To restaurants: Instead of writing vegan friendly on your menu selections, I suggest writing animal friendly – which excludes all animals and animal products. The world is forgetting the animal with the vegetarian designation that hides animal products under the vegetation title as well as plant-based that can be part animal and part plant; justContinueContinue reading “Change Vegan Friendly To Animal Friendly”

ANIMAL-FREE MANIFESTO
The Animal-Free Manifesto written as an historical document by Sharon Lee Davies-Tight, The Animal-Free Chef People usually change themselves by seeing what they like in others and pursuing it. Or by digging deep into one’s reality and the realities that surround them, motivating that change. Throwing paint on people or screaming obscenities or shaming orContinueContinue reading “ANIMAL-FREE MANIFESTO”
Walking In A Rainbow
sweet white corn and summer tomatoes Popsicle sticks writing in hot, sticky tar, on hot streets, on hot summer days. Sitting on the curb with tanned shoulders bending to the ground by the weight of the sun. Spider webs sparkling in the morning dew. Cool, summer streams filling the air with rushing sounds of clearContinueContinue reading “Walking In A Rainbow”
GOD IS THE RECIPE
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RECIPE. The Recipe Is Everything That Matters. THE RECIPE IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. You say you don’t want a recipe. You laugh and say we don’t need your crazy dumass recipes. You’re dismissive when you say it’s not helping us. We need help you say, and all you doContinueContinue reading “GOD IS THE RECIPE”
VEGAN VS PLANT
You wouldn’t call seaweed vegan. Seaweed is seaweed all by itself. It’s a plant. You wouldn’t call tomatoes or blueberries or nuts vegan. They’re plants. RECIPES are vegan or not vegan, animal-free or animal-based. If the recipe contains no animal products, it’s vegan or animal-free. If the recipe contains some part of the animal, thenContinueContinue reading “VEGAN VS PLANT”
Where Have You Been?
When you go animal-free you find yourself attracted to more variety in your condiments, spices and herbs. In fact, in every category of animal-free, you begin noticing that which was previously blurred by the meat being the center of attention – differences in pastas, rices, veggies, beans, nuts and all the different, delectable ways they can beContinueContinue reading “Where Have You Been?”
What Veggie Means Here
When I use the word “veggie” in my recipes or writing I’m referring to animal-free/plant-based. Veggie means vegetable. I am not referring to vegetarian, which usually means containing eggs and/or dairy. Eggs and/or dairy are not plants, so go figure on how the world now accepts eggs and dairy as plants.
THAT’S YOU NOW
You want to explore. I know you do. It’s like being a kid again isn’t it? That feeling of going outside into your environment on any given day as a kid, to explore the world beyond your house or apartment to see what lies beyond the boundaries your parents set for you? What a wonderful,ContinueContinue reading “THAT’S YOU NOW”
Respect Is A Side Effect Of Going Animal-Free
Begin by going one day a week, any day or any meal, without meat. Then advance to more days on more occasions. Or start with eliminating dairy and eggs. About 65% of the human population has lactose intolerance*. Eating/drinking dairy, besides being unnatural after being weaned from mother, besides causing digestive disturbances via lactose intolerance, coats yourContinueContinue reading “Respect Is A Side Effect Of Going Animal-Free”
I Want An Animal-Free Mall
That’s right. A mall. Animal-free. A big one. With lots of glitter and big lights. With every kind of shop. Grocery, bakery, deli, shoe store, pet supply shop, clothes, hair salon using only cruelty-free products, and on and on, restaurants too. Good ones. I have a vision. And it’s a nice one. No fur, noContinueContinue reading “I Want An Animal-Free Mall”

A Fruit Is A What?
Who does this? Who calls a fetus a fruit? And why? Guilty people confusing the apple with the animal, so they can eat both. If a fetus is a fruit in the womb, then a baby grown to an adult is a fruit outside the womb. A fruit doesn’t change being a fruit when itContinueContinue reading “A Fruit Is A What?”
TO ANIMAL CHEFS re: MENU PLANNING FOR VEGANS
Since there’s a lot of negativity directed at people who don’t eat animals, it’s in the interest of the animal chefs, who have to design restaurant menus that include animal-free (vegan) options for these folks, to grasp the reasons behind their commitment. Viewing this well-made and respected documentary (Earthlings) helps the animal chef understand the decisionContinueContinue reading “TO ANIMAL CHEFS re: MENU PLANNING FOR VEGANS”
