs breakfast. We’re here to help plant-eaters deal with this weekend’s inevitable St. Paddy’s Day hangovers with a list of meat-and-dairy-free hangover eating ideas. You know, just in case you’ve killed too many brain cells to actually decide what to eat for brunch. More

I recently went vegan for a month. After reading so much lately about the benefits of a vegan diet—both for the body and the earth—I decided it was something I needed to try.  Despite the fact that I “look like a vegetarian,” I enjoy cheese, chicken and the occasional burger in my regular diet. But regardless of how my diet continues to evolve, I know now that I’m not only capable of giving up animal products but that it’s also something as easy and enjoyable as it is healthful.

Are you in a snack rut? I was, before I starting eating vegan. I’d stick with apples and peanut butter or a string cheese, rarely choosing snacks that I couldn’t grab in about a minute flat. Snacks should be easy (and healthy, too, ideally!) but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for processed food if you want a fast snack. Here are eight vegan snack suggestions that I think omnivores will love as much as plant-eaters. More
The NY Vegetarian Food Festival this weekend included tons of vegetarian & vegan food vendors—and they offered samples. Here are six of the best new products I tried, including vegan “white cheddar” popcorn and a meatless, artisanal jerky. More

One of the most important tricks to vegan baking is learning proper substitutes for eggs, butter and milk. Replacing the milk is pretty easy, with so many non-dairy milks easily available today; and butter can be swapped for olive oil or vegan margarine, such as Earth Balance spread. But vegan egg replacers are where things get tricky, and there are so many options. Here are six to try. More
